Come see how we updated our kitchen with a FrugElegant Makeover…
The wallpaper & white wash cabinets needed to be updated. No contractor needed because I knew what I wanted & my husband & I could handle the project. We did not need to replace the granite countertops because they were replaced about 8 years ago. The granite is Giallo Veneziano Granite.
Here’s the changes we made:
- New tile floor
- New cabinet doors (ordered from a cabinet company)
- Decorative Hardware (got a special discounted rate negotiating with a store that only sells handles- they gave us a contractors price)
- New canned lights replaced the old fluorescents.
- A custom looking range hood
- A larger crown molding installed around the top edge of cabinets gives an elegant custom look.
- Seeded Glass cut to fit in 2 of the cabinet doors (we ordered & had cut from a glass company)
- Puck lights added to light up the shelves
- A spice pull out cabinet (next to cooktop)
- Lots of pull out drawers
- A small pantry closet is now a cabinet with a built in wine refrigerator below.
Beautiful decor adds to any & all rooms. Much the same way fashion accessories can make an outfit complete- The decor used here were all found on sale or at favorite discount stores. Hard to tell which items came from Ballard Designs & which came from HomeGoods or even the local craft store. Either way the finishing touch is fabulous—
I LOVE MY NEW KITCHEN!
Resource Guide to some products used:
- Staging pieces- The Pear is a favorite from Ballard Design.
- Wall Paint is a custom color by Kelly-Moore Paints. MSL205 FAWN. Label on paint container says:
I love it! What size/color tile did you use? We are doing a white kitchen and having a hard time deciding…
What paint and colors did you use to do the cabinets?
Hi Cody, It was a custom color mix. We can look it up when home and get back to you on that info asap.
I am also interested in the cabinet paint, LOVE THEM!
Hi Kimmie, So sorry but the cabinets were painted by a cabinet company and we don’t have the information on that. The best suggestion if painting yourself (or using a cabinet company) would be to show them the pic and ask for a few samples to best match. A good suggestion is to add a tone from your floor/counter/walls. Apologies for not having the specific information. Thank you for asking!!
What colors did you use on the walls I love it!!
Hi Jennifer,
We are adding the info into the post for convenience for future readers.. thank you so much for asking.
It is a custom color by Kelly Moore: MSL205 FAWN.
There is not a Kelly Moore store on the east coast. Can you suggest a ben moore paint color that is close?
Hi Kristen, Home depot can probably color match if given a code for the color. Keep in mind, colors looks different in a home depending on light etc. I would just get a few sample size colors in the tone and take a look in your own lighting for what works closest. Let us know how it goes 😉
What products did you use to paint and glaze your cabinets?
Just beautiful! I would love to also know what paint and glaze you used on the cabinets and what is the name of yourgranite. Thank you!
hey what color did you use on your cabinets?
Interested in the color and glaze used on cabinets, too. Beautiful.
I really would love to do my cabinets like you. What was the color and glaze you used? Thank you
Hi Joyce, so sorry for my delay in writing. We were trying to find the information. The cabinets were picked and painted at the cabinet company and we cant seem to find the exact colors. So sorry.
Hello, I am desperately trying to find the mix for the wall color. Would you mind sharing the mix information on the label? Unfortunately Kelly Moore isn’t in my state but I would love to color
Match it.
Hi Tia, I inserted a small picture at the end of the post with the information on the label. Hope it helps.
It is such a beautiful color. Let us know how it works out for you! It would be great to also share with others
to help them also, just in case they run into a similar situation. 😉
THANK you!! Appreciate it so much
Of course, we are happy to help. Let us know how your project comes out 😉
Was curious the specifics on the countertops. What brand and color are they ?
Hi Todd, The name is Giallo Veneziano Granite. The shades vary per slab. Thanx for asking, I will add that info into the post too.
Hi! Kitchen remodel looks amazing! What type of floor tiling is that and what color?
Hi Ashley, so sorry for our delay in getting the info for you. The tile was done about 7 years ago and unfortunately the receipt does not give the exact name. What we can share with you is the company that the tile was purchased from is: Bedrosians. The tile description says: 20×20 Chiseled Bianco (Beige) 93-CTN and the item code # is CRD JIBI2020C
We hope this information helps.
Happy & wonderful New Year!
Do you recall the manufacturer of cabinets?
Your kitchen is lovely! It looks like your cabinet doors are like what are in my new house. Where did you get your cabinet doors? I need a few more and mine are that honey oak (ugh) that will be painted white; but, I want to add a few more.
Thank you very very much in advance – you have also saved me a ton of money because I wasn’t too sure how they would look painted and after finding your site I can see how beautiful it will be!
Great Job!
Want to know the color name for your granite
