Kitchen Makeover #7


Stuff in the Kitchen
This red vase used to be blue. Two years ago I painted it red. It fits well in the kitchen. I got it at a resale show for $4.
This is a simple grape vine wreath. I added artificial foliage.

I got this cream colored vase at a resale shop for $3

This is stuff on top of the refrigerator.

Cake platter $10, Apples $1 ea, white jug from resale shop $4

Foliage on counter. Tea jar from resale shop $2.99

Rabbit, valentines day gift from hubby. Egg $1 from dollar store.

Lamp, $6 from resale shop.

My hubby made the black table for our bedroom, but I found that it works perfect in this space at the end of the counter.

Great space for baskets. I used them when I buy fruit to put on the counters. In the summer these baskets are great for veggies from our garden.

I re finished the seat of these chairs in a french toile material.

Kitchen Makeover #6

Crown Molding
I used wax paper taped behind the molding so no paint would show up on the white walls. We were sure if we even wanted to do the crown molding. Afterwards I was so glad that we did.
This is before the primer and paint.

Kitchen Makeover #5

This is the hardware on the cabinets. They are the original ones from when we moved in the house. To save money I decided not to change them. I thought they looked OK.
This is bead board that we already had left over in the garage from a previous bathroom project. I primed and painted on 2 coats.

Bead board painted. I used an old plastic tablecloth underneath to catch the paint.

This is a view of the bead board on the side of the cabinet.
