One positive change I made during the pandemic was in my kitchen. I finally had my 1980s wood grain kitchen cabinets painted Benjamin Moore Linen White. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I spend a lot of time in and near my kitchen (it’s one of those kitchen/family room combos) and having it be light and bright makes me happier.
I don’t know what took me so long. I kept thinking I had to have the cabinets ripped out and replaced. Painting was so much cheaper.

Looks fantastic! What a pretty kitchen. Ours are due for a painting.

Yes it is. If cupboards are sound, I certainly would paint over than replace. Cheaper and just as effective.

Love your kitchen, especially that the windows let in so much light to so much of the room. The white looks beautiful and was a great choice!

Light and bright is the best, especially with the sunlight coming in. I like that your kitchen view has a lot of trees!

A good, practical kitchen with plenty of bench space. Sees a lot of work. It’s important to make it a room you feel comfortable with.
