Painting Soffits!




We made the simplest change over the week-end and are loving it!  See the tan wall above our built-ins?  Well let's just say it isn't tan anymore.  Yup, we painted the soffit above our built-ins,such a simple update that makes a huge difference.

Here's the before...


And here's the After...


This is such a great trick for making your built-in cabinetry look custom and taller!  We did this for our kitchen cabinetry too.  Check it out...


See the soffit area just under the trim moulding?  That used to be covered in a fruit border wall paper of all things!  That is before I removed it and totally made over this once orange and oaky kitchen.

Okay, painting your soffits = big impact!

  7. That's fabulous! It makes the ceiling look higher! Have you thought of adding some little "legs" to the bottom? I forget what they are called, but I think they are used for corner moulding.

  16. Wood countertops. They have all the elements of smooth finish and elegant looking surface but there are few things that make the granite tile more efficient and cost saving.

  20. That looks great! I have soffits in my 1986 kitchen that project out - don't follow the line of the cabinets. But I still might try it.
