By some means, although there’s a lot to behold in Tay BeepBoop‘s Victorian house, it feels balanced and straightforward on the eyes — a vibrant grownup playground proper within the coronary heart of San Francisco, California. I might go on for days about all of my favourite parts of the house, from the monster busts alongside the staircase and the fake greenery wall set up to the jewel-toned ceilings, however one thing that is likely to be simpler copied in your personal house, in my view? A squiggly, very whimsical set of painted kitchen cupboards, that’s, if you happen to’re courageous sufficient so as to add sample to this extremely seen prepare dinner house spot.
The joyful cupboards you see under didn’t truly include the house (shocker, I do know!), and the final time we toured Tay’s residence, her kitchen was nonetheless pretty minimal, as you may see above. On our return a 12 months later, although, she had added much more colour and character — kitchen included.

In comparison with the remainder of her kitchen, which is pretty easy and white, the pink and yellow cupboards make fairly a splashy assertion. Whereas this might be achieved in a renter-friendly manner with contact paper or peel-and-stick wallpaper, Tay went a extra everlasting route (since she owns the house) with paint.
Fortunately, she documented the method on Instagram for anybody trying to recreate this look in their very own house. First, she had a buddy mock up a digital rendering to hone in on the precise form and curvature of the squiggles she wished, then she caught up some paint samples to resolve which colours she was going to go together with for the ultimate model.
Lastly, she introduced her imaginative and prescient to life with vivid pink and yellow paint, which positively match the vibe of her house higher than plain white cabinetry. I’d additionally like so as to add {that a} gentle sanding earlier than portray (ideally with a sandpaper grit round 200) would assist the paint to stick even higher, guaranteeing no matter colour or sample you resolve to color your cupboards is there to remain for a while.
In order that leaves only one query: Are you daring sufficient so as to add whimsy to your kitchen cupboards, and if you’re, what colours and shapes would you select?
