My White & Aqua Kitchen

 

Finally, I’m getting around to posting my kitchen makeover! A few weeks ago I spent nearly a week redoing my kitchen and I’ve been so busy with other things lately that I haven’t gotten around to sharing this makeover with you. I better get this posted before I redo it again! Surprised smile Just kidding!

So far I really, really like my kitchen. I have a wall that needs a little work sometime in the future, but otherwise it’s pretty well complete.

Here’s how it looked before along with what I wanted to do in the makeover…

About the only thing I didn’t paint was the cabinets. I still like the tan color and thought it goes well enough with white and aqua.

Years ago I picked up yards of this fabric at a discounted price and I was really tickled when I saw how well it goes with my kitchen.

I picked up a roll of automotive carpeting for $4.25 at a local fabric outlet store and painted this design on it.

I printed off a design I liked from online and cut my own stencil. I used cardstock to make the stencil. I went through three of them since the paper would start to tear when it was soaked in paint.

I added a fabric medium to white paint to apply.

Love the freshness of white!

I really thought of taking some white and aqua paint to the table & chairs… who knows, maybe one of these days…

Thanks for visiting!
