Paint Yourself Into a Corner

"Changing the paint color in your kitchen is an inexpensive do-it-yourself project. You can repaint cabinets for an instant update, instead of discarding them.

A snappy hue can make your kitchen bright and beautiful." —Nathan Turner, author of Nathan Turner's American Style: Classic Design and Effortless Entertaining (Abrams)
