The great debate when it comes to your kitchen makeover — what colour to choose for your cabinets, or maybe thats just me? For 8 whole months (and 3 years of dreaming) I’ve been thinking about painting/ redoing our kitchen cabinets. My hubby suggested getting them sprayed by the same person that built our kitchen island. But at the end of the day, the deal we were getting I still couldn’t justify and we couldn’t afford just yet. SO for 8 whole months I debated — should I paint them, get them professionally done, paint them white or another colour. What should we do!? From the beginning I was set on painting the cabinets white but after plenty of thought, family and friends input and pinterest soul searching, I decided to go with gray — Yep, GRAY not white. This may be the current kitchen trend, but I’v fallen for it! So why did I choose to go with gray over the very popular and classic white? You will have to wait until my next post… But I won’t leave you hanging, here’s some inspiration!

If the white plank ceiling isn’t enough, that wood beam gives this gray kitchen the final touch. Clean and warm feeling, this kitchen is so inviting.

Dark gray cabinets look stunning next to bold and bright colours, while the open shelving balances out the area. The beautiful white apron sink and counter top are simple yet bring so much definition to the room.

This kitchen has the warmth associated with farmhouse, but an industrial edge with the  charcoal gray cabinets mixed with stainless steel accents.
