We are getting new flooring around here since our fourteen year old carpet has reached the point of no return. And, as is often the case, one project creates the need for more. Our 1976 kitchen cabinets combined with the new flooring will be way too much wood, so it's time to get creative. One day we dream of new cabinets and counter tops altogether. In the meantime we feel comfortable trying to update them ourselves.
The plan is to paint the bottom cabinets and the pantry. We will tear out the upper cabinets and put in shelving to try to open up the dark corner of the kitchen where we do most of our cooking prep. We will keep the light gray color of the back wall (the wall with the kitchen sink is actually tan, but will be painted gray). We are going to leave the one cabinet above the stove since that hides the hood ducts. The lovely 1976 tile counter is staying put, so our new cabinet color needs to look good with that and the flooring,
Here is the counter top, the new flooring and the paint color choices (with links so you can look at a bigger color swatch on your computer screen)...
1: Basil Chiffonade 2:Terrain 3:Hummingbird Green 4: Patina 5: Dark Jade 6:Teal Motif 7: Verdant Forest 8: Hostaleaf
I like all of them...I really like too many of them. And I would really, really love to hear what you think.
Would you mind taking a minute and letting me know which color you think works best please?
