Kitchen Love >>>>

I’m planning on redecorating our kitchen soon, so I’ve been gathering inspiration. Our kitchen is pretty tiny, and being a rental, I can’t complety re-do it.. .as much as I’d love new cabinets. I’m toying with the idea of painting them too. Have any of you ever painted your cabinets? Ours are ancient, and I’m sure a coat of paint would give them a new lease of life.

I’m leaning to a bluey/green colour for the walls, right now it’s yellow. I love bright cheerful colours. New curtains for the windows and for the space under the sink and I’m hoping it’ll feel like a brand new kitchen! I just wish I could magically make it larger at the same time! I long for a huge farm house kitchen, complete with a giant wooden table where we can spend most of our time. One day.

I love decorating so much! I’ve already done the bathroom this year, the living/dining room will be getting a coat of paint at some point too and perhaps the bedrooms.

    We painted our cabinets when we first moved in because we couldn’t afford to replace them. It is a lot of work, but so worth it. Changes the whole look of the kitchen, I am so happy we did it. I love all of your pics above, especially the one with all the mixed tiles. So pretty, beautiful inspiration!

    I too would love to see some kitchen before and after shots, our kitchen is pretty old too…I really want to paint or cabinets too and add some neat little handles :) I can’t wait to get stuck in and decorate it, but we’ve still got our bedroom and the bathroom first! I’d love to know how you go painting them, if you end up doing that! Good luck with the decorating, I love the last green kitchen ;)

    I’m hoping to paint my kitchen soon as well and add a backsplash. This definitely gave me some great ideas. I love those aqua blue walls!
