In this episode of Kitchen Renovations, host Paul Ryan converts this personality-free, plain kitchen...
|
| |
that was low on counter space ...
|
| |
into a beautiful new Tuscan-style kitchen!
|
| |
Faux painting did the trick when it comes to creating that "old-world" feel.
|
| |
The new limestone countertop was a perfect match for the new kitchen, ...
|
| |
and the tumble-tile backsplash added just the right amount of flair.
|
| |
Even the old and new appliances looked right at home after the remodeling.
|
| |
This 48-hour Tuscan renovation project gave the homeowners that touch of Italy they were going for!

Cabinet Face-lift- Prepare the doors by first marking them so you'll know where they go.
- Remove all the hardware and save the hinges and screws.
- Create a workspace where you can lay out all the doors.
- Using an orbital palm sander (figure A), sand front of doors to remove the finish.
- Wipe off the doors with a tack cloth.
Adding Decorative Details to the Doors- Visually decide where you would like the decorative pieces (figure B) to go.
- Measure the doors and the transfer the measurements to the rest of the doors for consistency. You measure because you want the overlays to be properly aligned.
- Using a jet-melt glue gun apply the pieces to the doors (figure C).
Safety Alert: Be sure to wear gloves because the glue is extremely hot! Tip: Move quickly because the glue dries quickly.
Painting the Base Wall Coat- Prepare the area with drop cloths and tape.
- Mix the base coat -- 1/2 primer and 1/2 selected base color (figure D).
- Use a brush to cut in ceiling and edges.
- Use a roller to paint large areas.
- Allow time to dry.
- Apply the second color by mixing 1/2 Flotrol and 1/2 of the second color (burnt umber).
Note: Flotrol is a paint medium that keeps paint fluid and prevents brush marks. It dilutes the color but gives the strength of the paint, along with a glaze effect. - Brush on and be sure to get into all the ridges.
- Wipe off with a rag, leaving more in cracks and crevices.
- Apply the third color/highlight.
- Dry brush on the highlight color.
- Dip the brush then wipe off majority of paint on a piece of newspaper.
- Brush lightly on the texture (figure E), which will add highlights to the surface.
Faux Painting the Cabinet Doors and Boxes- Apply the base coat.
- Mix 1/2 primer/sealer and 1/2 base color.
- Brush on.
- Let dry.
- Apply second coat
- Brush on the base coat and be sure to follow the grain.
- Let dry.
- Apply the third coat
- Mix 1/2 Flotrol and 1/2 selected color (burnt umber).
- Brush on liberally and be sure to get into the ridges (figure F).
- Wipe off with a rag, leaving paint in the grooves and crevices.
- Allow time to dry.
- Apply the final highlight coat by selecting the top coat highlight color and use the dry brush technique that was utilized earlier.
- Apply the paint to the brush and wipe off the majority on a piece of newspaper.
- Apply to the door -- brushing with the grain of wood.
- Allow time to dry.
