Budget - friendly kitchen makeover: BEFORE & AFTER

Orange & Orange Interior Design
6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

This is the kitchen makeover we recently completed for a client. With a budget less than 10k we completely changed the look and feel of the space by painting the existing cabinets and changing the countertops and backsplash tile. We went with a neutral color palette for a classy and timeless look, and added the pops of color with some accents.

AFTER:

    After a closer look I noticed you used almost all the colors, shades of wood, and metal finishes, and yet the look is cohesive and inspiring. Amazing this can be done with a $10,000 budget. When can you start work on my house? Lol, no, really.

    Sigh. Don’t know where my comment keeps going, but I’m gonna try one more time. I noticed you used many colors, tones of wood and types of metals, and yet the result is cohesive and inspiring. Amazing this with a $10,000 budget! Did you refinish the floor, too. When can you start at my house. Lol, no, really.

    @lulu thank you! all the colors work with each other and compliment each other, as well as the finishes - that's why the whole look is cohesive. We put all new flooring throughout the house (not included in 10k). We would be more than happy to work with you!

    Beatuful!!! Price is also very good! So 10K for counter cabinets and backsplash-please come to Seattle! I see crown molding, baseboard trim, flooring, painting, sink and faucet are changed too which contributes very nicely to the whole design

    @nancy_nickoley Thank you! Drift of Mist is a beautiful color - we've used regular white for the trim.

    You mentioned a regular white was used for the trim - would that be like a SW Extra White?

    What a quality job done on the cabinets, I really enjoy seeing what folks to do refresh cabinets rather than rip out and put in new. Thanks for the inspo, assuming these were professionally spray painted, what type of finish, I know folks caution against just standard interior paint for cabinets, thanks for any advice!

    Quick question as i have similar cabinets and would like to make them lighter. when you painted them white, have any cracks or imperfections become obviously visible? my cabinets have pieces that join on the doors and the seams im worried will show over time.
