Kitchen

Before.  Lots of brown, yellow, and copper!  Not to mention the floral wallpaper at the top.


After.  We painted the walls Pebble Gray (a Glidden color, but color-matched to Sherwin Williams, eggshell finish) had Blue Pearl granite countertops installed, had the cabinets painted Pure White by Sherwin Williams (semigloss finish), installed a cute backsplash from Lowes, spray painted the knobs satin nickel, and put in a new flat cooktop!  And my dad gave us a nice new brushed nickel faucet.  Dan also added an instant hot water dispenser for me, so I can have hot chocolate on demand!  We still want new floors but I'm not sure what kind.

Any suggestions on window treatments?  That window is OLD and in bad shape!  I have thought about putting in a privacy glass block window, since it just looks out at our neighbor's fence anyway.

  3. What a huge improvement Lane! The cabinets and walls look great. I love the backsplash. What color did you go with on the cabinets??

  4. The cabinets are "Pure White" by Sherwin Williams in semigloss. In comparison to our white appliances though, there is the slightest hint of yellow in the cabinets. I wish we had gone with more of a blue-based white, since the dishwasher kind of stands out more now.
