Kitchen Makeover

We have a pretty good-sized kitchen in our house, but it wasn't that attractive and it felt a little dark. It was mostly the fault of the cabinets, which were a dark wood color and without hardware. The white tile floors and counters aren't ideal either but a kitchen remodel is far down the list of things to do.

We decided to at least paint the kitchen to see if that made a difference and what a difference it made. We painted the walls and all the cabinets and now it feels so much brighter. We even removed one of the upper cabinets in front of the sink, which was also a big improvement; it made being at the sink feel a lot less enclosed. Finally, we added hardware to all the cabinet doors and drawers and I even spray painted all the existing hinges to match.

It took us about three weeks but it was worth it. It's so much more enjoyable to be in the kitchen now and we had it ready just in time for Thanksgiving.
