I had plenty of time to decide on the paint colors. I looked at probably thousands of pictures while we waited endlessly for the closure process. I knew I wanted something light a bright to wash away the dark sad colors that were there, but I could never find the combination I wanted online. Yellow walls with blue-grey cabinets. I searched and searched but it seemed no one was doing it. So I went for it! My lovely mom, sister, niece and my friend Liz came to help and we transformed it on a hot and humid weekend at the end of June.
We made finishing touches with some curtains my mom had made me for a previous apartment which matched perfectly, some old spice containers from my grandma's kitchen and of course a hand crafted island table and bar by Adam. We picked up some used appliances from a local dealer and put up a shelf to hold my cookbook collection. Not bad for our "small remodel". It will definitely hold us over until we put in our dream kitchen in a few years!
