He Spray-Painted the Oak Cabinets Neptune Lily and Made the Original Kitchen Look New

Image
Warm oak covered almost every cabinet in this kitchen, from the long run beneath the windows to the tall appliance units and island. Instead of removing cabinetry that already fit the room, the existing doors, drawer fronts, frames, end panels, wine storage, and decorative details were kept for a color change. @renewingdecoratin Instagram creator @renewingdecorating spray-painted the cabinetry in Neptune Lily, replacing the orange-toned oak finish with a pale neutral shade. Granite countertops, exposed brick, dark ceiling beams, wood flooring, and the kitchen layout remained, making the cabinet color the change that separates the before and after. The finished kitchen still has the same raised-panel doors, tall storage, glass-front wall cabinet, island shelving, and built-in appliances seen in the original room. Against the new cabinet finish, the brick and old timber beams become stronger features instead of competing with another warm wood tone. Oak Covered the Cabinets From the...

She Kept Adding Pumpkins to Her Fall Porch, Then Wondered if She Went Too Far

Image
Pumpkins fill almost every part of this front porch, but placing them on the floor was only the start. They appear inside stacked crates, among flowers, on tables, beside lanterns, across pillows, and within arrangements that climb the walls. @southernseazons Southern Seazons creator Jody questioned the result herself, writing that she might have “too much of a pumpkin theme.” Even the front door, which she first thought had escaped the pumpkins, had a small one tucked into the arrangement. Stacked Crates Turn One Corner Into a Pumpkin Display @southernseazons Two weathered wood crates create shelves at the end of the porch, giving pumpkins and fall flowers three different heights. Orange pumpkins sit at the top and center, while a pale pumpkin anchors the arrangement near the floor. Black lanterns break up the orange and red flowers and connect with the dark metal porch furniture. Filling the crates instead of setting everything along the floor makes a small corner h...

He Removed the Breakfast Table and Built a Huge Kitchen Island in Its Place

Image
Oak cabinets, square tile floors, and a four-seat breakfast table filled this kitchen before a remodel submitted to Homedit through our Submit Your Work page . The family wanted a large island where they could sit and eat, a request that would change far more than the cabinet finish. Joel Montfort of Montfort Designs LLC gutted the kitchen, removed the wall with the arched opening, and pushed the new layout into the former breakfast area. Removing a wall of windows created several more feet for cabinetry and appliances, while the breakfast table gave way to a wide central island. White Shaker cabinets, River White granite, and wood-look porcelain tile completed the transformation, but the hardest part wasn’t installing the new kitchen. Removing the old flooring required a jackhammer and grinder, with glue-down hardwood in two rooms adding another challenge. The breakfast table occupied space the kitchen needed The old kitchen stopped at the edge of the breakfast area, leavi...

8 Things Homeowners Are Building Into Their Kitchen Cabinets Now

Image
Kitchen cabinets are doing more than storing dishes, cookware, and pantry staples. New designs are building dedicated spots for paper towels, spices, produce, trash bins, small appliances, and even pet bowls right into the cabinets. @scscabinets Narrow gaps beside the range become pull-outs, deep drawers hide everyday clutter, and cabinet doors conceal entire work zones. Spaces that once went unused now have a specific job. These eight ideas show how far kitchen storage has moved beyond standard shelves and drawers, keeping more everyday items off the counters, floors, and out of sight. Narrow Pull-Out Cabinets Are Replacing Dead Space Beside the Range @scscabinets Narrow spaces beside a range no longer have to become filler panels or awkward cabinets. Slim pull-outs turn those gaps into full-depth storage, keeping cooking essentials close to the stove without taking space from larger drawers. Storage is only part of the range wall. Glossy white subway tile switches to a herrin...

Why More Living Rooms Are Skipping the Rectangular Coffee Table

Image
Rectangular coffee tables have long filled the space between a sofa and surrounding chairs, but they are not always the best match for how living room furniture is arranged. Curved sofas, sectionals, lounge chairs, and open seating plans leave room for shapes that follow the furniture rather than cutting across it. Round tables can overlap to create more surface area, long ovals can stretch across a wide sofa, and smaller tables can be grouped where they are needed. Stone, wood, glass, and metal also have more impact when the tabletop itself becomes part of the composition. These living rooms show how changing the coffee table shape can address spacing, circulation, surface area, and the relationship between pieces of seating. Two Round Tables Fill a Long Seating Area Without One Massive Surface Two low round tables overlap in front of the sectional, giving both ends of the seating area access to a tabletop. Their different diameters keep the arrangement from reading as a matchi...
