Remember when I told you about my recent project overlap? Well…both are done. Yes, I am a certified Project Finisher. {I think we should have T-shirts made for all of us who are…} Today I’m showing off my beautiful built-in cabinets. Last week I painted the inside of the cabinets a lovely, poppy teal. I love the added color!
You may know that I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to bold color. Inside my house I tend to stick with white, white and more white. Only off set by light subtle neutrals. But this is my summer of adventure, so I went bold. The inside of cabinets is the perfect place for a bold touch. It’s a small space and since it’s enclosed the darkness will help tone it down a bit.
Getting the job done was pretty easy. I primed with the best primer ever: Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Zinsser. You can read my rave about it here. Then I painted. To be honest, the toughest, most time consuming part was taping off all the glass. Remember to use these tips if you take a project like this on yourself.
Now, you wanna know something awesome? Who am I kidding? Of course you do. I painted all the color using only a sample carton from Sherwin-Williams. Which means this makeover only cost me $6!! {Since I had tape and primer on hand.}
If you love the color…it’s SW’s “Intense Teal.”
Now, you really want to see a change? Let’s compare the way the dining room looked when we first moved in….and the way it looks now. It’s so extreme! I simply love it.
Tomorrow I’ll show you how my chair turned out!
