Kitchen progress


otterine

I knew I wanted painted cabinets, but I had a hard time deciding on a color scheme. I searched through countless online sites for ideas and stumbled upon something I would never have thought of: red cabinets. With red cabinets, though, the red brick wall I had originally planned for the kitchen would need to be modified. I painted it white and chose Bazzill Basics scrapbook paper in a light grey/white called Glass Slipper for the rest of the walls. Here I've applied one coat of Apple Barrel paint in Barn Red. I liked that the wood grain showed through, so I opted not to paint a second coat. I am still mulling over color ideas for the countertops and baseboards. Once fully painted, I will add a coat of satin sealer to give them a shine. There will be also two or three floor cabinets with drawers, but I haven't completed them yet. The wood floor is one possibility, but I am also considering other options. So far, I really like it. <img src="http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

wow....this looks fantastic! If you don't mind, I'd love to use this idea on a dollhouse I'm trying to complete.

Looking forward in seeing what you'll do for the countertops!

Thank you! No, I don't mind at all. Even if we all used the exact same idea, we'd still come up with something all our own. :)
