The picture above is our kitchen before any paint, the painters were doing their prep work when I took this picture. The cabinets had a faux finish oil based stain on them and looked a tan/beige color.
This picture is after the cabinets were painted antique white, so much brighter.
This is what the kitchen looked like when we selected essential gray as the wall color. It looked lavendar, so we went back to Sherwin Williams to try again.
This color is Earl Gray and we like it much better, it looks a little darker in this picture than it really is now that it is dry.
The island is now stained Ebony, but this was a picture I took while the work was in process.
I wish we could say we had a lot of time and talent to do this ourselves, but we didn't. We've been lucky to find a lot of great contractors to come out and help us. More home project posts to come.
