House Work - Kitchen

As mentioned in the previous post, we again choose Honeymoon as our color, this time for the kitchen. The kitchen was hard to figure out, with the "orangish" cabinets, the multicolored countertop. The existing paint left an impression on us too.

Before:


Yes, it's a pretty small kitchen. Changing that closet to one with shelving will be key to having room for all my kitchen items. Not only is this kitchen smaller than my previous one, it doesn't have room for my "island cart", which stored my baking pans. I'm also losing the storage from the microwave stand.



This will be the eating area. No formal dining room in the house.



Such a bold color for a kitchen.

The after:


The color is a little darker than this shot shows. I'd call it gold more than yellow. We still need to throw up curtains (or something).



The cabinets look better, in my opinion.



This color is not true at all in this picture. It's a nicer view of the cabinet hardware that we switched out. We spotted these drawer pulls at The Great Indoors, but couldn't get anyone into that area to help find more stock. While waiting, I found them on Amazon for a couple dollars less. The next morning, I finally bought them at Lowes, for a further discount. Yea for clearance items!

I'm feeling really good about the kitchen, even with the space change. Check back with me once I try fitting my plates in the oddly shallow cabinets.
