My Fresh New Blue Kitchen Reveal
Yesterday I shared the story behind choosing a new color for our kitchen, and today, as promised, I'm back to share more pictures of the room with you.
So just a brief update if you neglected any of the post leading as much as this one.
I painted the wood range hood mount white - Post Here
I also painted the tile backsplash white - Post Here
And then I painted the walls from Benjamin Moore/Horizon Gray to Benjamin Moore/Aegean Teal - Post Here
And certainly, Here's a before earlier than, that is how the Kitchen appeared whilst we first moved in:
What a distinction a couple cans of paint can make, right?
I have a ton of pictures to share so I'm going to try to keep the chit chat down a bit, and welcome you to take a look around. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in a comment below.
I had originally planned to replace my wicker (food cover) lamp shades with something else, but in the end I really felt like they belonged in the room. Plus, you all know I have a thing for wicker :)
When I shared a picture of my kitchen on Instagram, I got quite a few comments about my bamboo stools. They were actually a yard sale find that I made over and shared in this Post.
Speaking ofInstagram, a few friends and I are hosting a #HomeYouHave challenge. The challenge is to restyle a spot in your home using ONLY items you already own. The point of it is to inspire you to fall in love with your homes without feeling pressured to buy anything new to achieve that feeling.
This week's Challenge is Kitchens, so if you want to play along you can by sharing your kitchen using the hashtag #homeyouhave. Be sure you are following me onInstagramfor more details. Every Monday we announce a new challenge, and every Sunday we pick a favorite to share on ALL of our feeds.
It's definitely amusing, you should play along.
With that said, I just want you to know that I re-decorated our kitchen without buying anything New. Even the paint was leftovers from another project.
I did say I was going to keep the chit chat down, proper? Ha ha! I supposed any longer.
The personalized photo magnets from Tiny Prints are still a favorite of mine. See more Here.
I know it's a bit hard to tell, but I removed the curtains I had before and opted for vinyl blinds that I had custom cut at Lowes. These blinds actually made a big difference in the room. Not only do they give us the privacy we were needing, but by removing the curtains the window just looks so much bigger and clean lined now. We are really liking the new blinds.
Oops, I wager I did purchase some thing new for the room, The blinds, and a pineapple :)
So that is my Fresh New Blue kitchen!
I desire you enjoyed the tour.
Thanks for preventing through,
Emily
