Inspired Idea:
Stock cabinets gone custom.
Aug 18, 2009
You know those cabinets? The ones that every builder puts in every house? Yeah, these:
People complain about them. "They're so boring." "They're too country-looking for me." "They're too dark." "I see them everywhere." Well, my friends Theresa and Steve actually did something about it, and the results changed the whole feel of their kitchen.
Painting cabinets white is a pretty standard solution, but they added a unique touch in keeping with the modern aesthetic of the rest of their house by painting the center panel metallic silver. It's a nice, lustery sheen, and with the subtle grain of the brushstrokes it reads as stainless steel. Then they replaced the antique brass hardware with brushed steel. Nice work, guys! Thanks for sharing. —Diane
