All it takes is a fresh coat of paint and you have a new looking kitchen.
Once we completed painting the kitchen cabinets it was time for a change in wall color. I'm not that into yellow. Especially the yellow against those icky builders grade oak cabinets I had.
Here's a refresher course to what the kitchen previously looked like.
And,what the heck was one more coat of paint anyways.
I'm not digging any of those colors. I'm thinking more of a neutral color. Since my pops of color is going to be Turquoise/Aqua.
And the winner is Valspar's "Oatmeal".
It's going to look great against those "Chocolate Bittersweet" cabinets. I know it will be perfect, I stuck enough paint samples on the wall until "THEE ONE" jumped at me.
So, let's get started...
Huge improvement already, don't you think???
Here's a good one for ya. AHHMAZZZING what you find when you can see on top of your cabinets. I expected grease and grime but I wasn't prepared for this....
Loving that contact paper...LOL...It did clean up nicely. But, it's a good thing I don't see up there that's all I have to say.
I am so in love with my kitchen. A couple cans of paint and we have a totally new looking room. But, I will let you be the judge. Welcome to my "ALMOST" completed kitchen make-over.
Sorry about the lighting. Sometimes those sliding doors can cause havoc on photos. I'm open for photography tips ;-)
It's still a work in progress but as you can see from these before & after photos it's come along way.
Just a few more projects left in the kitchen and then I will have a final reveal. If you missed any of the previous kitchen makeover posts, don't worry. I got your back.
And if you are new and haven't seen the new home before we started all this you can see it here.
We will have a new look very soon here at GGP so make sure you come back and visit.
Don't forget to....

ReplyDeleteWhat a difference some paint will make! I'm in the same boat as you - we just painted our cabinets white and I am going to go gray {currently very light greenish} on the walls...will also extend that into our living room {currently brown/taupe}. I have pics of our updates on my blog, hope you will check it out. Newest follower from MTWC link party. www.styleoyster.blogspot.com
