PAINTING A DISTRESSED & AGED FINISH ON LORI'S KITCHEN ISLAND
This is another paint project for Lori's home.She asked me to paint and distress her kitchen island.
Before I painted it, the finish was a pickled white-washed oak cabinet.
There is a lot of green in her light fixtures over the island and she wanted me to paint that same green on her island.
I painted the electrical plugs and switch plates to match the island.
It just looks so much better than to leave them white or black.
Now, it looks more like a piece of furniture than a kitchen cabinet.
The new paint colors look really nice with her granite, too.
This is her island before I painted it.
Look at the white electrical plug and plate. Don't they look better, now?
This finish was Lori's idea and her new island looks soooo nice in her, already beautiful kitchen.
Your friend must have been thrilled - I'd have been!

DeleteOh! I love this! Very nicely done! It looks so rich and old world now! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration! Painting the outlet covers really does make a huge impact as well!

Thank you! I'm working at her house right now and it's nice to see the island, again.
DeleteWow this turned out great! Yes the outlet looks much better!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you agree with the outlets being painted to match.

DeleteI actually thought it was a piece of furniture at first glance. Painting out the outlet made it disappear. Great job! Thank you for sharing it at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a happy day! ~Deborah
