Kitchen Before and After pics from petit hiboux
I rather like the buttery yellow cabinet color myself, but petit hiboux is right that color just doesn’t go with the newer bright colors in the other rooms.
In the after shot – the cabinets have been painted white, the copper-colored hinges have been stripped back to the underlying pewter color, and the walls are bright blue. All good, but now the harvest gold fridge sticks out like a sore thumb and it’s hard to know what you could do with the spotty tile. Tile over it would probably be the best bet, if it’s solidly attached to the wall.

Kitchen Cabinet Makeover examples
I’ve been wandering through the many kitchen makeover videos online, looking at what other people have done to their existing kitchen cabinets, since I don’t plan on ripping my perfectly serviceable (if ugly) cabinets out.
The kitchen cabinets in this video are very similar to mine – face frames with flat slab doors. These people painted the frames black, then glued pale birch veneer onto the door fronts and varnished. Looks great, though I would probably go with a light color for the frames instead of black. They also did a lot of other work but left some old countertops in place. Given that counters are one of the simplest things to change, that seems a bit odd, but maybe they have Stage II in mind!
Next, a low budget makeover on a kitchen that was really pretty good to start with. They changed the wall color from dark green to a light color, changed the faucet and the light fixtures, and the cabinet pulls, and bingo – what a difference!
Finally… well, to me, this is a “what not to do” makeover. Bright red floor, bright red door centers on white cabinets, bright red tabletop, and far, far too much fruity wallpaper. The final straw is the ugliest chandelier in the world over the sink. I wonder how long the homeowners kept it like this?
I’ll just have to remember to take video of mine when the time comes, eh. Still working on the bathroom right now though, sanding drywall mud <cough>.
