This kitchen has been several years in the making. The paint color, lights, and flooring were done in 2020 when we renovated the main floor. At that time we also added the cabinetry in the pantry and my plan was always to use that color in the kitchen when I finally updated the rest. I just got divorced and decided it was time to finally finish. I did pretty much all of the work myself. My friend did the under sink plumbing for me because I went from a double sink to a single. And then I had the OTR microwave installed because I was just tired (the installer actually broke my glass cooktop, in case you notice that in the photos). I also updated the counter and backsplash in the pantry to really make it cohesive. I get that my colors aren’t for everyone but I love it.
lavenderblue It’s a bit wild that I changed my kitchen from the same color red to the same color blue.
Obviously, I love it.
A few months ago, I also pulled the same blue (but darker) into the living room and this weekend added curtains with a yellow in the fabric pattern. I am so pleased with how all of the colors work in the house.
I was walking around and thought “Gee, the colors look great but should I have taken the opportunity and just done really muted tones everywhere- like grey & white?”
Seeing your kitchen reminds me of why I love what I picked.
