Kitchen Makeover!

Since I don't own a home and I rent an apartment I live vicariously

through my friends when it comes to home improvement projects.

So, when my friend Amanda e-mailed me over the weekend with a

few pictures of the work in progress on their kitchen makeover I immediately

told her to PLEASE send me more!!!!! She of course obliged :)

So here are a few before pictures...

And here is the after...

Why hello there you gorgeous gray!
And buenos dias you crisp white back-splash!

What's that? A terracotta color on the walls? I die.

Here are the changes that were made:

• Fresh coat of paint on the walls and the cabinets
• Reglazed back-splash, sink and countertops
• Spray painted hinges
• New handles/knobs

Okay, I need to see some more pictures of this delicious makeover...

Here are the paint colors:

• Wall color = Valspar Florentine Clay
• Cabinet color = Valspar Semi Sweet
• Cabinet paint = Behr "Porch & Floor"
• Spray painted hinges = Rustoleum's Hammered Dark Bronze

Total cost of the makeover?

Under $500!

I think it looks absolutely amazing! And I love those color together!

What do you guys think?

P.S. - I have to tell you what Amanda said in her initial

e-mail to me about her kitchen...Her words exactly were:

"So, since I don't have a blog, I'm just sending YOU my before and afters!

After all, this is all your fault ;) That owl of yours has created a monster in me..."

I thought y'all would get a kick out of that!

Happy Wednesday y'all! :)
