You can scroll through my ramblings and photos – but I need advice at the end!
A few years ago this was my dream kitchen inspiration.
I’m still very much in love with my original inspiration, along with these:
My plan from the beginning was to go dark on the lower cabinets, but once the counters went grey I started to rethink dark lowers…Would it be too grey? So I did what needed to be done – I photoshopped. Kind of poorly, I’ll admit. :)
All White – no photoshopping:
White Lowers with Benjamin Moore Sylvan Mist on the walls:
White Lowers with Benjamin Moore After Midnight on the walls:
Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal on the lowers and white walls:
(the kitchen cart is kendall charcoal)
Benjamin Moore After Midnight on the lowers and white walls:
Benjamin Moore After Midnight on the lowers and Ice Milk walls:
Can you tell I stumbled upon a BM color palette that sucked me right in? :)
So, let me just narrow it down. After doing the photoshopping These are my top 2:
I guess I can say that I am drawn to contrast. The windows are so big that I could definitely get away with going dark. And after looking through my inspiration, I think that a super dark navy would look really sharp. I really like the the kendall charcoal, again on the kitchen cart, but I almost feel like it might be a bit safe choice. Now I am a safe person, but part of me wants to go out on a limb and try something daring, and bold. I know, Is it really that daring? :)
And then part of me is telling myself to stick with white because it’s classic and might be better for resale…and then in that case, I could just go bold and sharp on the walls.
Ah…help please! Which should I go with?
And just for a quick update, for anyone that is curious about our fencing endeavors. We busted our butts and got a new fence up along the 140′ side of our property. It went much quicker than I thought and really wasn’t too bad, especially when you figure it saved us 4K. Now if only someone would give me that cash!!!

I like the grey walls!
p.s. strong work.
I like the gray walls, white cabinets. If you still aren’t satisfied once you’ve lived with that after a while you can always try option 2. I figure painting the walls are much easier than cabinets so try that first!
I like the light green with white cabinets, but I also like the grey with white cabinets. The grey looked a little heavy/dark but the color is really nice. I just like that green color. I feel like it draws attention to your nice big windows rather than the little strip of wall above them. Does that makes sense? Good job on the fence!!!
Dark walls with white cabinets!!! With the white trim and gray cart it looks so good!!! I mean sharp :)
Dark walls, white cabinets. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
