Brushed Nickel Knobs On My Newly Painted Laminate Cabinets

*


I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was full of great food and wonderful family and friends. 

Today I wanted to show you my painted laminate cabinets with their finishing touches, the brushed nickel knobs. And, wow, what a difference this makes.

I thought the cabinets looked great before, but this just brings everything up a level and really makes the kitchen look complete. Unfortunately, I could not put knobs on the two doors on either side of the stove because they need to open completely to allow the small drawers inside to be pulled out. 
It really bothers me, but it is what it is.

We also painted both bathrooms with the same color as the kitchen (Eiffel Tower by Olympic) and installed the same brushed nickel knobs.

And here is our next project. The hall floor. If you've followed me long enough you might remember a little incident with my water heater going kaput and water everywhere.

Of course, I learned after the fact, from my brother-in-law, that I really didn't need to pull up the carpet, and that it would have dried out just fine, but I'm glad I did anyway. This will be a nice little update to the condo.

  1. Hi! I just found your posts on Pinterest because we'll also be painting our identical kitchen cabinets in a few weeks. I'm curious why you didn't replace the hinges on yours? Was it easier not to and you felt that yours looked fine? Mine appear to be the same condition/color but my plan was to replace them during the painting process since the doors will be off anyways. Also, did you paint the inside of your cabinets or only the faces?

    1. I am sorry for the late reply. I never got a notification of your comment.

      I didn't replace the hinges because they were in good condition, and also, that would be more work than I wanted to do. ha.

      I did paint the insides of the doors, and the inside edges of the base cabinets, but not the inside walls or shelves. I used three coats of paint everwhere. Thanks for visiting. I hope your cabinets come out well.
