Trendy Two-Toned Kitchen Cabinet Refresh

September 4, 2018

Once the space is cleared, remove the cabinet drawers and doors for sanding. Applying a coat of KILZ^® 2 Latex primer achieves two important goals: it blocks out stains and provides the ideal surface for new paint colors to adhere to the wooden drawers. Perform the same prep steps on kitchen walls.

When painting cabinetry, choose a strong, semi-gloss latex paint that holds up to the rigors of daily use in a high traffic area. Since we’re going for a lively, two-toned look, we’ve chosen KILZ^® TRIBUTE^® in a periwinkle blue called Old Lamppost and contrasted it with KILZ^® TRIBUTE^® in Contemporary White.

Add some additional color punch with wild, graphic patterns on curtains or linens and suddenly your kitchen is a fun, inviting space perfect for entertaining. New knobs and pulls breathe new life into the cabinets once they’re replaced, and a simple pair of curtains cleverly camouflages the laundry appliances. An inexpensive set of new accessories tops off our slick new kitchen look, and the finished product is now cozy, clean and welcoming.

Master Bedroom Refresh

August 14, 2018

A ready-to-use neutral creates the ideal base for your transformation. In this case, a coat of KILZ COMPLETE COAT^® Paint & Primer in One—we’ve used a color called Swiss Coffee here—leaves little guesswork and effort because it covers all four walls with one coat. After that, the magic happens.

To add a pop of contrast and sophistication, we’ve elected to paint the bottom half of the walls in a slightly contrasting neutral—another KILZ COMPLETE COAT^® hue called Origami. This combined neutral palette creates the effect that the ceilings are higher than they are, opening up the bedroom and making it feel more spacious.

But our weekend bedroom transformation isn’t apparent only on the walls; a furniture refresh is in order, too. KILZ^® CHALK STYLE PAINT upcycles fixtures with a soft finish, creating the perfect accent piece for our tranquil, welcoming bedroom refresh.
