Kitchen Makeover

My boyfriend and I are repainting the bathroom and kitchen. We finally got a new floor in the bathroom and we are waiting to get a new wood floor and counter tops for the kitchen -please land lord hurry! Right now the kitchen is just cream. It's kinda boring and plain. I moved into my boyfriend's place awhile back and have been trying to make it cute ever since. It looks so "bachelor". Ugh! Once I make it pretty, I'll post a photo of it.

I love a room that's bright and airy. I am thinking of light color for the walls, probably blue and painting the cabinets white. The below photos are my inspiration.

This kitchen is so roomy. I love that table. Way too big for my place.

Our kitchen is more like this size- tiny. Aren't those bar stools so stylish?

Ooh, I love the bright breakfast nook next to the bay window. What a great place to eat breakfast or drink some coffee.

I love the bright yellow wall.

I think the light blue color in the photo from my Barbie's Dream Home post here would be perfect! What do you think?

  1. I can't wait to see the final result! I love white cabinets in kitchens...I have a white/mint green/pink color scheme in mine and do not think that I will ever tire of it!

  4. Who on earth does have a kitchen big enough for that giant table?? Maybe in fairy tales. But I love all the white with punches of color!

  6. Is wood flooring replacing the carpet? stools would be great for your counter then.
