Checkered Past

Um… at least it has neutral flooring, right?

Neutral flooring is a great choice because it will go with ANYTHING. Ok, that’s a lie. You can’t just paint your kitchen walls magenta, hoping it will blend with your blue countertops and that every other design sin will get overlooked because you have a beige-ish floor.

In fact, the floor was the last problem area of this kitchen that Gail from My Repurposed Life tackled, and she did it just by repainting right over the vinyl! Amazing job on a shoestring budget. I love how it makes the blue countertops actually look modern and gives it a nice pop of (coordinating) color.
