Like bathrooms, we think that people often neglect their kitchens when it comes to paint.  This is especially true in smaller apartments.  Despite common perception, though, a blast of color can actually make your small kitchen look bigger…or at least more interesting.

Check out this small, bland, white kitchen.  All you really notice is the junk on the countertop and everything else is whitewashed right out.

Shades of beige/mocha are always an easy kitchen solution. We added definition to the small space by painting 3 different shades- 1 for the doorways (which happens to be a closet and the main entrance to the apartment), 1 shade for the kitchen area, and another shade for the ceiling.

Here, the same multi-color approach, but warmed up in spicy colors.

You can even add definition to the plain white cabinets with a thick stripe of chocolate. (It’s also a good idea to upgrade the cabinet handles, too)  Check out these tips for painting your cabinets.

If you have the time (and money), for a whole new look, consider new cabinets. A nice dark walnut is modern, but not too trendy. Muted blue makes the whole kitchen feel very “adult” and also calm. Note the dark brown painted door to match the cabinets, crown molding and a drama-ceiling.

But I wouldn’t ever give my credit report to an employer because its illegal for them to ask for your credit report even if the company is not a scam. Because its their reponsibility to get them not yours and because of identity theft. Think about it in what company that is not a scam do they require the applicant to get his or her credit report to obtain employment?
