Hey Buds!
So, we got the house,
and we're moving in!!!
(little by little until this weekend)
In the meantime,
Tanner gave me full range
to paint/scrape/etc!
So today, I'm painting some swatches
in the kitchen
to see what lightens up the place.
I bought my samples already...
here's the inspiration:
What I'm going for?
FOR NOW:
- White cabinets
- soft gray or super muted pale teal walls
- Brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze pulls
FOR LATER:
- Dark counter tops, probably laminate due to our budget
- Window treatment... still deciding on what to do...
- Light fixtures, maybe something that would work better for task lighting over the sink...
Anywho,
can you tell I'm excited?
Probably too excited.
Well, here goes my first home project!
Oh! And suggestions and advice are encouraged!
I'll be taking pics!
I adore all of your inspiration pics and know that some prettiness is headed your way. I used tips from This Old House on painting kitchen cabinets for durability and lasting results.
