I finally painted the cabinets! Well not just me, but me and the Mr. I could not be anymore excited about the outcome. The before is here in case you needed a refresher. It took one night and a full day. We used a sprayer for the doors and Kellen hand painted the rest. The colors I used were Warm Stone by Sherwin Williams for the bottom and __________ for the top by Benjamin Moore but was colored matched by Sherwin Williams. Marianne came over and helped me narrow down my color choices. Let's just say I had a hard time making up my mind and she came to the rescue in a huge way. Did I happen to mention that I am one happy lady?
Wow! The contrast between the upper and lower cabinets is incredible-not to mention sophisticated. Y'all did such a nice job. It makes me wish I had my big, nice kitchen in Charlotte so I could revamp it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the kitchen re-do and on your recent birthday celebration! It looks like this year is already off to a wonderful start.

ReplyDeleteWow, it looks fantastic! We currently have wooden cupboard (much like yours) and I'm toying with painting them to get rid of the '90s country cottage' feel.

Looks great Paula! Maybe one day I will be able to see it in real life one day. We are coming in town at the end of October for a week. Shall we have a game night?
ReplyDeleteNice Blog! Wanna follow each other?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you've inspired me to attempt to paint mine. Did you do any sanding? The sanding part is what prevents me from starting mine up. Lovely color choices!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the color of cabinets, and I was going to say that even before I learned that you just painted them. Plus, I'm jealous of how big your kitchen is.

ox, Mon
love the grey...might get mine painted now, but only due to the overflow upstairs that caused a leak in the kitchen ceiling...how 'bout that silver lining! :)
ReplyDeleteCame out Great! love the color!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same position as a lot of your readers...wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets but a bit fearful. Could you explain the process? How is the paint holding up? Would love to hear all the juicy details!! Thanks and your kitchen looks amazing.
