My friend became a single mom and moved to an apt. 7 yrs ago. She did the same as you with the kitchen, put in a faux mantel and hung a chandelier in the dining area and painted throughout. She's still there and still happy with the home she made for herself and her daughter. I'm a member now because I like your attitude! ~ MaureenMaureen Wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717877610585066150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541992633515264918.post-21107667739818020882012-01-10T08:23:24.004-08:002012-01-10T08:23:24.004-08:00Thanks for coming to my blog!

Second, isn't it amazing what a little paint will do? It looks sooooooooo much better! We moved into a similar looking kitchen in our home, and my husband painted the cabinets white and added nickle hardware and the change literally brightened my spirits every time I walk into it. I love what you've done so far, and the little peek into the rest of your home looks wonderful!High Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897779987162998446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541992633515264918.post-83721695005903857622012-01-05T07:59:32.295-08:002012-01-05T07:59:32.295-08:00thanks ladies.

And I have lovely landlords who are happy to allow me to fix it up. I never thought about the countertops blending with the stools and the baskets but that is a good point. I will repost in Feb as soon as I get the pendants up. have a great day and thanks for taking the time to stop by and give me some feedback.<br /><br />xosummersoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431646851740587655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541992633515264918.post-27746136134200058812012-01-05T07:08:34.619-08:002012-01-05T07:08:34.619-08:00Oh...Michele...I am amazed.

You are fortunate that your landlord will allow you to paint the cabinets. However, it is your landlord that is most fortunate to have you as a renter! You are taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary!

My 'big' project for 2012 is to finally paint our kitchen oak cabinets white. Your transformation is amazing!!!! what a difference it makes. And you know what? as much as I can see why you don't like your tile counter tops they look so much better with the white cabinets and pale blue/grey walls. They actually blend well with the grass weaved stools and wicker baskets. I think I would choose to just live with them. You can always place some nice long white platters or such to cover them up a bit more. I LOVE those pendant lights. Oh my goodness they are like 'sweeter than candy'! I believe I will even try the white paint you used...see if it goes in our cottage. And you know what else...I do not think you are crazy to do all this to a rental. We have always transformed our rentals as if we owned them too. It is not a waste. Our world would be a more beautiful place if everyone took care of their homes whether they own or rent. We are planning on getting the farmhouse sink from Ikea one day. You may want to look into them as well. They are more affordable than most. oxSeawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541992633515264918.post-49196051382582982072012-01-04T20:34:00.144-08:002012-01-04T20:34:00.144-08:00LOVE LOVE LOVE the changes so far!! :) Wow such a ...LOVE LOVE LOVE the changes so far!! :) Wow such a difference Michele~ I cant wait to see it with the new lights~ xoxo RachelRachel Noelle Pallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649123927536628540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541992633515264918.post-87586006316995205052012-01-04T20:10:13.162-08:002012-01-04T20:10:13.162-08:00Wow!
