We Painted Our Kitchen! ~ Before & After

Hey everyone!  Hope ya'll had a great weekend!  We were busy painting our kitchen and I am so excited to share some before and after pictures today.  I originally wanted Sharkey Gray by Martha Stewart...then changed my mind in Home Depot and chose Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore....then we painted half the kitchen and decided that it was too blue...SO we went back to Sharkey Gray...whew!  I am tired just typing that :)  We finally finished it all Saturday night, and I am so so happy with the results.  Here are the before shots...by no means ugly...but peach is just not my color. I think with the cabinet color, everything just blended together.  



Here is the after!  We have plans to paint the cabinets white, so I think this color will look really pretty once it's all said and done!





We got this ikea expedit shelf yesterday and I can't wait to style it and hang the chalkboard above on the wall.  I am thinking a cute little gallery wall would be great for this spot!




Hope you liked my little mini-tour of our kitchen - more pictures to come as we get settled in.

Have a great day!

  9. I love your kitchen! I'm so jealous of all your counter space. I think it'll look great with white cabinets and gray walls.

  11. The wall paint is nice but please don't paint your cabinets. The wood is so lovely and timeless. They look much higher end then white painted cabinets, and someday if you sell your house you will be happy you didn't paint. Try living with the wood cabinets for a few more months. :)
