I started with the bead board backsplash.
I chose a hexagon subway tile. I found it at Lowes. The style is the same but my tiles were all white. Then every now and then I would cut out a small square tile ands replace it with a colored glass tile.
Here is the kitchen with just the tile done.
Already a huge difference. Almost enough to stop there but I needed a little color. So I painted my Island. My front room is in Dark Turquoise (I{heart} Turquoise) and Burnt Orange. So I painted my Island the same color as the wall above my fireplace to help tie the 2 rooms together.
I love th Bright pop of color it as
I love the pop of color is brings to my kitchen. It is amazing what a little paint can do!
The last phase of my kitchen make over was the ceiling. Did you see the wood slat ceiling. I love the wood slats but the honey color was not my cup of tea. I thought that white paint would help brighten up the room. I also had 3 pendant lights. 2 were broken. They also broke your line of vision when looking into the kitchen.
So I painted the ceiling white. Took the Pendant lights down and replaced it with a ceiling light box that matched the bead board oven hood.
Here is my finished product.
So there is my kitchen. Maybe it will inspire you to create something great.
It looks great! Here is my question- how are your countertops so clean and empty? There is always stuff on my countertops and it seems like I have no where to put it. What do you do with everything and how do you organize it?
