After living in my house for more than two years, I am finally at a point where I want, and need, to decide about the kitchen cabinets. The baseboards and kitchen are the two things that didn't get painted before I moved in, and lately have begun to paint around the baseboards. Funny how you don't realize how many there are until you are down on your hands and knees, getting them painted!
My kitchen is L-shaped, and yes, somewhat boring and awkward in its placement, so the color scheme can't be too far off the rest of the look of the house. The open ceiling plan means the rooms need to flow together, as there are no good breaking points for paint colors to stop and start. It's taken me forever to find an idea on how I want to do this. And after hours and hours of perusing the internet, I think I've finally stumbled on to a plan.
As you can see in this picture, the lower cabinets are darker
than the upper cabinets.
I like that a lot.
Here's my kitchen as it looked before I moved in... the main back wall is now a creamy beige. (Isn't it funny how it looks so much bigger before all your stuff is there??)
Here are the colors I'm leaning towards right now. The darker tan on the bottom, the lighter on top. The red is an accent color that may or may not fit in to the scheme, depending on how it looks after the cabinets are painted. there are some very small half inch trim boards across the top of my cabinets that may look good with that red trim across it.... Gotta love experimenting!
Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions?
