A Kitchen Makeover,
Pulled Together with Paint
Pulled Together with Paint
Warm colors and stainless steel appliances spiff up a ho-hum kitchen
The
kitchen in Linda’s clients’ old Victorian home was perfectly
functional. It was large enough for two avid cooks to work side by side,
with a center island and separate peninsula, two sinks, yards of solid
granite countertops, plenty of storage space, and loads of light from
the skylights overhead. Still, after eight years in their house, they
wanted a change. A new look that would be a more suitable backdrop to
the fabulous meals and lively entertaining that are so much a part of
their lives.
The footprint or layout didn’t need to be changed, so there was no major construction to worry about, and the clients had just purchased new stainless steel appliances to replace their old white ones. The existing granite countertops were in excellent condition, but the standard-issue white cabinets needed some serious rehab work. Linda’s challenge was to bring all the elements together, and that meant upgrading the funky old cabinets with a lot of paint and a touch of pizzazz.
