Choosing a New Color for our Kitchen
A room can appearance a million one-of-a-kind ways All relying on what coloration you choose to paint it in.
I've cited this earlier than and I will point out it again and again and again,
Choosing a brand new paint colour frustrates the daylights out of me!!
How about you?
But I did, I found a new color for our kitchen! You may have already seen it if you follow me on Instagram, but if you haven't seen it yet, I want to wait until the end of this post to share it with you because I want to give you the run down first of how I chose the new color.
So shall we start at the beginning lets :)
So that is what our kitchen gave the look of final year:
And as you probably know, in January I painted the tile backsplash as seen here.
And then in February, I painted the wood range hood mount white, as seen Here.
And now that it's March, I desired to offer the partitions a new shade.
Ha Ha, I did not realize until now that I had a brand new kitchen assignment each month.
So Anyway, the color on the walls before was, BM Horizon Gray and I like it, it's a pretty green gray, however I just wanted something new. So the first color sample I tried out was Valspar - Seashore Fog (seen in picture above) It's the same color as our Master Bath. I love it in our bathroom, but felt it was too light in the kitchen.
So moving on, I hit up Pinterest for some inspiration and found a lot of white kitchens that had navy lower cabinets. Here are a few of the examples:
And of Course there's Emily Henderson's Kitchen that changed into featured in Good Housekeeping
There is just something about this look that really excites me, and so I was thinking of paining my kitchen an almost white color and then paint just the island wall navy.
But as soon as I got a sample at the wall, I knew it wasn't right for my kitchen. I know it would not appearance all that bad in the image, however it simply didn't sense right in the room. You get me, proper?
And then another color popped into my head, Benjamin Moore - Limecickle.
It became a shade I used inside the grasp tub of our vintage residence and loved it.
It's just a honestly pretty, light and brilliant limey shade, and I thought it'd genuinely brighten up our kitchen.
But as soon as I got it up at the wall...... Yuck!
So as you may see, this is why I find deciding on a paint coloration to be so irritating!!!!
So I went down to our basement where I keep all of our paints to browse for some more samples and I found a can of this:
Benjamin Moore - Aegean Teal
A family friend, who is a designer, was helping to remodel my husband's law office a few years back, and he used this color as an accent wall in the conference room. I had some leftovers of the paint sitting in our basement and so I thought I'd give it a try.
I really loved how the white popped next to the blue. I liked how it was still a dark blue like my Pinterest inspiration pictures, but just not as dark. I liked that it felt fresh. I liked how it blended with the living room color. Oh my gosh, I liked it! Ha Ha! So I went for it!
So with out further ado, permit me proportion with you the brand new color of my kitchen.........................
Ta Da!!!!
I Like it a lot!
So we could look returned at what it looked like before, we could?
What a distinction, Right?
Now I subsequently feel like this kitchen is my fashion, and it flows a lot higher with the rest of the house.
Stay tuned, I'll be back the following day to share greater pics of our kitchen.
Thanks for stopping via,
