When we moved in we decided not to do anything about the kitchen, not even repaint it or remove the wallpaper the previous owners put up, since we were planning to do the whole thing later. The kitchen is in a sad, sad state and I don't feel like cooking at all.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to just try to make it a bit more cosy, and I took down most of the open shelves to make the tiny kitchen a little more airy.
The cupboards under the sink were really old, ugly and unfresh so I used some of the selfadhesive vinyl I sometimes use in my illustrations, to cover them with. Then I spraypainted the handles with a bright yellow paint and painted the tabletop black.
I had a really good time doing this and in some weird way I think this kitchen now looks a bit like my illustrations.
It's not perfect in anyway, but it makes the months before we start the big renovation project, a little happier.
This is what it looked like before:
And this is now:

Oh, it looks so cute! I'm sure you still want to eventually renovate, but I think it's important to make what you have as pleasant as possible in the mean time.
That looks incredible, great job!
