What a difference paint can make
It didn't take long to update this kitchen.
And I didn't even spend $ 100.
But it feels so much better now, the kitchen looks modern and bright and makes me happy to start my day in.
Before and after pictures
This was the first kitchen I painted. I couldn't stand the dark look of the cabinets and the dark floor. It was just too much brown.
So I experimented and painted it in two different greys.
The paint was not even $ 200, new hardware was $ 25.
We also updated the stove, the dishwasher and added a range hood. The whole kitchen update was $ 2,000.
What do you think?
So far I have painted 3 kitchens, numerous vanities, and many RV cabinets
I don't like dark, brown kitchens with dark floors. It is just too depressing.
But I also don't like to spend thousands of dollars on new cabinets.
Not being able to use my kitchen for weeks when ordering new cabinets is another factor that made me learn how to paint cabinets the easy and fast way.
And updating cabinets is so much easier than installing a new floor.
It is amazing to see the transformation of a dated and dark-looking kitchen into a happy and modern looking one.
My first kitchen update
This was the first kitchen I painted. A pretty big project that I finished within 10 days. I painted every day for about 2-3 hours until I was done. This was a big transformation from dark brown to light and modern looking.
Easy kitchen update
This kitchen was fast and easy to update because it is a small kitchen, less cabinets. And I experimented with just one color for the whole kitchen but then changed it to a lighter color on top and the darker color for the lower cabinets.
Bathroom Vanity
Starting with painting a vanity is a good idea if you have never painted before.
This is an excellent project to get confident in before you move on to more significant projects.
Here is what you will see and learn:
A good-looking kitchen makes all the difference
Starting your day in a kitchen you actually love makes a big difference.
And you don't need to hide your dated-looking kitchen when guests come over because you are so embarrassed of the look.
Show off your kitchen and tell them you did this all by yourself for a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen.
And it looks like new.
