Kitchen Paint Makeovers

For the cost of a few gallons of paint and primer, you can change the look of nearly every surface in the kitchen, from floors and walls to cabinets and backsplashes.

Kitchen Painting Ideas

Set a stylish tone with stripes on the wall. With low contrast between the colors and a narrow width for the stripes, the treatment adds depth and interest to the walls but doesn't compete with the fabrics and collections.

As a counterpoint to the stripes, treat unfinished wood cabinets with a wash of diluted paint to let the grain of the wood show through. Thin latex paint with water and rub on with clean rags. Top with water-base varnish to make the cabinets easy to clean.

I enjoy all the slide shows but would like to see one more, decorating and designing studio and loft apartments. I'm moving to a 400 sq. foot studio and would like to see some suggestions.
