Kitchen With Green Cabinets

| My goal was for my kitchen to welcome people! I love the colour! |
Well, it is Finally done! Or, as done as it is going to be for awhile. There are some finishing touches that I will add over time, but for now my kitchen is done & I’m loving it! I took the time to declutter, delete things I wasn’t using and to really organize all the cabinets. You can click on this Link to peek if you want to see some before shots. I will be adding more before shots with information on what I did.
Everyday I walk into my kitchen and feel Happy! The colour of my cupboards makes me smile everytime I look at them! I love the wall colour…I was really going for that clean swedish look yet still be cosy! Our house sits on a heavily treed lot and is a challenge to me when it comes to choosing colour! But thankfully, I am happy with the results!
|
| Even on the dullest days in November my kitchen is still cheerful! |
|
| For a galley kitchen it is very spacious! |
|
| Okay, I realize my fridge looks messy…but beside it to the left is an area for your laptop and more open shelving. |
|
| I love my beadboard which I know is hard to see. In my next post, I will show more before & after shots. |
|
| I love my floating shelves! I bought them at Mardens for $10 each and only had to paint them white. They hold my new everyday dishes perfectly. The white glass cabinet is a work in progress. The inside is mactacked & I need to paint over it. Vintage 1970! |
I love my new yellow cabinet that I bought for $5 at a yard sale. It is a hospital bedside table which I painted. The Ikea shelves above I purchased on Kijiji for $20
We added new countertops & the microwave above the stove.
|
| This cupboard is one my brother in-law Paul built for me many years ago. I didn’t want to paint it as it had aged to a striking honey pine. But it didn’t look so good anymore in my new kitchen so I painted it this lovely yellow…which was actually a colour I had chosen for my cupboards but then changed my mind. |
|
| This dining set was given to us by my mother inlaw. However, we hope to paint it at some point as the top isn’t in such great shape. I had worried it would look to old & dark, but I actually like it! I love my vintage tablecloth. I’ve had it for years and only bring it out for Thanksgiving. So, I am enjoying using it on this table. |
Oh…I have to say a big thank you to my friend Heidi who took the photos for me! She is a great photographer and has a striking camera! All my pictures were dull looking! So Thank you!
