Wooden ceiling stays as does the window treatment
Should I paint or cover the trim with vinyl?

I just replaced my 30 year old fridge, stove & DW. The old fake oak trim is just so dated. I covered the trim over the hood & the cabinet next to it with matte black vinyl.I think once it all done it will look ok.If painted spray or brush, after tsp cleaning, prime or no prime.I'd have to hire someone to help me detach & reattach it going the spray route.Thanks in advance
Hi Diane, you can definitely paint. The best way would be to clean with tsp. Remove all drawers and doors. Two coats of primer. Two coats of paint. Two coats of sealant. Time consuming but very doable!
I think the black you covered the oak up with is definitely an improvement!
Hi, you sure can paint! If you'd like to paint without removing the doors you can use chalk paint. Annie Sloan or Jolie would be the best! :)

Painting the cabinets all once color will instantly modernize the cabinets. I would also add hardware.
Painting the cabinets and replacing the hardware would be a quick and easy update.
