Entering our old kitchen was like going back in time. Old, dark cabinetry made the area feel confined and dismal. We chose to update our home, and kitchen remodeling Waukesha WI was the right opportunity. We had no idea the transition would be remarkable.

We started with cabinetry. They were sturdy but required a makeover. The black stain dimmed the space, making even sunny days feel cloudy. We thought painting them white would lighten and modernize the space. We gathered our supplies and started working.

We started with sanding. Though tedious, it was necessary. We needed to do this step to ensure paint adhesion. Sanding away the old surface was like peeling away years of wear and tear to expose a fresh canvas. It was wood exfoliation. We got closer to our brighter, cozier kitchen with each stroke.

Priming followed. To ensure smooth paint application and longevity, we used a high-quality primer. Covering the ancient, dark wood with primer gave hope and set the stage for the metamorphosis. The cabinets turning from dark brown to clean, even white was like daybreak breaking through a night sky.

Real magic happened in painting. We used a semi-gloss white paint that could handle kitchen life. The room changed as the paint went on. Gloomy area became bright and airy. It was like opening the curtains to let in the sun. We got closer to our dream kitchen with each brushstroke.

The hardware completed it. We replaced worn handles with elegant, modern ones. It was like wearing new shoes that complemented the outfit. A modern appearance on the cabinetry connected the kitchen together. The change was amazing.

Our kitchen used to feel outdated. The dark cabinets made us want to leave. After installing white cabinets, it seems like our home’s heart. We congregate, cook, and make memories there. We felt differently about our home after the physical alteration. It’s like going from black and white to color.
