Modern Cottage​

Dramatic Kitchen Make-over 

​Before and After: Paint it white with open shelving
 

So I bought a house with a  "plain-jane"  Kitchen which was dark and depressing. The Refrigerator stuck out into the kitchen like a sore thumb and then there was that horrible Formica counter top. 
After Open Kitchen

Create art within ​your Kitchen with nothing but paint!

Before Kitchen
 Before 
 The bottom cabinets had 1985 etched doors, very common then, but not great now, even with paint it looked yuk. So I upgraded them with very low cost plain flat 3" pine trim, added new knobs and painted over everything with a satin white. The Formica counter top was a challenge, due to budgetary restraints I could not replace it so I decided to paint a marble texture over the Formica then added trim to the flat sides, ta da, done!  Oh, wait,  I also built a small desk were the refrigerator was to add a point of interest.
​As usual I went to Lowe's for everything, they happen to have a great deal on paint, trim and knobs for my project.
