The major component of this mini-renovation was changing the grey subway tile to white. Not looking to put in all new tile, I started researching the painting option, and let me tell you, there aren't a lot of positive stories out there. BUT I found this one (and one is all you need-right?), and I dove in. I applied a good bonding primer and a leveling paint in super thin coats over the course of a couple days. Then, I took a very small paintbrush and painted the grout grey. Now THAT task was as you might imagine, super tedious, like applying liquid eye liner for hours. Partyyy. After painting, we replaced the knobs and added pulls to the drawers and VOILA, a new kitchen for all my seven course meal prep. Anyone want some spaghetti?
