The Year of The Kitchen

The kitchen....ooohhhh, the kitchen.


I was starting to hate it..


I was thinking:

"Why did I paint the bottom cabinets gray?"  (answer: because I like gray it's my favorite color)


"Should I re-paint? Just do the bottoms white like the tops?"  (ummm...NO!  The whole reason I chose that countertop is because of the gray.)


"Do I really want those reclaimed wood floors?"  (Not really...but they are free. So tough noogies.)


But then?


I went to decorpad and saw this: 

Ummmm....hello?  It kinda looks like what I want this place to look like:

And if I'd just get going, it would be exactly what I want!  I found a photo of a kitchen with the dark grout I think I want:

And maybe I don't want big diamonds on the floor?

Maybe I want darker wood....like Anne Turner Carroll's kitchen?

 

Or maybe like this kitchen with a similar color scheme to mine?

I'll take that fridge, too, thankyouverymuch.

And look at this kitchen:

 

And this one!

I like 'em all and they all have gray cabinets.

So, now I'm back to feelin' it, sisters.

And I need to take it one step at a time.  

My first step?  To scrape the walls.  

I'm going to do it on Sunday.  I promise.
