See Our Lucky Green Kitchen Cabinets!!
I bet you already knew that my kitchen would not live all-white for long, Right? Ha!
My kitchen has long gone via quite a few makeovers over time. Just see for yourself:
The last time I shared my kitchen, which is the top picture on the left, is when I had just painted the walls white. I painted the walls white because after looking at my Pinterest Kitchen Board one day, I noticed that almost all of my pins were of all-white kitchens, and so I figured if I was so inspired by white kitchens then I needed an all white kitchen too.
I preferred my kitchen all white, at least for some time, however then I changed into beginning to crave color once more :)
So I determined to paint just the decrease shelves, and in reality, I had a few one-of-a-kind reasons for wanting to color my shelves;
1. white cabinets get super dirty, at least at my house, and I was getting tired of constantly wiping them down. I knew that painting them a darker color would camouflage the dirt better.
2. My decorating style appears to be evolving, and I be aware it increasingly as I'm on Pinterest. My Kitchen board is no longer of all white kitchens. Lately, I'm loving darker and moodier spaces. So all over again, Pinterest is accountable!
3. And let's just face it, I'm a paint-aholic!
The hardest part, as always, was choosing the new paint color. I knew I wanted to go dark, and after a lot of consideration, these were my top 15 color picks,
My husband, Jake, is the best at choosing paint colors, but his rule is that I have to first narrow my choices down to 5. So I believe I showed him 1 black, a couple of grays, and one wild card which was this blue-green. Maybe because the blue-green stuck out the most, that is the one Jake picked.
I'm a sucker for paint names, and so Lucky Shamrock seemed like a fantastic choice :)
Also, I'm positive I've stated this 100 times already, but Olympic paint simply is my absolute favourite logo of paint. Not an Ad, just my opinion :)
So after coats of paint with a few small touch ups, my kitchen is yet again, transformed!
I virtually absolutely clearly love this coloration. It makes me smile every time I stroll into my kitchen.
I think that this shade pairs sincerely well with flowers. I experience like collectively, you get an nearly tropical look.
(In case you are wondering, the faux lemon tree is from here. I do have a real lemon tree though, and I'm super excited because I'm starting to see buds on it).
There are a few things that I still want to change in my kitchen. Remember that my stove hood use to be wood? Well I'm thinking of sanding down the white paint to reveal some of the wood. I don't know how much of the white paint I'd be able to sand off, but even a distressed look could look pretty. We'll see.
Also, I assume I would possibly want to get a few new light fixtures and bar stools, however I simply cannot decide yet. These wicker lightshades (which I made from food covers) are so particular and possibly the bar stools just need a one of a kind material on them.
However, I do know that I want to do something to this wall in front of the bar stools, but I'm just not quite sure as to what. Wallpaper? Wood slats? Any suggestions?
And farther down the road, I'd love new countertops and wood floors.
Anyway, You recognise this isn't always the ultimate of my kitchen, Ha Ha
One day I'll have it just the way I need it, and never alternate it once more.
Or will I?
So what do you think of this new color?
Thanks for preventing through!
Peace & Love,
Emily
