That looks really good! The yellow on the walls looks like a completely different color, it pops so much more now.
You guys are doing a great job!

The kitchen already looks so much brighter. It's a lot of work, but it will be so worth it!
We used the Rustoleum universal metallic one. I LOVED it. Went on smoothly and no issues. You can even spraypaint brass faucets with it! I needed one can for all the hinges you see in the pic here:
Thanks! We are going to be changing the paint color to a blue - since it opens up to our living room we wanted it to be in the same color family to help it's flow.

It looks so good!
I did the same exact thing to my cabinets and even painted my walls from yellow to blue as well!

Behr Russian Blue (i literally ran down stairs to check the paint can haha)
I love love love it... i had seen a picture in Real Simple of a blue kitchen with white cabinets and black granite countertops with steal appliances. I showed DH the pic and was like I have to make this happen. (haven't gotten my countertops yet... yet)
Looks great! Can't wait to see it done!
I love before and after pics!
Looks really good!

Wow! It's looking great so far. My cabinets look like they might be similar. I thought about painting them, but then someone told me that I could have an issue with covering the grain (i.e., that the indent of the grain could still be evident). Are you having any issues with this?
