The original kitchen did little to encourage people to spend time in the space or inspire home-cooking or hosting. To liven up this kitchen and create a welcoming space, we focused our efforts on a simple yet powerful paint job and some key design upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>For this makeover, we chose\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\">KILZ 3<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a>\u00a0because it offers adhesion and a mildew resistant finish on the primer film, ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens where water, steam, and even tough liquids like oils are commonplace. This primer is also high hide, meaning you can apply it directly over old colors (even darker ones!) and still be able to paint a bright white topcoat to finish.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-8346 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_Before-Full.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"A Fresh Kitchen Makeover: Before\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-8362\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_Before-Full.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_Before-Full-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-8362'>\n\t\t\t\tBEFORE\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-8346 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_After-Full.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"A Fresh Kitchen Makeover: After\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-8363\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_After-Full.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_After-Full-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-8363'>\n\t\t\t\tAFTER\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Once the primer was applied and allowed to dry, we top coated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/magnolia\/paint\/premium-interior\">Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> paint in True White<\/a> to add a fresh, renewing sense of cleanliness to the space.

We chose a neutral combination of white, brown, and black. Dark colors were kept to a minimum, with a few mid-century modern accessories \u2013 including soft metallic pendant lights, low-rise barstools, a modern drink cart and simple white ceramic food canisters\u2013 providing welcoming aesthetic accents in key areas of the room. And to allow for more entertaining in the space, we brought in a larger dining table with additional seating.<\/p>\n<p>This kitchen makeover is proof that a simple color change with primer and fresh coat of paint can be the perfect foundation for a stunning transformation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_After.jpg\" alt=\"A Fresh Kitchen Makeover\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_After.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Kilz-Blog-October-Inspiration-Fresh-Kitchen-Makeover_After-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Always remember to refer to our website\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/\"><em>kilz.com<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0or product back labels for additional information on which primer is right for your project and detailed instructions on how to apply our products.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dated and uninspiring kitchen is transformed into a fresh cooking and entertaining space in this remarkable kitchen transformation.
