Hi Friends!

How are you? I hope you are enjoying this warm weather and the fact that summer vacation is coming up quickly. As many of you do, I now start juggling full time mom and full time business owner. It can seem overwhelming at best on days. Mostly because I love being with the kids and I love what I do so doing both well feels almost impossible for the next three months. My goal is to give it my best and have lots of grace toward the kids and myself. I can’t wait to make memories with them and make homes beautiful one client at a time.

Thinking about updating your own kitchen? See our kitchen cabinet painting service.

For this week’s featured makeover, I wanted to share a kitchen cabinet painting job that we finished back in April. This kitchen took me some time to figure out the right colors and finishes for. There were a couple of things to think through when picking the color. Originally our clients wanted beige because the counter has beige and the tile is cream. But with the walls being beige, I felt like it would be to much. So, I thought it over and did some research and encouraged them to paint the walls a dark gray and then go with a light cream to brighten everything up.

Here’s the kitchen before:

We ended up painting the cabinet with Benjamin Moore’s Ballet White OC-9 and sprayed them with a protective clear coat. We painted the island Benjamin Moore’s Stormy Monday and glazed the island to give it more visual interest. They took the color Stormy Monday and darkened it to the next shade darker for the walls. I absolutely love the contrast.

We also changed out the hardware which made a big difference in this space.
