Isn't this such a lovely makeover?! It was super easy to do, too. It took two sheets of the paneling and we bought a trim kit that was made to go with it but just used one slice of it. The panelings intended use is around walls and you do a chair rail trim piece also. So we have saved that for any future projects it might come in handy for. They come primed, so once they were up and I spackled over the nails and the seam, sanded that down - painting was easy.
I feel like this freshened up the space and is so much nicer to look and sit at! Our cabinets are in great shape but there are some that are showing some wear in the finish. I have been planning to paint them all which is why we went ahead with this project and chose white, because that will coordinate with the cabinets once I tackle that project. But I think in the mean time, this alone really gives that updated look I was going for and breaks up the wood on wood look that was happening in that space.
Another project I am deciding whether or not I want to tackle is painting the countertops. I have been researching a kit I found and the reviews have been very positive. I like to mull things over for a little bit before I start so I can make sure exactly what I want to do. But I will definitely blog about the process of both projects!
Hope you enjoyed this little makeover! I am going to blog about some others I have done in the past, and show some before and afters. I love all things home decor and DIY and I'm sure you do too. Leave a comment linking to your favorite DIY and I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for stopping by! :)
All my love, Lyndsay
