Phase 1 of our kitchen makeover is finally complete! The cupboards and walls have been painted and as usual, it is amazing what a little paint can do.
I don't necessarily have a theme in my kitchen but I knew that I wanted it to be reminiscent of blue mason jars. My original idea was a paint color that was a lot lighter than what we ended up with, but I really, really love it!
Cody has a torn labrum in his shoulder and is having surgery on February 21st so he had no business doing all this work while he is in so much pain. But when he gets going on something, there is no telling him no!
He made the ultimate decision on the color of the paint. It is called Teal Lake from Glidden at Home Depot. I have always wanted a colored island and now I just need some new barstools!
A little before and after to see where we started!
I love how my egg sign pops on these newly painted walls. This is the door to my pantry and it will be staying white.
This little wall is the perfect spot for my chalkboard and apron collection.
Our next project will be the counterops and the floors. I hate having white formica countertops but it is amazing how much better they look since we have painted the whole kitchen.
I also want to put different lights above the island, something similar to what we have hanging above the sink now.
This little nook just needs to have the shelves painted. Here you can see part of my gumball machine collection.
My parents have cabin fever and came over to visit today. I somehow talked my dad into hanging my new light while they were here...thanks dad! This is hanging above my sink and it is from Home Depot.
The knobs on the cupboards and pulls on the drawers are from Lowe's and they are the perfect finishing touch.
I love how we were able to match all the metals from our light to our knobs to our towel bar.
I can't wait to finish this kitchen makover and get new floors, countertops and lights. But for now, I am so happy with the way it is turning out!
In other news, I recently got a promotion at work and will be the Special Events Coordinator which means I will be in charge of coordinating all external events (think wedding, galas, etc.) Our own Scholarship Gala is on February 18th and I can't wait to share my centerpieces with you again!

Hi Trisha, Love how your kitchen turned out. The aqua is stunning on your island and walls. The touch of vintage is perfect and such an inviting space to be in. You are going to enjoy many happy hours in this wonderful spot.
Congrats on your work promotion. Best wishes too for a Happy Valentine's Day. xoxo
Everything looks so nice. I know that you must be proud. It's such hard work but then the reward is always nice. Love the bakery sign! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
How lovely! I like the little touches, like the aprons and chalkboard on that narrow piece of wall. And I thought it was so sweet that when your parents got cabin fever they headed to your house!
What a difference a little paint makes indeed! We're in the process of re-doing our kitchen too, but it's been a little more involved. The white and blue are gorgeous for sure. And, I love all the little touches you've added. Your displayed aprons has inspired me to hang mine as well. I think I know the perfect spot too. Enjoy your 'new' kitchen! :)
Wow...looks so amazing!

I knew this was your post, Trisha, when I spied that adorable truck and trailer!
Your kitchen looks fabulous and the paint colour is lovely. I had aqua on my walls, including the kitchen, for years. Love a white kitchen! Nice job! Enjoy your weekend.

Congrats on your promotion, Trisha! That is awesome! I hope all goes well with Cody's surgery. Your kitchen looks wonderful, the white cabinets really pop against that pretty blue. I've always dreamed of a white kitchen:)
