My Very Own Kitchen

When I was house-hunting, I knew I wanted a nice kitchen. I enjoy trying to cook, 'trying' being the operative word. Here are a few more 'before' and 'after' pictures. In my previous posting, I talked about the huge sink and wall tile. I loved both. But the seafoam green color was over the top, especially since the ceiling and some of the light fixtures were painted the same color. This first picture shows 90% the kitchen storage space (other than the pantry).
I decided that I wanted warmer earthy colors in my house, but I couldn't figure out what colors would go with the cream, seafoam, and black wall tile. I found a natural cherry wood stain that I loved. It took me about a month to make that decision. I chose a cream color on the walls to try to tone down the green.

And now, the kitchen is my favorite room in the house. Every part of that kitchen is something that I picked out, so it really is my Very Own Kitchen. It's a great feeling!
