July 2005 Kitchen Repainting Project Photos
Since we moved into our current home back in 2000, we have been
slowly transforming the kitchen space (who am I kidding? ...our whole
house!) into one that is more compatible with our own personal style
and taste. There wasn't much wrong with the out-of-the-box components
of the kitchen per se, the look just needed some tweaking here and
there.
In fact, now that I think about it, I believe the first project I
completed in our current home was that of hanging a pot rack over
our kitchen island. But that project (or even the project of
installing the instant-hot water tap) pales in comparison to the
monumental task I undertook in early summer of 2004 of painting all
of our kitchen cabinetry black. Now that was a major
endeavor.
More recently Kristy completed (just in time for
Berkeley's
Birthday Party) a makeover of the wall treatment in the kitchen.
She applied a Ralph Lauren chocolate brown glaze over the walls
and painted a mural over our range top. The result is a warm, rich,
and cozy look. Here are some sample images of the kitchen that I
snapped today:
I have posted large versions of our current kitchen photos together with
some I took last year (2004) and some that I took back in 2001. You can
find them all here:
enjoy!
