It's been 7 years since I gave my kitchen that large renovation where I got rid of the golden oak cabinets, added some moldings, a range hood in addition to gave the kitchen island a novel look. And it's been a actually overnice performance kitchen in addition to the most of import room inwards our house.
However, equally amongst most things, the passing of fourth dimension in addition to proficient utilisation bring lay a grade on it.
So, I decided this was a perfect fourth dimension to give it a refresh. I'm non going to alter whatever of the layout. The alter is going to come upward amongst paint, novel hardware in addition to maybe novel lighting fixtures.

I endeavor to give the kitchen 2 large cleanings a year. One during the Summer in addition to the other correct earlier the holidays. This twelvemonth I took a long Summer opor-garai in addition to when I came dorsum home, the kitchen was a disaster. I didn't build clean it correct away, I knew I had to exercise something big. So, I finished other pending projects in addition to equally shortly equally September arrived I started to emptying it up.
That movie inwards a higher identify was taking when I was almost done removing everything from the cabinets in addition to removing the doors. The entirely thing that I kept within nether the sink was the large bottle of soap, I didn't desire to disconnect the tube, I dearest how that big container of lather in addition to metro piece of job together.
Now, retrieve I had problem amongst the stove knobs breaking? Well, they sent me novel knobs in addition to equally y'all tin encounter entirely 1 remains inwards place, all the others broke too. Good thing they sent me 2 extra sets, I assume they're going to final a year, later that I demand to teach rid of this stove. :/
Well oh well, this is equally yucky equally y'all tin see. After all, that's the cabinet in addition to door that host the trash can. The correct movie is the plate rack, it's difficult to build clean inwards betwixt those dowels, or so, that's the excuse I give myself, because I tin disassemble that plate rack in addition to lay it dorsum together inwards a affair of minutes.
As I said, the kitchen was dirty, those scratches on the doors in addition to some of the shelves bothered me, in addition to the pigment handling started to hold off sad.

The keen thing virtually this wallpaper is that y'all tin take it easily equally y'all tin see. Add some H2O amongst a sponge in addition to tegument it off. Add some to a greater extent than H2O in addition to y'all tin scrape all that goo on the surface.
This is the pic I got later the wallpaper was removed, in addition to at that really minute my focus went to that lower cut back molding the arrows are pointing at.
They were giving the hood a to a greater extent than traditional look, but I wanted to alter them. So, off they went. :)

So, I grabbed what was left of my Rust-Oleum charcoal in addition to linen white chalked paint, mixed them and...
Discovered it was a beautiful color, but it was means likewise night for my liking.
It got sanded. chalk pigment is thus rough! And I went to purchase a novel grey.
The novel color: BM Galveston Gray - So much better, lighter!
Oh, in addition to the cabinets got painted BM White Dove - Look at the difference. That Navajo White looks thus yellowish compared to the White Dove!
The isle was also getting ready for a pigment treatment. I loved the ASCP Duck Egg Blue but I was ready for some change. I didn't know y'all teach rid of wax amongst Mineral Spirits. It was really easy, y'all choose grip of a fine steel wool sponge soak it inwards mineral spirits in addition to rub the slice of slice of furniture amongst it, wiping it off amongst a rag.
Oh well, all this is lots of exertion work! The cleaning, the patching, the sanding in addition to painting... And then, repeat in addition to repeat... At the cease of each solar daytime I was exhausted in addition to didn't fifty-fifty desire to choose grip of my phone!
