Turn That Old Kitchen Into New
Do it yourself with paint to create a modern kitchen. Choose washable glass or semi gloss enamels for walls and glossy surfaces, flat ceilings to cut glare, and prepare by cleaning, patching, and removing hardware before painting. Apply colors in stages if gloss differs, roughen very glossy surfaces, and consider enamel for drawers and shelves for easier upkeep.
