Kitchen: A Little Paint Goes A Long Way

  This post should actually be called "A Lot of Paint Goes a Loooong way"  I must say I am a girl that loves to paint stuff white... pretty much everything in my house I paint:  chairs, mirrors, lamps, cabinets, walls- nothing is safe from my paint brush!
  I usually do my own painting- in our last house I painted some rooms twice.  I used to find that listening to my favorite tunes and transforming a room was time well spent.  Being that our new house has so much wood work, Brian and I decided to have the two most used rooms painted by professionals.  Those two rooms are the Kitchen and Family Room and Brad and his team did an AMAZING job.
  My original plan was to paint everything white and cream.  I have loads of inspirational pictures of this on my pinterest boards.  I love the color (or lack there of) of cream and white- so calming and sophisticated, plus it is easy to update with new pop colors.
  On a trip to Miami I was completely inspired and changed the entire color scheme one week before we closed on the house!  I kept to white upper cabinets, blue-black lower cabinets and a pale blue gray for the walls.  Another feature that I am in love with is the grids on the windows and french doors are painted black.

Here are some Before Pictures of the Kitchen:

 While being painted- took 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of paint

Kitchen this week!  We will still do some updates but for right now- we are in heaven!
