Do you have any ideas for hiding a wall of mirrors in a rental?
Moving into a rental that has a dining room with 80's style mirror wall. How can I hide it or make it look modern?
I am not sure what you mean by wood across the top, but my husband and I updated our kitchen cabinets and the space above by adding trim and then repainting the entire area with trim paint. I think one of the biggest things that dates cabinetry is the short cabinet doors. Painting everything in trim paint gives the illusion of the cabinet being taller. Our cabinets were solid wood and I couldn't see replacing them with something inferior. I'm not sure if this answers your specific problem. Maybe you can post a picture?
Start with picking a paint you can wash(high-gloss). Wash the cabinets with Murphy's oil soap, this will get the oil and gunk off the wood. Remove the hardware, and a few doors. Paint the doors on a flat surface, to avoid streaks and blobs. 2 coats will do it, dry completely between each coat. The other thing you can do is wash with Murphy's oil soap, and dry completely. Then use either Wilbert's lemon oil on the cabinets, and buff to a nice shine. There's also a product called Rejuvenate, which brings back the luster, and looks professional.
