I'm back with another home improvement project. This time we decided to redo the laundry room cabinets. I decided to do those before the kitchen because I want a lighter finish with glaze and I want to make sure we like it before I start the kitchen. It is easier to change a few cabinets in the laundry room than a whole kitchen.
Once again I used the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations kit. I can not even begin to say how much I love this product. So far my bathrooms are holding up beautifully.
Here is the laundry room cabinets before:
There is nothing terrible with them. We just do not really care for the golden oak. And when I show you a picture of the kitchen, you will be able to see that the cabinets do not go with the granite countertops.
A closeup of the cabinets. They are just plain ol' oak cabinets.
And now the after:
This time I used a light kit rather than the dark I used in the bathrooms. I used the Pure White with a glaze. I had never done a glaze before, but I am happy with how it turned out. We still need to paint the room and someday I want to replace the hideous utility sink that is in there. You can't really see the sink in these pictures, but trust me that it is UGLY!
I think the cabinets will look much better when we get a different color on the walls.
Chris added the new hardware to the doors. It is from Ikea. I love having hardware! I was always opening the doors from the wrong side.
Now that we know the laundry room turned out okay we will begin to tackle the biggest project yet:
The Kitchen! I think the distressed white cabinets will blend much better with the granite. We will be changing the green wall paint too. And I would love new flooring! (But I don't know about that yet.)
My goal is to have this done by Christmas. Wish me luck!!!!
Thanks for visiting me!
