what's cooking | The
kitchen wall paneling and cabinets got the same white paint
makeover as the rest of the house; after painting the cabinet
doors, however, she decided to take them off altogether (though
she put them away and saved them for the next tenant). The open
shelving allowed her to show off all her colorful pottery. To
add some more color, Erin also redid the floors with green
linoleum tile.
Like
many a renter, Erin found herself stuck with tired old kitchen
counters that bore the scars of years of other renters' abuse.
Replacing the countertops was too pricey to be a real option,
instead, she grabbed a can of counter paint from the hardware
store, primed the surface, sanded lightly, and then painted on a
brand new counter. >
