So by now you know that the kitchen is the next thing that is on my attack list, I wanted your input and ideas on what colour to paint our kitchen. I have always wanted them to be white with brushed aluminium bin pulls for the drawers and the same type of small knobs for the doors.
This kitchen does it for me. As our Old Lady (home) was built in 1886, I want it not to look state of the art and streamlined, but loved, lived and to be sympathetic to her age.
This is our kitchen (on a renovating day, so untidy..sorry). As you can see we have 70's style wood doors to disguise. They are in great shape, so we will just paint. Counters are staying for now (I would love soapstone) and are mainly white with a grey speckle through them.The tall cupboards (four of them) are our pantry (2 doors near fridge), glassware and white ironstone storage (2 doors closest to you). The pantry one will have rectangles cut out in them and fly wire put in the back to make a old looking pantry, and the next two will be black chalkboard paint (the phone is right next to them).
For the short term the old oven will stay, but we have been thinking of getting a new one that looks old to put in the fireplace. We are still deciding as that means we have to get rid of the ancient cast iron fire/oven...hhhmmm! One thing is for sure, there will be plenty of wicker baskets about. Also I would like to re do the centre island to include maybe shelves and drawers.So.....
...do we paint the kitchen doors white to show up our old Tasmanian Oak floorboards, or...
black?Like Layla's kitchen, or do we go a soft shade of grey (which I have been thinking after seeing Brooke's kitchen, like the colour of my blog)???
I really want it to tie in with whats in the living area as it all flows through. Our lounge will be covered in a linen colour and the curtains might be a little darker...oh help.
Why is so hard to do your own home?
Thanks in advance lovelies.
