Don't wish for it, work for it.

Phew!!

it's taken me long enough but i think my kitchen is finally okay to show y'all. when we moved in the previous owners had a lot of green accents throughout the house so the kitchen color made sense with their design scheme (real estate listing pic).

when our stuff moved in, the color stuck out a little (and a bomb went off obviously)...

i debated and debated on what direction I wanted to go with the paint colors. i posted lots of pictures.  ultimately, i decided to go w/ my gut, even though it scared me, and go greige on the cabinets and a darker greige on the walls.  here is the picture that inspired my kitchen:

and now, here is my kitchen....and i can officially say i love her!

thanks so much for all of your help- for convincing me to take a leap and not stick w/ white.  i am one happy camper.  next on my list is to find a good, faded oushak rug to plop in front of the sink :)

i can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it makes me truly happy...
my kitchen is 99% done...i need to clean it up, hang some pictures, and squirt some mrs. meyers and it will be ready to go.  can't thank my dad and hubby enough for doing the backsplash and lighting this weekend!  hope y'all are having a wonderful monday...i can finally say i am :)

yea, yea

i know, i said i would show y'all this week but it's taking a lot longer then anticipated to get my kitchen back in order.  painting is done and my kitchen is no long bright green, and i think, i kind of like her :)  hope your week is going peachy!
