Kitchen Painting Ideas?

I am moving into a house in a few weeks and the kitchen is very very small. The cabinets right now are painted white but have these awful flower stencils on them. I want to repaint the cupboards to cover up the stencils but I Don't want to be as bright as the white is. Any ideas what I can do to make it look more cozy but not super small. Right now one of the walls is a little darker then mint green. I'm thinking of doing a light caramel color on that wall.

Reply:once you pick your basic color go one shade lighter on the same swatch. As for the cab. be sure to remove the doors at least and paint them on a flat surface. buy the paint and use the same style brush as they recommend don't skimp on the brush or the paint. spray them if you can. Brush stokes will stay forever and hold finger prints and are a pain to keep clean. spend 5X the amount of time on the cabs. you only want to do this job once. as for the walls there easy to paint and a small space only takes time. Use a primer that will cover oil paints if your not sure what the old paint is. Sherwin Williams pro blocker is the best I have ever used. Always wash all surfaces with TSP and be sure to wash again with just water. you'll find TSp @ Sherwin Williams
Reply:Sounds pretty, but remember the darker you go, the smaller the room will appear. Go over the cabinets with TSP first to clean them. Then prime first. You might consider using a gloss enamel; more durable.
