KITCHENS: CABINETS & ISLANDS

Please, click on photo to enlarge. 

Kitchens can be transformed from what you have into what you want with paint and glaze. It never fails to amaze us. Here are a few transformations. Most of these kitchens started out with stark white walls and cabinets with little appeal.

This kitchen island was a left-over cabinet from a remodel. We added a granite top, corbels, put it on rollers, and added a crackle finish. Now, it has a new life.

In this kitchen, the home owner had the top middle panels of her cabinets removed and replaced with antique glass. The cabinets were painted and stenciled for a pretty update.

If you like Country French design, you will fall in love with this kitchen. Composition and moldings were added; then, the cabinets were painted and glazed in a pretty sage green color.

Remember the Mediterranean theme for kitchens? Well, it is still popular; and if done right, it can be everlasting. The home owner started with plain white cabinets. With the addition of crown molding on the cabinets and a little paint, glaze, and faux brick, one might feel the urge to plant an olive tree.

Sometimes just having a kitchen island finished can add a statement to a kitchen.
