Paint Home Decorating Before & After

Facelift using just paint and decor

7 years ago

Moving into Florida condo; I want to live in it a little while befor renovation decisions. For now, I want wall color ideas for maximum quick fix. Problem: great room kitchen cabinets ugly white flat Formica with subtle streaks of gray, while floor tile is off white with beige streaks. What paint colors could make this work?

Find a big area rug you love and pull wall colors from there. A light blue/green or subtle aqua is nice in warm climates.
