Hi Friends!
How are you? I hope your week is going well! Diane reached out to me to her design her kitchen. She was very easy going and kind to work with. She wanted the kitchen design to incorporate as much teal as possible, and she wanted me to somehow add birds or nature into the design. I like a good challenge and went to work to create a kitchen that would be timeless, but also that would have the color and finishes that Diane would enjoy from day to day!
Searching to find bird tile is an interesting adventure…. many of them I didn’t like or should I say most of them I didn’t like, but I finally came across one that I loved. I worked from there to find a complimenting teal subway tile.
We wanted to go neutral but not white on the cabinets, and, I think, Classic Gray did the trick on her cabinets. Warm, neutral, but also timeless.
Here are the design boards for the products. As part of the design consult, you can just click on the links to order everything, but you’ll have to hire me for that option. :)
We did a really unique design on the back and side of the peninsula by adding custom made arches. I wanted to tie in the fact that the doors have a bit of an arch and also give a unique design feature as you walk into the room. I think this does both and I hope we’ll be able to do this in more kitchens across the Capital District!
Here are the before pictures:
We painted the kitchen main cabinets BM Classic Gray OC-23 and peninsula BM Gentleman’s Gray. We also added new hardware, crown molding (this made a huge difference in my opinion), built the custom arches for the peninsula, and sprayed everything with a protective clear coat. We also did the tile install and interior design for this project.
What an beautiful transformation!!

Could your kitchen use an update? We’d love to help!! We can help pick out colors, finishes, product and do the cabinet painting, tiling, add new hardware. You can use our Contact Us form to request our design services or a quote for painting your kitchen. Please check out other kitchen projects on our For Sale page. We’ll need to see a picture of your kitchen, a list of how many doors and drawers there are, and where you are located to email you an estimate. This change ups the value of your home and gives you a whole new look at a fraction of the cost of new kitchen cabinets!
