Remember that great feature from the old Domino magazine?
Well this favorite shirt was this inspiration for my kitchen makeover.
Here is a before shot: It's a little cold and disjointed looking.
Here is half way: Already the cupboards look better. I used Dutch Boy Refresh Paint in "Beach House Brown."
Painting the "Little House on the Prarie" pipe was Cliff's suggestion-best idea ever!
Here I am mixing paint with an old curtain rod. You can see here how damaged the cupboards really were. Fortunately, I had no idea how much work it is to paint cupboards or I wouldn't have done it. The paint for the cupboards was white semi gloss left over from the professional painting the kitchen had before we moved in.
(Drum roll please.) The Reveal:
More pictures and more details to come tomorrow!

Ya'll rent right? If so your landlord needs to lower your rent for all that hard work. It looks great!
From your mouth to God's ears D-L! Thanks! Actually, I was happy to do it because when they paint rentals they don't take the hinges off and they do such a poor job. I will say this, after all this work- I never want to move again!
It looks great! Painting cabinets is awful but it really does make a huge difference. Can't wait to see more pics!

This looks fantastic! I can't believe the difference between the before and after pictures!
That is incredible. I'm glad you are able to really put your touches on this new-to-you apartment.
I'm also reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally glad you're back!
Missed your creative take on the world.
Looks great Jane!
Wow Jane, that's quite a makeover! It looks so modern and sleek now. You'd never know it's a rental apartment. Love the wall color.
