I know what you’re thinking?! Didn’t she just paint her kitchen a new color, um yes I did, but believe it or not it’s been a year. I used that to justify my new color. I wasn’t even planning on painting the kitchen, and one day while I was walking into the kitchen I envisioned it being light gray. Out of no where the thought just popped into my head. With all the white and warm wood, and grey tones, it seemed like it just went better. Here’s what it looked like before:
Sometimes in design it take a few times before you get it right. You have to be willing to take chances, and try new things until it fits just right. For me, this was so true in the case of the kitchen paint color. And I’m so glad I didn’t talk myself out of it because I had just painted the kitchen not too long ago. The key to “Loving the space you Live in” is to truly Love everything in the space. Sometimes you can like something a lot, and love some other things, but if you love everything in your space, than it feels truly complete. If you caught my home tour at Beneath My Heart yesterday than you got to see a few of these photos already, and if you haven’t visited Traci’s blog yet, be sure to stop by and say HI!

Your kitchen looks fabulous! I love your glass canisters! I’ve been looking for some but can’t decide on the size. Are yours 1-gallon or 2-gallon?

Your kitchen is lovely but I had to laugh because I just painted over gray owl with horizon because I wanted the hint of blue!! LOL!! Love what you did with your space. It is a most inviting kitchen!!

Your kitchen looks awesome! I love that even with the neutrals there is lots of texture and interest. I just painted our main floor half bath Benjamin Moore Grey Owl and love it. It is a room with no windows and little natural light from the hall and I too was tempted to cut it by 50% but tried it as is and I’m very happy with it. You are so right about some paints looking different at certain times and sometimes it isn’t until you live with it for a bit that it is more noticeable. Thanks for sharing photos of your lovely room.
