Here is where my kitchen cabinets started... (I felt like I was living inside a kashi cereal box...)
So, after all these gorgeous images... and several dozen gray paint swatches... I ended up using Ralph Lauren's Boulder Gray with a light glaze of Ralph Lauren Crosby in the cracks and crevices to create more depth. (pictured with old hardware...)
And here is the end product! (after many, many months!) Click HERE for the entire makeover story!
here is a view of the other side of the kitchen...
It's fun to reminisce about past projects, especially one as big as a kitchen remodel! I must say, I kind of miss it. Am I crazy? I keep lurking around my abode looking for more BIG CHANGES to be made, but nothing is as big as a kitchen (at least for me!) Anyone else as crazy as I am?
Hope all of the Abode Lovers out there have a great day!
Love!! I am picking colors to paint my kitchen cabinets - and I am totally leaning towards light gray on top and dark gray on the bottom. Thanks for sharing these pics because it totally inspired me to do it sooner!
ReplyDeleteOk, I am avid Abode Love reader that has never commented, but I must say that I ADORE your kitchen. We inherited a kitchen fit for a grandmother when we moved into our house last summer and I've been dying to paint the cabinets & update the hardware. Thanks for sharing....it's given me so many great ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove the gray color! I have also been wanting to paint my cabinets gray too! The stripes are gorgeous- truly stunning kitchen makeover!
ReplyDeleteI love the BM Fieldstone that was used in Sally Wheat's kitchen! Great collection of pics! I think grey is so much warmer than just plain white, more kid friendly, too.
ReplyDeleteI've been sort of looking for a big project, too, since our kitchen's been done. Thanks for sharing.
I don't blame you a bit for missing the kitchen project - I would, too. It's the pinnacle of home design. For me, anyway!
ReplyDeleteSally Wheat's kitchen is always to die for.
Love the gray! [but than again im a bit obsessed with gray]. Your kitchen is so awesome, I bet it seriously makes cooking that much more fun!
ReplyDeletei LOVE the grey! i am so impressed by your home...please come do mine next! :)

ReplyDeleteI am thinking about doing gray cabinets in my bathroom, now I'm sold!
ReplyDeleteI love the gray you chose. It's such a lovely color with the rest of your design. I also like the pictures you posted. Those are some good inspiration ones! Have a great weekend!

<3 <3 <3 !! If you're crazy, I'm just as crazy - I'm gathering ideas for my new project of kitchen remodeling in Northern Virginia and I'm so excited!!! I'm in love with the fifth picture down - I would LOVE to get an island with bar-stool seating AND the gas-range inlay. I love the tiling in your kitchen as well - I'm thinking about doing a fully retro 1950's style kitchen with yellow and robin's-egg-blue appliances...oh dear, I get giddy just thinking about it! Thank you for the post and all the great ideas! :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you think gray cabinets would look with my blue and white tile floor? I'm tired of blue cabinets and like the idea of a neutral. There's enough white in my kitchen already!
