My Kitchen Redo
by
Jean M
(IC: homeowner)
I removed the wallpaper from my kitchen wall, and repainted the wall, added a chair rail, and the cabinets, upper and lower. I've decided that if the cabinets ever need that work again, I'm getting new cabinets installed instead (LOL) and I'm still not finished yet. I've got to get the pegboard that I bought painted and installed over the stove area.
Enjoyed the project?

Diana Deiley on Feb 23, 2016Great job! The hardware stores might have corner pieces that you can use instead of mitering, if that helps.

Grandmama16 on Sep 25, 2016Oh, here it is '16 and I finally see a kitchen that's like mine....the white upper, before, cabinets are exactly like mine and I don't know what to do with them. They have no interesting levels, just flat, but are real wood. I'm considering using chalk paint and trying to fill in the area above the cabinets. I need it to be easy as possible. We're in our 70's and hubby has Parkinsons and I have Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, diabetes and other minor things but after taking meds I'll feel like trying a project. I'd like to redo the small dining area....would have to tear off wallpaper, like you, and squares of mirrors but haven't decided how to re-do. We have a window but I think chair rail would work. I also need to re_do hallway....might use chalk paint above the chair rail wallpaper. It's plain blue and a mistake. I really like wallpaper but it's so hard and we have little money. We even wallpapered the slanted ceilings in hall and dining area but hubby hates it. I need ideas and advice. We did our dining/kitchen floor a few years ago with peel and stick. Worked OK if you don't look closely. He put a piece of new carpet in middle of kitchen. I don't like it but......We would love love love to enlarge the kitchen so that it'd be easier for kids and their families to visit. Somehow we raised 7 kids like it is and to enlarge would cut off the carport. '60's houses are the pits. Due to rules we couldn't enlarge more than 5' out to the front so that would not help much and then where to put steps...more rules. So, we're back to maybe doing little things. We've never even gotten the basement done well so it's laundry and storage. ....lots of stuff. It'll stay until youngest son moves out. M.A.
