Over 20 kitchens with painted cabinets….
I know painted cabinets are a hot trend right now. It’s a great way to give old cabinets an inexpensive facelift with a whole new look! In our unplanned kitchen renovation where we painted our kitchen cabinets.
We were so hesitant to do it, but now I am so happy we did it! It changed our whole kitchen!

Painting our kitchen cabinets wasn’t that hard either or expensive,it just took time and patience.
Here’s a peek at our before and after:
I found this really, really old, super-gacky picture from over 12 years ago. What was I thinking? It’s almost painful to look at. It was so dark and the old, Oak-y,grainy cabinets absorbed every bit of light there was.
Tada…it’s so much brighter! And no boob light!

Looks fabulous!! Wish I had a kitchen reno to share but I don’t. Looking forward to seeing others who come to party though.
I was so excited to see you in the magazine feature. You really deserve the kudos. Don’t know if I ever told you, but when I saw what you did, I just knew I HAD to take the leap and go for repainting mine, so thanks so much for the encouragement. xo Debra

Hi Jennifer,
I really admire your kitchen redo! In fact, we are in the middle of painting our cabinets white…still in the prep stage though. Would love to do more to our kitchen, but that’s what we can afford for now – so looking at your transformation is such an inspiration! 🙂 Thanks again for sharing.
XO’s,
Jessie
It is beautiful! I love the cabinet color! I tried to link up, but it would accept my web address? I thought I’d let you know since I don’t see anyone else linked up either.
Thanks, Katie

Hey there! Your kitchen looks fabulous!!!! Wanted to let you know that I will be posting your ‘gift’ on Friday afternoon!!! So excited…
I love the look, especially the chandelier. Trying to link up an old post of my kitchen redo, but having problems making a few changes. Hope you have a good party.
oh my , your kitchen is a spectacular transformation. I’d hardly know it was the same room..
BEAUTIFUL~!
thanks so much for allowing us to show off our painted kitchens..

LOL! Boob light! I have 2 of those in my kitchen I’ve been wanting to replace. Never thought to call them that! Funny!
It wouldnt let me enter my link.. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

What an incredible transformation! Awesome job. I wish i had a transformation to link up, but the only thing that’s changed in my kitchen over 16 years is the paint color and knobs!
I literally had to do a double take-wow! I can’t believe that’s the same kitchen….amazing! Thank you for hosting the linky 🙂 I’d love to invite you over to my blog for WhateverWednesday link party. Hope to see you there!
Wow – loved the painted kitchen and all the pretty accessories you added! Linda
Fun! I adore your kitchen! And will always love a white kitchen 🙂 I linked up!

Great little impromptu party! Thanks for hosting, your kitchen is dreamy!
I think that is the best before after I have ever seen! Love your kitchen.
I love looking at everyone’s kitchens, they are so pretty! I love your’s Jennifer; beautiful! Your’s was actually an inspiration for mine when I did mine. I linked up #18 my kitchen makeover. It’s funny to see so many makeovers painted their cabinets white or cream; great minds think alike.

Very nice, it took me a while to get “boob light”.. quite funny 🙂
Oh my gosh, what a great idea! I wish I had thought of this but no need, you took care of it for me. I am planning my kitchen redo now. You have saved me a TON of work looking for kitchens to be inspired by. Are you countertops butcher block? If so do you love them? I am seriously thinking of getting them just can’t make up my mind!
LOVE your kitchen! I remember when I first saw the big reveal I was breathless! So vintage, so perfect! Love all the other rooms in your house too, your style is great!!! Thanks for hosting the link up party! It’s my very first one I’ve ever been a part of! Mine is kitchen #2.

{Scream} That is so amazingly different and beautiful! especially love the chandelier (I hate boob lights too). Great great great job.
Thanks for this party Jennifer…it could have not come at a better time for me…we just began our kitchen cabinet painting project…Although I’ve painted tons of furniture in the past, never anything as big as this!!…so good to check out the others and get rid of my anxiety!!…Yours of course is so beautiful and one of my all time fav redos!!…thx again…xo, Mariaelena
It looks wonderful, what a change, love it. Like the chandelier too, my ceiling is too low, wish I could do that! Laura

AMAZING…. I LOVE it… so pretty and cohesive. It just could NOT be prettier. I could move right in. 🙂
Blessings,

Thought you might like to know that shine.yahoo has included a pic of your kitchen, among others…all without giving credit.
Here’s the link fyi: http://shine.yahoo.com/at-home/15-easy-ways-kitchen-213000844.html
Great job on your kitchen reno. I can’t wait for the day I can start on mine!

Oh, that’s beautiful — and inspiring, particularly since my kitchen is overdue for painting.
“Boob light” made me laugh. I have a friend who’s an electrician. Apparently, at least where I live, electricians call those things ‘nips’. I’m thinking you can guess why! 😀
Please help me find the other 19 kitchens. I have not been able to find a link. Did I misunderstand the title? 20 kitchens with painted cabs?
There should be a link list, I’ll check it Thanks.
Your kitchen looks great. I just finished mine as well. 28 doors & 17 drawers later, it was quite the task but I am so glad I did it. It really brightened up the kitchen and it looks brand new again. I guess I am too late to add to the link to my blog.
