New White Kitchen (Before and After)

After having red-painted kitchen cabinets for several years (and having my kitchen featured in a National Magazine) I decided I needed a lighter and brighter change.

Red cabs and buttercream yellow walls were changed to white cabinets and khaki walls. I love my "new" kitchen and this is a testament to the power of paint. Go Paint! :0

    Reading this again, actually I love both .....but I understand how you could get tired of red (or any color) after a few years. And I think we do get tired, and then maybe dont see our places through others eyes after so long a time. Until we take pictures, then....ooohhhh..lightbulb! I am wondering if the blue is new to replace the red wall , I love the color of the green platters and think a lighter green it would be so soothing and fresh back there on that dining room(?)wall.. what a nice change! good job.

    Bernice - it was a beautiful color indeed, but very limiting on what would go with it. I just needed a change. :)

    Barb, they are both beautiful. I am coveting that sink! If you don't mind, where did you find it?

    Patty - it has been quite a few years, but I Googled Hand Hammered Copper Sinks on Google and ending up finding a company in texas who exported them from Mexico. It's a beauty! :) Sorry I cannot remember the name of the company.

    WEll Barb I totally understand about change, I have to keep reminding hubs, this is my environment almost all day every day, he is here 2-3 hours at night..so when i say I need a change...I NEED A CHANGE! So we painted a wall this week, it was supposed to be a very deep teal, well it was NEON teal, I couldnt make myself get used to it. Now it is a sage ..and as you say..who knows what will happen a year from now?

    Oh, I'm so sorry. Paint colors can be so tricky. Those florescent lights they have at the paint stores don't help anything either. The good thing is that it isn't a major investment.

    What color of white did you use for your walls in your new kitchen? I also need to update the walls in my kitchen but don't want to paint the oak cabinets that I have. So I have to work around that. I also don't have very much natural light in my small galley kitchen. I love both looks. Good for you for changing it though. jc

    JC - I can't remember right off the top of my head. (I know, I know, I should know things like that huh?) :) I am out of town but will look on the can when I get home. The main reason I can't remember is that it took about 9 colors to get it right.

    Stunning job ~ ! I loved the red but can understand how one can tire of such a bold color. Terrific change by quite a talented gal ~ !

    Thanks Bonnie. That is very kind. Terrie, that would be me. :) Bernice, sometimes I miss the red but I am just loving the soothing white and cream and blue. Thanks everyone for your kind words and compliments.

    Your kitchen is so beautiful...loved it in white and the way it looks now in red, too. I'm a big fan of red myself. My kitchen and living room all have accents of it, my favorite color! When I get a chance I will be adding more pics to my HT page, too!
