1 Kitchen 5 Different Looks! The many looks of our kitchen and why I keep changing it.
Did you see my new Zen Kitchen Makeover???
If you did, then you may have read that I was planning on writing up a blog post showcasing the many different looks our kitchen has gone through, and explain a little bit about why I keep changing it. And so today, I'm going to do just that!
But earlier than we get began, I need to percentage with you what our kitchen gave the look of inside the beginning....The very beginning.
Once upon a time our kitchen gave the impression of this:
Yup! A friend of mine gave me some old pictures of our house that were taken at the time when her brother bought the house to renovate/flip it. You can see the rest of our homes before pictures HERE. This house has had quite some remarkable changes.
This is what the kitchen gave the look of after the big preservation and the way it looked whilst we moved in 5 years ago.
When we moved in, the kitchen was the very first room in the house that I painted. I painted all of the cabinets from that dark glazed cream color to a lighter cream color and then I painted the walls in Horizon Gray by Benjamin Moore. Here is how it turned out.
LOOK #1 FARMHOUSE KITCHEN
I called this look my "Farmhouse Kitchen" and you can see more of it HERE.
As you may word on this next image, when compared to the white refrigerator the cabinets were more of a cream coloration. Although they did appearance fairly white already, and that might be why I in no way blogged about it after I later painted them white.
LOOK #2 FRESH BLUE KITCHEN
There's actually quite a bit that had to happen first before myfresh blue kitchen reveal.
The first change was when I painted the tile backsplash white. And if you are curious as to how is has held up, well after two years, it still looks great!
The reason why I painted the tile within the first area was because the tile did not suit my style. I could have loved to put in new subway tile, but due to the fact I want to paintings with what I have already got, portray the tile white turned into the first-class option.
Once the tile was painted white, the wood stove mount really stuck out and looked a bit off, so I debated back and forth if I should paint it or leave it, and if I painted it, then what color should I go with? It was a whole thing...
So the second big change I made was when I finally just went for it andpainted the wood stove mount one day while my husband was out of town.
It lighted the kitchen up a lot!!!
But then I needed a new wall shade to go with all the bright white and so I picked this stunning colour called, Aegean Teal with the aid of Benjamin Moore.
It turned out amusing and colourful and I simply preferred it.....As a minimum for a year, and then that is after I went on a white paint kick. I painted our dwelling room and eating room white, after which I idea to myself, "good day, I assume I'll paint the kitchen white too!"
LOOK #three ALL WHITE KITCHEN
I really didn't even blog about painting our kitchen white, I just shared a few pictures of it in our Summer Home Tour. At that time I also painted the wicker lights and switched out the fabric on the bamboo stools.
This all-white kitchen truthfully only lasted a few months and then I was craving color again big time. Pinterest was totally to blame for sure, I just kept seeing colorful cabinets and so I wanted to paint mine too.
LOOK #four LUCKY GREEN KITCHEN
I picked out a glad green coloration referred to as, Lucky Shamrock by means of Olympic paint.
However, I felt like once I painted the lower shelves, the hood mount felt off again. Like it simply did not belong within the room anymore. So that became one cause for re-portray our kitchen.
The second motive for repainting our kitchen, became when I painted the cabinets inexperienced, I did not suppose I had to top over the white paint. But as you could see from the scratches inside the next photo, I certain did. Oops!
So again, just a few brief months later, I repainted our kitchen cabinets once more, and yes, I remembered to high them first this time. And if you are involved, a weblog post on how I paint my kitchen cabinets is coming quickly.
And so now this brings us updated with my modern-day kitchen makeover.
LOOK #five MY ZEN KITCHEN
I think painting the stove hood mount was a good idea. It feels like it belongs in the room again. I also painted around the windows which surprisingly made a huge difference in the room.
This new charcoal coloration is known as, Wrought iron by using Benjamin Moore.
And again you can see more of this recent look HERE.
I certainly do not plan on repainting this room again whenever quickly. I experience like I even have finally come to a peaceful area with my kitchen.
And Now, just because I'm super curious as to what you think. Which of our kitchen looks is your favorite?
