As with any DIY project, there were challenges along the way. I made sure to spend a lot of time on preparation, sanding, priming, and repairing everything to ensure that the makeover would be durable and long-lasting.

To complete the makeover I painted the kitchen cabinets in a bold green finish that brings vibrancy and freshness to the space. With new hardware, black grout for the subway tiles, and all the finishing touches, the kitchen is completely transformed.
