The Garden Frog with C Renee on Dec 21, 2013I would like to add that if you are updating your kitchen, you should really think about updating your refrigerator. Today's models are so much more efficient than ones of yesteryear. Plus if you shop at many stores and watch for closeouts or scratch and dent models you can really get a good deal. I once bought a Samsung stainless steel frig at Lowe's for $400 reg $1200 because it was year end, and it had a dent on the side. I do not shop scratch and dent stores because I find there deals are no better than the stores. Lowe's and Home Depot close out year end and right now thru about Feb there will be a lot of sales. I just had to add this optionHelpful Reply

Retro Steam Works on Dec 22, 2013You can paint it with regular latex paint. First you need to sand it to loose the gloss finish, to do this use a very fine sandpaper, a 600 and up wet or dry works best, it needs to be very fine to avoid scratches. Then apply two or three coats of paint with a little roller, this needs to be done with a smooth finish type of roller. Allow paint to dry between coats, finally when the paint is completely dry, sand with a 1000 and up sandpaper to eliminate possible roller marks, then you could polish it it with a non abrasive compound to make it look glossy.Helpful Reply

Tammy West on Dec 22, 2013YOU COULD CHALKBOARD PAINT IT WHICH IS FUN COOL AND SIMPLE, OR YOU CAN LOOK UP DIY PROJECTS TO CUSOMIZE IT TO LOOK LIKE WOOD CABINETS.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL, CHEAP, AND I GET TONS OF COMPLIMENTS. HOPE THIS HELPS INSPIRE YOU.Helpful Reply

Jill on Dec 22, 2013You can find appliance paint in spray cans at most hardware stores. This paint is formulated just for this, so it won't flake or peel off and if you decide to paint your stove, it's heat resistant. The only problem we had was the gaskets. They did not take well to any paint and flaked over time. To replace the ones on our french door refrigerator was just too expensive to do though, but if you have a less expensive refrigerator it is well worth just replacing them as over time they have issues anyway.Helpful Reply
