council kitchen

[carron81]

hey

live in a council house. the kitchen is that old 80/early 90's marble type worktop

theres not much we can do about that but had to do the whole house up and all rooms are either white, blossom white, ivory cream, snowdrop = light creamy colour. as all the rooms in the house are light i was wanting something different in the kitchen

already done one coat of white but cant make my mind up on the next coat.

if you have a darker kitchen what paint do you have on the walls? was either thinking of a white with a hint of darkness or egyptian cotton or naturall hessian and do one wall but the kitchen is the first room folk see so want it to be decent

cheers:)

Doesn't matter whether your home's Council-owned or otherwise carron. I prefer to see my own as functional, rather than having to look like something you daren't breathe in, but a friend of mine's just recedorated hers and it looks fab - done out in pale grey and white.

dont get me wrong theres nothing wrong being in a council house, im just trying to let folk know what type of kitchen we have so folk dont think its supper modern state of the art kitchen

its just a basic kitchen with damaged doors etc just want a colour that will go in nicely and not make it look daft for the condition its in

also if anyone knows where you can get that sticky stuff you see on the tv thta transforms kitchen cupboard doors that would be good.

Bet you can get all that sort of thing at a DIY store like B & Q, and they also do replacement cupboard doors that aren't too expensive. Once you've given the room a fresh lick of paint, it'll look nice anyway. Good luck witrh it.
