Wow! I love how creative it was to flip the doors and what a difference it made! And I would've never thought of doing the hutch in a different color but it looks great. I have the same problem with picking paint colors but I'm usually too lazy to repaint them unless I just truly hate it. I painted my lower kitchen cabinets green and they turned out darker than the soft gray/green I was aiming for. My husband said they looked like they were army green so I just saluted them and called it a day! ;)

Last minute, I decided to wood fill the cabinet doors and I’m regretting it hardcore😭 but I’m determined to finishing sanding them down today and getting my first coat of primer on with my sprayer! I kid you not I’ve been working on these doors for 50 hours and I’m just holding my breath that it’s worth it😅

I remember wanting to do the exact same thing many years ago in a different house! My husband said, no you can’t do that! And I didn’t know the first thing about it Soo was like oh ok.

I have light wood shaker style cabinets and they are 17 years old. I’ve been wanting to paint them for a while but am worried what if I hate the paint and wish I kept the natural wood? Also how did you paint them without seeing brush strokes or roller marks? Your kitchen looks amazing!

@KelseyRomitoDIY

I would paint a poster board in the color you like and hang it up over a cabinet for a little while to see if you like having the color there all the time. I use foam rollers on cabinets so you don’t see brush strokes.

Way way too much white! Why didn't you add black knobs in the kitchen with the white cabinets like you did with the book shelves. You could have restained your new glass cabinet with a pretty wood stain and added black knobs to match the rest of the kitchen. Then use black or a dark gray grout on the white tile backsplash. This would have given you some warmth. Just my thoughts.

@KelseyRomitoDIY

I think the editing of this video is making the cabinets look white- they’re actually gray. Wish I could have stained the glass hutch but it’s not real wood so it had to be painted. I agree it would have looked beautiful. I have some kitchen videos after this adding warmth to the kitchen and I have some new ones coming soon. The kitchen is a continuous work in progress.
