I'm a kitchen cabinet designer and new cabinets are not necessary if you are not changing you foot print. Those are nice cabinets I can tell. Just clean with Crudcutter wipe down take sandpaper and scuffed them up. Take off the doors mark where they go. Prime with a foam roller. Then 2 coats should do it. You can use 220 grit between coats if you don't like the finish or buy a paint sprayer. Hand paint the frames and styles. Do not paint the insides of your cabinets or drawers but paint the backs of the doors. It's a little time consuming but it's well worth it. Measure you handle screw distance and see if you can find handles that will fit otherwise you will need to fill the whole with spackle for new handles. You are in desperate need of light. You can you small lamps on your countertop or the newer under cabinet light is easy to install also.

I really appreciate that although you work so diligently to make your kitchen lovely, that you also don’t complain in your videos about the areas that maybe aren’t how you would like them to be yet. Your focus is on using the space for making food and memories which is encouraging! The white looks nice and bright. I personally think your mixer is a timeless color that can match with almost any other colors that you use to decorate. Thanks for sharing!

I took down that wood valence over the kitchen window, and it really helped update the cabinets.

Me too!! Definitely want to keep the wood look when we replace them!!

Another inexpensive thing you can do is change out the outlets from the cream color to white. Watch a few YT videos on how to do it and it will instantly give you a elevated feel (and match your white paint) for under $15.

That is definitely something on my list. I have quite a vintage style so I thought of finding some cute gold covers maybe 😄

There are tub and white walls kits to go to Kelly's korner. She updated her double wide and painted tubs and showers and sinks. The kit she used is amazing. Contact them and see if they will sponsor you.

Just paint the cabinets using an off white. It will make a huge difference.

It looks like the kitchen is pretty dark at night. Maybe put a different light up?
@withlove_caitlinАй бұрын
Yes the plan is to put some pot lights in and I also want to put some lights under the cupboards so the counters are better lit!
