Cheery and Bright

Brighten up Your Kitchen

 

Lighting & Paint

A couple of new lighting fixtures and a fresh coat of paint will lighten up and embellish any kitchen.  Replacing old, dim and outdated fixtures, with new ones, gives your kitchen a new enriched feeling.

 

Solar tubes, they can brighten the dullest of kitchens, they are  tube-like skylights.  There small, easily installed and very economical - yet they generate a tremendous amount of bright light during the day.

On your next visit to the home-improvement center, take a look at them.

 

Walls and ceilings that haven't been painted for several years are probably ready for a bright new coat of paint.  It is usually wise to choose neutral colors and use gloss or semi gloss paints.  Avoid using flat paints. Do not paint just one wall, for then all the rest will look bad.

Lighting Upgrades

 

  1. Caned lights in ceiling
  2. Under cabinet lights
  3. New hanging lights
  4. Replace existing older fixtures with new stylish fixtures

Candles for evening mood lighting.

 


Bring a smile to their face

On weekends or when you know the home is going to be shown, set out a scrumptious looking desert from the local pastry shop. Place it where it is well lit, perhaps have a linen napkin, with a fork folded into it, a coffee cup and a small fresh flower near by. A beautiful pie looks great as well.

The message is that this is a kitchen and lifestyle anyone would love.
