Are you looking for some kitchen makeover ideas? This kitchen has had three unbelievable makeovers. This is my daughter’s house when she first moved in.
I re-did her kitchen 3 times. Every 3-4 years she decides she wants a new look. Lucky for her I’m in the faux finish business and the loving Mom that I am I can’t say no.
Although it drives her husband crazy she’s happy to have a new kitchen every few years. Each transformation was created with just paint and a little creativity. If you’re looking for some Kitchen makeover ideas read on. You will be amazed at how one kitchen can look completely different with a little paint.
This is the first transformation! These cabinets were in desperate need of a change. Replacing them was not an option. This was their first home and as a newly married couple that was not in the budget. As a professional Faux Finisher, I knew there were many options to make this kitchen look beautiful and functional.
The cabinets were in good condition they were just a little outdated, well maybe a lot outdated. I painted the countertop tops to resemble granite and they looked amazing. (and yes you can paint your countertops)
#1 Kitchen Makeover
The cabinets were painted white and I even painted the hardware to complete the fresh new look, plus it saved us $250 versus replacing them. All the walls were faux-finished in a brick breakaway to give the kitchen a warm Tuscan feel.
#2 Kitchen Makeover
The second transformation! About three years later she decided she wanted to go a little more contemporary. As you can see the cabinets were wood-grained and the hardware was changed a bit.
I filled in one of the holes on the knobs and bought single nickel-plated knobs at Home Depot and kept the hinges. The countertops stayed the same and the walls were painted a soft yellow tone. I can’t believe it’s the same kitchen.
#3 Kitchen Makeover
The Third Transformation! I hope this is the last, seriously! I told my daughter every time she paints this kitchen she’s losing square footage.
When she decided to go with a coastal-looking look, I thought her husband was going to lose it.
As you can see I repainted the cabinets back to white UGH! and also repainted the countertop in gray and white granite. The walls of course were painted once again in a beige color. They also laid tile floors that looked like wood to complete the upgrade.
