Anway. I haven't written an actual "nesting" themed post yet over here on the The Reading Nest, but how's this for a first...the total demolition of my existing kitchen, to be replaced by Ikea cabinets, in a style called Nexus Yellow Brown.
Here is a picture of my kitchen, back when I had one, a whole week ago today:
And here's kinda what that same wall looks like now, except that the gash where the ceramic tile came out has been replaced with new drywall:
It's very exciting, and frightening, too. What if the end result sucks? (It won't, but the possibility exists.) The new cabinets will be slightly darker, still with a wood grain. They'll be much more modern, with stainless hardware. Here's a mock up of what we have planned, using the Incredibly Frustrating and Evil Ikea Kitchen Planning Software (its real name, no lie):
If you're here reading this and you're not my husband, chances are you've typed in a Google search for my cabinet style, because you're anxiously trolling the web at 2am, hoping for pictures or comments from real-life people who are installing it. So let's just cut to the chase and
Hope you find something helpful. Enjoy.
I found your blog through a Google search on "yellow kitchen." I love the yellow - do you ever miss it? Do you recall what colour that paint was?
ReplyDeleteBea, I don't miss that yellow -- (it's actually more of a gold/orange) because I still have it on a large facing wall in the great room. It's by Behr and is something like "Squash" or maybe "Pumpkin." I liked the color in the kitchen during the day, but at night against the old cabinets it turned a very bright color that I called "School Bus Yellow."
ReplyDeleteGood luck and hope this helps!
