My step mom had given me her amazing Kitchen Aid before I moved to North Carolina. I have wanted one forever but they are so expensive! So needless to say I was overjoyed.
It worked beautifully and made my baking so much easier. There was only one problem with it. It matched all of the other appliances in my kitchen. And by that I mean it was white. I'm the kind of girl who likes color and my kitchen scheme is red so I decided it was time to beautify my favorite appliance.
Before it looked like this
(Sorry for the professional picture. I forgot to snap one before I took it apart).
I took the top off and found all of these wires and such.
I had to completely take it apart because I have a drop bowl style and not the one where the head tilts. The arms on mine slide up and down which makes it hard to paint. So I decided to take all of the pieces out and paint them separately. It was hell. I used a cheap spray paint at first and it looked horrible. I told my husband and he came to my rescue. He bought a new spray paint and did the rest of the coats for me. We had to sand them down after my coat. Then we had to wash them because birds pooped on them. And then we had to sand them again. And finally we got a solid coat that was the right color and it turned out like this...
The color is PERFECT!! My kitchen scheme is red so she looks amazing and adds just the right amount of pop.
Here she is complete with her bowl. I just love her to pieces!!
