I have an addiction to projects. It seems like I'm never satisfied with anything I do the first time, so I decided to paint the kitchen, again. I have a 1 year old, so I spend A LOT of time in the kitchen, and the green cabinets and mismatch chrome cabinet pulls / brass hinges were really irritating me. What was I thinking when I slapped semi gloss multi green shades on everything? The natural sunlight situation in this small space is poor, and the drab confines of the kitchen have to go now!
I almost forgot to take a before pic (please excuse all the clutter). I got excited and started priming before I pulled off all the cabinet doors. After removing all the hardware I started priming all the surfaces with 2 coats of "gripper".
After a couple days of contemplating colors I found myself drawn to this antique turquoise palette I found on Pinterest. Isn't it pretty!
I went with a behr shade called "silky bamboo" in satin sheen for the open cabinets, and "garden wall" for the closed cabinets. I figure having lighter, neutral cabinets will allow for a pop of color on the walls.
Replaced satin colored cabinet pulls with inexpensive ones closer to the hinge color.
I ended up changing my mind and painting the cabinet back dark brown.
