"Tiles and cabinet paint made the biggest difference in the kitchen, which "before was very stuck in 2007," Kasey describes. "The cabinets were the classic orange oak color, and the walls were a dark beige color. It felt like a nice space, but just very dated." Kasey liked the granite countertops and the crown molding in the space, but she knew about $600 worth of DIY projects could vastly improve the kitchen."
""Painting the cabinets made the biggest difference in this space," Kasey says. "It really made it look like it wasn't built in '07!" She painted the cabinets inside and out in a warm beige, Magnolia's Embossed Leather. Kasey's cabinet painting advice is to clean and scuff sand every surface, invest in liquid sandpaper for harder-to-reach areas in need of sanding, and make sure to buy the correct paint and sheen of paint. "My cabinets have held up perfectly," she says."
A dated kitchen with orange oak cabinets and dark beige walls was refreshed affordably by painting cabinets and installing real tile with grout. Granite countertops and crown molding were retained while about $600 of DIY work updated the space. Cabinets were painted inside and out in a warm beige (Magnolia's Embossed Leather) after cleaning and scuff-sanding; liquid sandpaper was used for hard-to-reach areas and the correct paint and sheen were selected. Sample tiles and paint swatches informed color choices. Neutral colors were chosen based on personal preference rather than resale considerations.
