  • Wow, that's a big kitchen!  It's going to look great once it's all done!
  • Looks awesome!  Great job :)  How did you find that spray paint work for the hinges?  In our new house all of the hinges are brass and I was going to replace them, but I didnt know spray paint was an option.  What brand did you use?

  • 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!

    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!

  • It looks so refreshed with white cabinets!  I love white cabinets- I hope to find a house with them- or at least an easy cabinet to paint white :)

    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)

  • 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?
