They said paint the cabinets and the ceilings. Instead I did this!

To all those that said DO NOT paint the kitchen cabinets, THANK YOU! See thread thread below for before pix. Instead of trying to update my 80s home into a modern white kitchen home, I embraced its vintage vibe. The inspiration came from a set of Eames chairs I found on Marketplace for $50 each! I striped and restored them to their glorious soft orange. Then I brought one to Sherman Williams and matched with a can of Knockout Orange paint; cost $28! I went from colonial granny to shagadellic for under $2k, plus the counters which were $9k. Floors are next. Thinking slate plank LVF in the kitchen (to play off Organic Concrete counters) and a dark neutral area rug under couch or go LVF throughout, although wall-to-wall seems to go with the style. I am sure I’m breaking a bunch of design rules, but I love it! I call it “Contemporary Brady (Bunch)” 🤣

AFTER. Flooring is next on the list!



BEFORE kitchen.



$200 for Herman Miller chairs!



Restored under all that gunk!










Haven't painted this wall yet. Photoshopped to see if I like. Thoughts?











Scored this original ratan 60s coffee table for $100! Wayfair couch and chair in back.











Call it a day!
