Galley Kitchen Gets a Fresh Makeover
by

This was the kitchen in the 1950's rancher that we bought a couple years ago. We bought it from my parents, who had owned it as a rental property for 30 years; they didn't live in it until 2010, when they moved in for a year while they built their new house. We moved into it and bought it shortly after.
The original colors of the counter top were orange and the cupboards were yellow. My mom painted it to this: yellow walls, green counter top and backsplash, and white cupboards.

Before
Our kitchen today is grey and white with aqua as an accent color. I repainted the cupboards (which after a few years were dirty and chipped and awful) with the rustoleum restoration pain kit, in the color Linen. I replaced all the old gross hinges with shiny new ones, and swapped out the knobs on the cupboard doors for handles.
Painted the backsplash, and countertop.
Before I painted the hutch
I refinished this hutch to match the kitchen and filled it with white pottery and things
Crazy what a bit of paint can do!
