We have had oil rubbed bronze, & antique brass/golds for the past 13 years so it was time for a change. We introduced more whites & grays, changed to nickel, pewter & stainless steel. I am IN LOVE with Rub-n-buff pewter & silver. I was able to reuse all of my old decorative items by just redoing them (which of course I love to do). I painted the cabinets myself using Maison Blanche Wrought Iron Vintage Furniture Paint. I used three coats & then topped it with Min-Wax Satin Water Based Rub On Poly, three coats as well. I added nickel hardware to the cabinets, & new nickel plumbing faucets with white fixtures & new nickel tradition style light fixtures. We replaced the old while tile with granite "look" formica in gray tones, which I really like.
The demo was sooo labor intensive (tile counters were difficult to remove)...the big mirrors were very hard to get out and down the stairs. I am getting way too old for demo. This will likely be my last major remodel (I hope). And now drum rolls please.....let the fun begin!

Just love your make over. The faucets are beautiful. What color did you paint the vanity?
ReplyDeleteWe painted the cabinets with Maison Blanche Wrought Iron. Seen here on their color chart.

The rooms in your home that I've seen have been gloriously redecorated. No overstatements. Very smooth. Terrific job.
