Last fall, we painted our kitchen cabinets and the walls!
It is AMAZING what a few cans of paint can do…
Want to see what our kitchen looked like before?!
Here is a peak:
(you can find a “before” post here)
(I am not too sure why that one cabinet looks like it is a different color, but I promise it wasn’t!)
Ross and I were amazed that the brick wall had gray in it!
The Gray paint really made it POP!
On the side a cabinet hangs this fun chalkboard for the littles to play with while I am preparing meals!
I bought a mirror from Walmart, , spray painted the glass with chalkboard paint and the frame white to match the cabinets!
This is definitely a hit!
And because everything in our house is centered around the kids,
Ross’s table from when he was a little boy is in the center of our kitchen!
(Of course I am DYING to paint it… but the Hubs said NO WAY!)
Isn’t amazing how a little paint can totally transform the feeling of a room?!
The one downside of our kitchen is that there is no space for a kitchen table…
But that’s ok because now I have a street lamp in the kitchen with a fun bench!
The street lamp was purchased at Lowe’s.
It was originally about $160 but we got it for $50!
Gotta love a great deal!
I am in LOVE with this gray and am thinking about painting our Master Bedroom in this color!
Doesn’t it have a cool, calming effect?!
Just in case you want to know,
Here are the paint colors we used in our kitchen:
“Essential Gray” Sherwin Williams #6002 (for the walls)
&
“Pure Whitet” Sherwin Williams #7005 (for the caninets)
Happy Monday!
So beautiful! How wonderful too to have that fabulous brick wall!! I LOVE IT!
It looks great. Love the yellow touches……including your sign.
Love, love, love this! I’m obsessed with yellow right now. Just added it to our master (it’s mostly gray, black, white just for the hubs!) Looks fantastic!
