Same kitchen, new finish
The before photograph shows the kitchen as it was: cherry-stained doors and drawer fronts, glass-front upper cabinets with interior lights, and a stainless refrigerator. Nothing structural changed. The same clock, range, crown, and recessed lights appear in both frames, which is how a before and after should read.
The doors and drawer fronts came off and were labeled, degreased, sanded, primed, and sprayed in light gray. The frames were finished in place. The glass uppers kept their glass; only the painted surfaces changed.
