it must be the season for kitchen makeovers, because after completing this kitchen makeover 2 weeks ago, the following week (last week), i finished this one. i absolutely adore gray cabinets, and was so excited when my client decided to go with this very soft gray from benjamin moore, called "graytint". i did a solid of the color, in a washable matte, then i did a darker, almost charcoal gray, glaze in the bevels. check it out:
the "before" shows the wooden cabinetry. very pretty, and high-quality cabinets, but they just didn't fit with my clients' beachy, almost-cottagey style. she loves distressed furniture, and has lots of pretty grays and blues throughout her home, so this new look was much better:
don't you love the new color with her freshly-stained dark java-colored hardwood floors? ah! so pretty.
here you can see the light glazing (of a charcoal color) that i did in the bevels:
you likey?
I really love this look! I live in Ohio and we've been getting estimates on painting our cabinets. I wish you lived in Ohio- I'd hire you in a heartbeat! If you don't mind sharing, can you tell me what I should expect to pay for our kitchen cabinets (of similar size) be painted and what questions I should be asking the painters? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! We're painting our bathroom vanity a light gray, and this color will now be on our list! Thanks, love!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Grey is so classic and very soothing.

ReplyDeletethanks, guys! val, as for pricing, it really depends on your area that you live in. also, the process will also depend on the type of cabinetry you have in your home!
ReplyDeleteI lovey! Definitely going into my inspiration file. I love the contrast of the light cabinets and dark floor.
ReplyDeleteYou rock again!
(I used one of your dressers in an inspiration board -- keep up the good work!)
