Don’t be faint, paint!

Do you hate your kitchen cabinets and want to paint them, but you’re too scared that if you did they might turn out terribly, and then you’d hate them?  Do you see the flaw in your thinking there?  You’d be right back where you started, and only out a few gallons of paint! Big whoop!

BUT chances are, you won’t do a terrible job because you’re pretty brilliant, I happen to know, and they will turn out fabulously, and you will LOVE them! And throw a party just to show them off! And make more friends, because of all these parties you keep having! And probably get a new job with more money thanks to these new friends! Wow, your life just made a turn for the better, all thanks to being a little gutsy and painting your cabinets like you’ve always wanted to.

Here’s some happy inspiration from Jesse at NineRed.

    I cant even believe this is the same kitchen! I mean, its even the SAME appliances, dish towels, art – EVERYTHING in the exact same place – except the painted cabinets!!! I am inspired 🙂

    AMAZING! I love that she didn’t have to buy all new accessories or anything — the paint job just makes EVERYTHING look better!

    We’re painting our not-really-real-wood cabinets with latex paint right now. I’ve been nervous for years but we’ve reached a point where it has to be done. And….. it looks great! I can’t wait to have a party and have my life change around me! 😀

    Wow, what a difference. It’s hard to believe that the only change is the paint on the cabinets. I’d love to paint mine, but I don’t really like the door style so I think it would be wasted effort.

    Amazing what a can of paint can do! The cabinets turned out great and they make the colorful appliances stand out so much more!
