As you know a couple of weeks ago I embarked on the seemingly endless project of painting our kitchen cabinets. Originally I had in mind to paint all our kitchen cabinets a creamy white and call it a day. However, I recently came across two photos that got me thinking about painting the upper and lower cabinets different colours.
If my kitchen were an outfit - this would be it:

Our kitchen is not very big, nor does it have any special architectural interest, or a beautiful window, or a big island, so if there was going to be a wow factor it had to be added through paint. These are the two gorgeous inspiration photos that I found.

Our kitchen looks closer to the second one - mind you without the amazing ceiling light, the 9-foot ceilings, and the marble counter.
I noticed that in both of the inspiration photos, they used a mix of metal finishes. I have been agonizing over what type of metal to use for the handles, so when I noticed that these amazing kitchens had goldish coloured handles, I thought I had at least better consider that.
It was a bit of a leap for us (well maybe more for me) but - who am I to question inspiration photos - so we put in burnished gold hardware. We tried the brushed nickel ones, but they seemed to disappear into the gray colour.
I did the last bit of painting of the kitchen cabinets yesterday, but have a few finishing touches to complete before I do the grand reveal. Photos coming soon - I promise!
