Idea for Kitchen Cabinets
By terryswalerOur rental house was trashed from the tenant we had to evict — so we had to do some major work on the house especially the kitchen — but couldn’t afford to replace cabinets, etc. So — here was my solution. I painted them with roosters.
I found these cool dishes with roosters on them from Sam's Club and took them as inspiration. Also -- I am currently in love with Clarice Cliff pottery. You can see it in the bungalows and trees in the background.

Wow. Your next tenant is so lucky! I expect the painting will attract the kind of person who will take good care of the place, too.
An inspiring transformation - thanks for sharing it!

Ooooh -- a talented artist?! <laughing> I wish.
Seriously -- these are so simple. Just acrylic paints and copying from the picture. I painted the cupboards blue...then with white with a little yellow mixed in -- I sponged the clouds until I liked them...then added green for the background - then traced the rooster over it. Very simple.
The only thing that I did additionally was go to a craft store and get the spray polyurethane that's glossy and protects the paint from the sun's rays. If you want I'll dig it up and tell you exactly.
If I can do it, trust me -- ANYONE can do this.
