LiveLoveDIY: The Chalkboard Paint Kitchen Cabinet Makeover


I firmly believe in making the best of what you have.
What I have is a very small kitchen.
But after a few weeks of elbow grease, $25, and a pint of chalkboard paint,
I can finally say loud and proud:
After painting the cabinets, I labeled each cabinet with whatever goodies were stored inside.
This is my favorite cabinet, full of mugs I've collected through the years, mostly from thrift stores.



I also made a special cabinet just for our party supplies. We entertain a lot, and it's nice to have everything in one place.



I decided to spruce up my silverware drawer, too.




I  painted and labeled my old wooden silverware organizer.


and then I used the same blue paint on my old wooden knifeblock.


and then I made a little area for all my spices, labeling each one and storing them in a crystal bowl I scored from the thrift store.
I updated the kitchen light with a chandelier I found on Craigslist. It's much better than the former boob light.


Some of the cabinets needed more TLC than the rest, like the pots & pans cabinet.

I  got to enjoy contorting my body into a fruit rollup to reach the 4 feet of hidden space.


   
But the end result was totally worth fruit-rolluping myself.
Here is another one of my favorite parts of the kitchen.
I like the tile. I hate the color. Totally outdated, and not cohesive with my color scheme.
(ignore the dining room...under construction)


So, I painted it.



Like I do everything else. 




I used paint and then put 2 layers of poly over it.

(Update. This totally did not last. Since this post, I've done something much better to this tile. Seriously. Check it out...it's awesome.)


 I also added a chalkboard trim around the bar. Those chairs are another Goodwill find. Originally $5 each and dark brown. I just primed and painted them a semi-gloss white.
I also added a few botanical prints in white matted frames...one of my fave easy art ideas.
And although this room still has a ways to go, it's so much better than it was when we moved in.
