The old house I've been working on for nearly a year is almost done. It is a small bungalow but the livingroom and kitchen are in this open concept style so there is a large continuous space I have been trying to figure out how to tie together to stage for sale. I just needed a pop of teal in the kitchen so I printed the little Mary Poppins quote from my computer and the rest is materials from a scrap book making kit.
To update the kitchen, we did many very simple little things. We added a sticker tile metal back splash from Home Depot. One cupboard door was in really bad shape, so I just took it off and hung wine glass holders in the top shelf. There was a funny looking gap between the corner cupboard and the window, so I put in two corner shelves in to round out the space.
The range hood exhaust pipe was quite ugly above the cupboards. So I got some tin from Home Depot, bent it to shape, spray-painted it with white appliance enamel paint to match the appliances and it is just sitting up there looking like its attached to the range hood through the cupboard. A little hard to see in the picture because I placed some silver metal tins up there for decoration.
Then I painted the kitchen cupboards grey and the pots are hanging from a bathroom shelf I found at Ikea. Very simple little changes, but it all came together well for a clean aesthetic and functional look.
