Light
green high-gloss enamel paint on old, dinged-up cabinet
doors refreshes the look of an older kitchen. (The paint
color was inspired by vintage Jadeite.) Dated hardware was
swapped for brushed-nickel knobs and hinges.
Creamy
white paint on formerly dark cabinets makes this kitchen
feel larger. The existing island was painted a darker shade
of green than the walls to help it stand out. Faux
wrought-iron knobs tie the updated cabinets in with the
black light fixture/pot rack.
Oak
cabinets go from uninteresting to eye-catching with
Arts-and-Crafts-style stenciling on center panels. Rugged
metal hardware enhances the handcrafted look.

homey look of heirloom furniture with home center products.
Bun feet, a beaded-board backsplash, and an arched fascia
below the upper cabinet create the look of freestanding
furniture. Painting the "hutch" ivory and the sink cabinet
black helps the masquerade.
Two
layers of paint transform plain wood cabinets: a red latex
base coat and a top coat of oil-base paint (black and raw
umber) mixed with oil-base glazing liquid and paint thinner.
Basket-style metal hardware suits the decorative paint
finish.
Painting
old cabinets crisp white (plus polishing existing hardware)
saves them for another decade of use. Repeating the
backsplash's beaded board on a new island gives everything
the same old-time flavor.
