DIY kitchen transformation: the lettered cottage

last week my deer heads were featured on the lettered cottage as a favorite tutorial for 2010.
this was my first introduction to the lettered cottage and now i am obsessed.
the before and after section is a MUST see, don’t walk...run!

their kitchen transformation is incredible.
it makes me believe that all outdated cabinets are salvageable.
if you have an outdated kitchen, this is such a great solution!


here is the same kitchen before the makeover.
they kept the existing cabinets and countertops.

at first they painted the cabinets black but later painted the upper cabinets white and the base cabinets grey.
go here for step by step instructions on how they painted the cabinets

then they added MDF moulding and trim from home depot to the tops of the cabinets.


go here for a tutorial.


they finished the cabinets off with $10.00 corbels from home depot.
a little glue, one nail, and they were complete!


i just can’t get over how custom the finished kitchen looks.


and don’t you love the open upper cabinets?
they just removed the doors!

i think this is the best diy kitchen makeover i have ever seen.
