This is the kitchen from the house we featured last month. New wood floors made the most significant impact. We also painted the cabinets, added granite countertops and painted the walls a much warmer color.
February 2012 Featured Before and After
Thanks for sharing all your rooms. I’m like you, transitioning a darker color scheme to light and bright! When we renovated (built in a garage) a couple of years ago we replaced our oak cabinets for white in the kitchen, added beadboard a few places and painted most of our wood trim, repainted our walls, etc. We’re not DIY so we hired someone to do most of it. Now, I love my home!! I still have a few more projects. I’m actually repainting my dining room this week because I just didn’t love the color we picked before because my husband didn’t get the whole white thing. Now my dining room will be closer to what I envisioned. I just have to figure out what to do with my chandelier which I still love but has shiny brass. Blach! Have you spray painted a light before? Any recommendations?
Absolutely, you can spray a light fixture. Just make sure to remove any glass pieces, shove wads of papertowel or tape into the bulb sockets and cover the surfaces below the chandelier. I love the Rustoleum Textured Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint….it comes in a little taller can with a spray trigger. Depending on the style of your fixture, new shades can update it as well! Please post some before and after pictures once you’re done!
