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.

2 hours later… New fridge!!!

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

My vintage Sputnik clock is going to my grave with me! #bananas

Up next… The three-season porch!

Since I’m trapped in my house for the Covid-19 quarantine, I thought I’d stay productive and start doing some home improvement projects. I started small, by painting the Bathroom and Laundry Room. Here’s how they turned out.

And doy, I should have taken before pics (they started out ruff)… My bad. And my next project is painting the kitchen refurbishing my rusty fridge. Stay Tuned.

How are you staying busy and productive during these important times?
