Kitchen Confidential

Minty Fresh Kitchen Realness

Next stop on my Coronavirus quarantine home improvement to-do list… Painting the kitchen.

My kitchen has been the same ever since I moved in back in 2009. I’ve wanted to paint it forever, but never was able to find the time… Quarantine Silver Lining alert!!! Painting was what it really needed; Head to toe. The cabinets, the walls and the fridge.

I took it out of its 90s purple vibe into a minty retro realm. I was always obsessed with Martha Stewart’s green accents and I’ve been dying to have a mind kitchen. Dreams came true with Benjamin Moore “Mantis Green” (2033-60).

I also had the ugliest and rustiest refrigerator that I’d ever seen. It was easy to get it to a brand-new look once again. All I did was sand off the flaking rust and then dazzle it with some high-gloss white from Rustoleum. Check out the photos.

The essential “Before” image… I love purple but on in my kitchen.

Shelves of vintage treasures and curiosities. The Owl cookie jar is my fave.
