Painted Kitchen Cabinets

I finally got around to cleaning after the kitchen remodel, so I could take some after pictures. It still isn’t quite finished. Someday I might get around to some window treatments and another someday new appliances. The cabinets were nice (raised panel-classic design), just ugly so all I had to do there was paint. I also applied beadboard and corbels to the island to give it more substance and painted the walls and molding. It’s amazing how much of a difference paint can make.

Here is it looked like before.

See the space between the cabinet and patio door? There was room there for a lovely garbage can if a person wanted to put one there. I did not, so I removed the existing upper cabinet and built 2 new upper cabinets and an additional base cabinet. Then I made one of the existing base cabinets a slide out garbage cabinet. I built the uppers 14″ deep to fit larger items like chargers or serving dishes that don’t always fit in a standard 12″ cabinet.

This makeover was achieved by replacing the flooring, countertops, cooktop, sink, faucets, lighting and cabinet hardware and by adding a lot of paint!

Your kitchen turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Of course, it is the spitting image of my own–white cab, black granite counters, even the yellow walls…so I may be partial. Whatev–we're totally kitchen kindred spirits…errr, or something like that…something less weird and Anne of Green Gables-y. YOU ROCK!

I seriously love you! WOW! I LOVE remodeling and learning all of the crazy skills involved. We just finished a house we flipped and we'll close on that at the end of the month. I'm so impressed with your skills and vision. To have both is rare. Can't wait to see what else you come up with! The kitchen is amazing…what a transformation!
