Do you REALLY love your kitchen color?

You wake up, get out of bed, head into the kitchen for that first delicious morning brew and you see this …

VERY bright “in your face” color. 
Is this how you want to start your day?

Or, you went with the “trend of the year” and now it looks like it belongs in a Barbie Doll house.

Or, you decided on a white kitchen, which is fine, with a splash of counter color but you chose the wrong blue for the walls. Bottle of milk instead of that cup of coffee? Yup, you just turned your kitchen into a nursery.

Oh the things you need to think of when choosing color for your kitchen. And it's more than just wall color. You have to consider counter tops, cabinets, flooring, lighting and the list goes on and on.




Cherry cabinets? Go to it's complementary color and soften the edges in your kitchen. Green is a great color choice for your kitchen - but - you have to be careful not to choose it too minty or too pea green.



Love the silver/gray look for the kitchens that have stainless. They were just meant to be together.


Want to be a little cozier? Play off the colors in your granite
Doing that will really tie in the look.


Like a white kitchen?  Or maybe just a little? Try a very, very pale blue but make sure you have enough gray in the blue so you don't get the “nursery” look again.
