Are you just loving painted kitchen cabinets? I've always loved them, and because our beach house has sooooo much wood, I was happy to include a painted finish in our renovation. Sometimes adding yet another layer of natural wood just makes a space feel too heavy. (I'm not opposed to wood finishes, it's just that the beach house house has a crazy amount of wood already)
We did a gray finish on our cabinets. I'll be so happy when the kitchen is finally finished -- we're so close, and so far away, and sometimes it feels a little disheartening. This week I have been re-staining the ceiling beams, and painting the pantry cabinets -- a wall of cabinetry opposite the one shown above, that won't be replaced until the next phase of the remodel. For now, we're just having part of it re-built, and giving the whole thing a coat of paint.
For inspiration, and to see what others are doing with gray, I've been exploring Google images. Here are a few bits of loveliness I've found.
Gwyneth Paltrow's kitchen. Love that the window trim matches the cabinet finish. And I love how rich the gray is.
The clean, modern lines, and the warm wood floors and stools really balance each other out in this soft gray kitchen.
Gorgeous kitchen! Love the more modern glass mosaic with the tradition cabinetry.
This eat in English cottage kitchen from the movie The Holiday is absolutely charming.
And, speaking of set kitchens, wasn't it Martha's gray kitchen that started it all?
Two different colors of gray cabinetry with the gorgeous texture of these rustic brick floors keep things from getting too boring in this Sally Wheat kitchen.
Sally Wheat's own kitchen, painted in Benjamin Moore's Fieldstone Gray.
More Martha Stewart -- she has the best stylists!
Gray easily goes from sweet to traditional to industrial to super chic!
Are you feeling inspired by all this gray loveliness? Or are you more of a natural wood person?
