THE RECENT TREND OF DARKER LOWER CABINETS keeps PULLING ME IN….
OUR UPPER AND LOWERS ARE BOTH BENJAMIN MOORE “MOUNTAIN PEAK WHITE ” which is a color which works great with standard white subway tile.
Our KITCHEN ISLAND IS GOSSAMER BLUE
STILL I am intrigued
WHILE I still worry that it might Dwarf our kitchen…. THE ENTHUSIASM IS Catching AND I LOVE THE LOOK ..PAINT IS RELATIVELY CHEAP AND A Color trend like this, CAN BE AN AFFORDABLE makeover if you just do the painting yourself, AND Is a great way to UPDATE a kitchen which may be lagging behind the times…..or just needs a little PICK ME UP!!!!
HERE Are some BEAUTIFUL Examples which could transform yours!!!
SO MANY KITCHENS SO LITTLE TIME!!!!!
we are VISITING REHOBOTH BEACH IN DELAWARE FOR THE FIRST TIME! It is beautiful and the weather is amazing!!!
HAVE YOU BEEN HERE??? And if yes, did you have any favorite places to go….things to so and see…food you ate..things to avoid???
it is a big week ….Thursday is my BIRTHDAY THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!!!!!!
Happy birthday..almost! We have just decided to paint our cabinets ahead of our move. I want black on the lowers and white on the uppers.
I have not been to Rehoboth in many years. My family used to rent a big old beach house when I was little. It has really changed in recent years but I think there are good restaurants to be had. I can’t say the same for OC, just a bit further south though.
I also like kitchens with low darker cabinets, although my cabinets are all the same color. I decided I’m gonna ask you a question that you can answer me I’m sure. This is something is “bothering” me for not knowing the answer.
When I see pictures or movies with american kitchens (as some of those you show us on your post today) they have the cook and above the cook there is the microwave – there is no chimney or other appliance to expel the smoke. Is that correct? Does it work that way? Sorry for bothering and thank you in advance for your time. XOXO
The microwave is vented to the outside through the wall behind.
And the smoke and steam from the cooking on the cook? Sorry for insisting, but I need to know all (kidding). XOXO
My microwave has a fan that sucks out any smoke or steam. The fan has a metal filter over it which I run through the dishwasher once a week to remove any grease or dust build-up.
Thank you so much! I’m clarified now. XOXO
I love the lower cabinets in the first picture. Can you tell me what colour that is? I want to paint my cupboards and knowing how much work it is I really want to get the colour right this time? Thanks. I love your blog!
I love color when I see it in someone’s home but whenever I try it I end up changing it. I tried a dark green on the walls in our master bedroom thinking it would look gorgeous with the bedroom furniture my husband handmade. What a hassle painting over it……primer and painting again. it’s happened several times since in different rooms. Knowing my history I just went with basic white shaker cabinets in my kitchen when we renovated it. We are very budget conscience so I went with a classic. When I look at home decor magazines I am always drawn to the rooms with color. Why can’t I live with it then??? I sure could use an answer to that.
