Living Rich on Less - Decorating, organizing, home & life improvement. Living Rich on Less. Hello friends! I realize it has been quite awhile since I’ve posted. I began this summer trying to juggle several balls in the air, then quickly became buried in what I’d compare to a Mc. Donald’s Playland ball pit. I’m sure you can relate. I believe ridiculously busy times in our lives like these are actually blessings in disguise, because they force us to prioritize what is really important. Am I right? Anyway, dare I say that life is calming down a bit for me right now, and I can return to blogging more regularly again. Yay! Today I am pumped to share the final reveal of the flip house kitchen with you. Later this week, I’ll be posting a complete recap of the flip house with all the befores and afters, so you can really grasp the magnitude of the transformation. The best part of this whole endeavor was that,! We’re set to close this week. I won’t make much money on this project. But the experience was priceless and will hopefully serve me well as I go on to tackle the next great project. Now back to that kitchen . My husband and dad got to execute that “brilliance,” which I’m sure they were thrilled about. What was supposed to be an easy project was maybe not so easy. But in the end it was perfection. Check out the kitchen now! Kitchen after. I’ll try to give you the Cliffs. Notes version of what went on here. I kept the original cabinets, doors and drawers, because they were in great shape. I refinished them using the Rust- Oleum. I also kept the original sink, but I added a new faucet. I started by scrubbing the doors and drawers with the deglosser that comes in the transformations kit. Then I added some lattice molding to the edge of the doors (not the drawers) to give the doors more of an upscale, modern feel. The lattice was attached with Liquid Nails. I used caulk around the edges of the lattice to fill any holes and cracks. After that dried, it was time to add paint. I applied several coats of white paint in the kit using my Home. Right. I switched to the Finish Max Pro halfway through the job because it was such a large project and the pro seemed to handle the volume a little better. After several coats of white paint, I sprayed on the protective topcoat that came in the kit. Although this project turned out great, I will admit it was way more work than I anticipated, particularly the lattice part. I love this floor! Of course, the whole room got fresh paint, including the ceiling. I added one accent wall in a chalkboard finish, which was a bit of a risk. But that chalkboard wall has been a huge hit with visitors and one of the first things they say they like about the house. So I guess it was a good choice. What do you think of the transformation? I’d love to hear your feedback! Years after leaving the jungle and settling down with his wife Jane (Margot Robbie) in London, Tarzan (Alexander Skarsg Wow, i love love LOVE the black doors!
