If My Kitchen Could Talk....

She would say... "I could really use a face lift!" Yeah I gave my kitchen a gender. Since she multitasks, provides the meals, and brings the family together, I knew she had to be a woman. So how about a name....hmm! How about Big Momma?!!! (hee-hee)

You know it always amazes me as to the things I get inspired by from other blogs. I was soooo inspired by the kitchen I saw on The Nester in her 31 Days of Lovely Limitations series. What did I get out of it, you may ask?!!! USE WHAT YOU GOT, BABY! Its a wrap!

So my kitchen has great bones. No need for a big over hall. Just some little enhancements that provide big impact, like painting the cabinets.



 I have my preferences as far as paint though:

via
 White....
via
Or Black...

I am really leaning towards white, but I know that translate to high maintenance.  But with the rest of my house being painted taupe, I know the black will fell really heavy, and I may get tired  of it more easily then the white. The white will give that light fresh feeling and serve as the relief from the res of the house?

Then again I could achieve the best of both worlds through a couple of different applications:

via
Two toned painted kitchen cabinets... I luuuv the pot rack and the cabinet hardware!

via
White cabinets and black counter-top....

via
White cabinets and black tile back-splash...

Now I know Big Momma could appreciate all of these. I just need to make up my mind and make some things happen to give her the face lift she deserves...finally! What are your preferences?

  2. You know I'm going through the same thing for my kitchen reno. I think I may do white uppers and gray lowers. I have these hideously off white tile floors that will look even more dingy next to white cabinets. Looking forward to your makeover!

  5. I'm thinking the white uppers and maybe a dark gray lower??? Either way...you just have to pick up that paintbrush and start doing it! And it is going to be a lot of work, but I know it will be fabulous in the end!!!
