I got a wild hair last Thursday afternoon to just quick repaint the master bath cabinets. As I lighten up my house I feel like every single room is too dark. This bathroom included. So, it took a couple of hours...quick paint, let dry, keep the kids out of everything, paint, dry, don't let Gus touch the cabinets, and final coat of paint.
Fortunately the oops paint I picked up was a quick dry paint! And when you do several very thin layers, it dries quickly.
These are the cabinets before any paint, last year about this time. I added the beadboard wallpaper to the fronts of the doors.
Here are the classy black cabinets after:
They look nice, but just really dark...Especially with dark blue/gray walls.
Here they are this morning. I grabbed a bunch of new pulls from my stash in the garage.
Much brighter and happier. Please ignore my shaky hands and non-image stabilizer lens.
So, for zero dollars, I updated my bathroom to bright and cheery!
Gotta love a quick change!
Nice change - I am actually thinking about doing the same thing! Did you have to sand them down first?
ReplyDeleteSo light and bright! I love them. You know I love black painted things, but I think this room called for a lighter shade. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just used the beadboard wallpaper in my kitchen as well. Your bathroom cabinets look great!
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the beadboard wallpaper! They look great painted white. Good job!
