Cabinet Eye Candy

I first have to say THANK YOU so very much for all the sweet comments! All the hard work that went into painting the cabinets was worth it when reading the wonderful things people had to say.

I noticed there were a few “I’ve been thinking about painting my cabinets” comments so I thought I would share a few inspiration pictures and maybe encourage you.

I love the glaze on these cabinets.

The all white of this kitchen really makes it bright and crisp. I wish I had beautiful windows like that in my kitchen.

I love the sparkle of the subway tile backsplash, the more I see subway tiles the more I think it may be the backsplash for my kitchen. If this were my kitchen I would have painted the island black and switched the counter to lighter for contrast.

White on white, it’s just so clean.

I LUH-VE everything about this kitchen! The hood is just beautiful, the little cabinets at the top are soooo much better than blank wasted space and the black chopping cart I want!

The pops of color from the spring flowers really stands out against the white cabinets.

Are you brave? I don’t know if I’m brave enough to attempt this color on my cabinets but I think it looks so cheerful. There has to be something I can paint this color and not hyperventilate.

Black cabinets look great if you can pull them off in your space.

Hopefully you’ve picked up some inspiration, if so please come back and link up your projects (I’m a sucker for before and after pictures).

I’m going to tackle the bathroom vanity with a can of black paint, wish me luck!
