Kitchen: Mid-makeover

Well I'm partially done with the kitchen makeover. I got it painted which was a pain, but I LOVE IT! The pictures just don't do it justice (doesn't everyone say that?).

I used Porter Hi-Hide paint "Silver Dollar".

BEFORE:

(Oh how I wish those countertops disappeared with the ugly paint).

I mean, it definitely could have been worse, these just aren't my kind of colors.


...I don't understand why you would let paint get all over the countertops and cabinets - I didn't do this...it already was like that)
The previous owner painted the hinges, but she didn't remove them so there's paint all over the cabinets and she only painted the part you see when you stare at it straight on. Oh well, better than bright brass. 



AFTER:
(I just put that sewing machine table in there last night - it will be painted white)

(the painters tape peeled some of the trim paint off - gonna have to fix that)


I'd say it's coming along! The chairs are primed and waiting to be painted :) 

One last time side by side...

  3. It's looking really good. I like your new paint color. I really don't think your countertops are that bad, at least as far as laminate goes. They could be a lot worse! At least they are neutral.
