The first thing I did when I moved into this house was to pain the kitchen tiles.
I needed al least one of the colors to dissapear, because it was driving me crazy.
About 3 months later, I changed the cabinets, because as you can see they were coming apart. I took the oportunity to expand the countertop, using the space that was meant for the fridge (mine didn’t fit).
At that time, I painted the floors with a geometric design in white and gray, but I made a lot of mistakes and in a few months it started to deteriorate.
When I bought the luxury vynil planks for the rest of the home, I thought the wood look would bring some much needed warmth to the space and I really love how it turned out.
Later, I added the wood bar, so as to have a little bit more counter space. But something wasn’t clicking yet, and it was the tiled wall. So what did I do? I filled in the grout, sanded, suffered along with my dusty home, and then suffered some more while I cleaned the dust up.
Once the sanding part was done, I primed the wall (don’t skip this step), and then painted it with a faux cement effect. That gave me the perfect background for a black and white gallery wall.
What do you think of the final resault?
