She wanted a change for the cabinets and what a difference a little paint makes...
Lately I can't get away from darker bottom cabinets paired with lighter top cabinets (you will be seeing more soon)...
Another thing I have been loving lately is the Essentials-Black, White, Gray Area in the Sherwin Williams deck. In particular these colors....
Being a long time gray lover I can't tell you how many colors I have tried over the years trying to find a gray that didn't go too blue or brown. My search ended here. The grays and the browns are so versitile, love love love.For more information on Paula's redo visit her here.
The colors you two picked are just perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteI am off to pout that I am too far away to join you and some other fab bloggers for a coffee date. xo
What a big difference! Behold the power of paint!!
ReplyDeletelooks beautiful! love the change :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help. I really am smitten with the outcome.
ReplyDeleteOooo, very nice!
ReplyDeleteWOW. It's amazing the difference paint can make!
ReplyDeleteGoooorgeous! I love the subtle contrast - what a dream kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a paint makes!
ReplyDeleteThose a great colors-dont you just love your kitchen so much more now!?
ReplyDeleteHoly cow do those white upper cabinets make a difference! Really helps show off the height of the ceiling rather than looking oddly chopped up with the maple cabinets.
ReplyDeleteHi Marianne,
ReplyDeleteHow would grey lower cabinets look with a black granite countertop?
Too dark?
it looks amazing, Marianne! really! I am smitten with lighter cabinets on top, too!
ReplyDeleteMarianne,
ReplyDeleteThis is a drastic change for the better! Unbelievable what paint and fabric can do.
I love the lighter cabinets on top also. It makes the kitchen seem more like a living area.
Have anice day.

The kitchen looks great! I have white appliances and was told that all my cabinets should stay white so the appliances disappear, although I love the darker look on bottom. What should I do? (small kitchen with acquired terracotta tiles)

loooooks FAB!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Looks absolutely amazing! {I am loving all the grays too.}
ReplyDeleteBravo x100. I absolutely love the change. I had cabinets exactly like those in my Seattle home. I had painted the upper cabinets to break up all the wood; it was a sea of the same color. I so love the colors you chose & am happy to get advice on the perfect gray. I love gray & plan to continue to use in years to come.
ReplyDeletePaula your kitchen is lovely. I will look forward to your guest post! Thanks for sharing ladies.

Wow, it really, really rocks.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't even look like the same kitchen.....but a much cuter cousin!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh!!! We so have to do this in out kitchen!!! I keep saving before and after photos to show my husband to prove the afters are ALWAYS better!! Thanks for giving me another pair!
ReplyDeleteLooks so great!
I did a similar paint job on my own kitchen cabinets and it really transformed the room. I like the darker color on the bottom and may try that in my kitchen as well. What a difference a little paint can make.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful makeover. I absolutely love the two different tones of paint on the cabinets. Simple, but stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I may need you to come over to my house soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! I love the 2 greys! Never thought of that before! What a difference the paint made!
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen cabinets are almost identical to her "before" ones. I'm stuck between wanting to go lighter or darker. Going light really works in her kitchen.
