Monarch Revival: Kitchen Makeover

DIY & Home Design· Room Reveals· The Monarch Revival

10 May

Here is the Monarch Revival: Kitchen Makeover. If you watched my stories, you know that this isn’t my end point with this space, but I’m REALLY happy with how it turned out until we do the full kitchen remodel. Savannah and Kyle flew out for 6 days to help me get started on this project and it was SO fun having them here. I miss doing projects with Sav! Before they came, Sav and I thought we had it all planned out with how we were going to do this, but then ended up changing it a couple more times, before we got the finished project. The white cabinets feel so fresh and clean and looking at these photos, I can’t believe where we started just 12 days ago!

    Absolutely obsessed with all your renovations, but this kitchen, by far, is my favorite!! Can you share what finish you used for the ultra White paint? Is it a specialty finish for cabinets?

      Hi! Thank you! I used satin sheen on the cabinets. 🙂

        My cabinets are black and I feel like I can see so many prints because they are satin… it’s like the prints actually stay even when I wipe down cabinets I’m not sure if it’s the type of paint or what …, any suggestions 😟

          Oh man! I don’t think I’ve had this problem! I just did a quick Google search and found that 50/50 water and vinegar can help. Test a small spot first! I’ve never tried, but I bet that would do the trick.

    This is probably my fave transformation you have done!

    What was your aesthetic goal when designing this space? It has your signature design style but I’m seeing hints of southern/Charleston flair and I’m loving it! Was this intentional?

    What sheen/Behr line do you use on the cabinets? Does one coat after the liquid sandpaper do the trick? Any sealing needed?
    Thanks!

      Hi Aimee! Yes I sanded the cabinets and the doors. I used two coats of Behr Marquee – Ultra Pure White.

    Where is the hutch from?! please don’t tell me it was a one of a kind find 🥴. I love your kitchen! It’s amazing!! Great job!!! Does the paint do well on the cabinets? Do you need to coat it with anything?

    What finish do you do for your cabinet paint? What are your prepping steps? I’m getting ready to paint my kitchen now and am a nervous wreck that I will regret it. Not the color change, but that the paint job will look poor.

      Hey Chelsea! I use semi-gloss or satin on cabinetry. Semi gloss is shinier but theyre both durable and wipeable!

    Mallory, I love all that you do! I’m looking back trying to remember what two products y’all tested for sticking the backsplash tile up, and which one worked. Can you remind me?

    How did you build your Islands, and did you order a custom size for your butcher blocks?

      No, we bought the butcher block and Kyle helped us cut it to size!
