For a while there, honey colored cabinetry was ALL THE RAGE. Or maybe it wasn’t, but that’s what all the builders across America seemed to think. Now the rage is painting those cabinets white. Will we someday look back on this as a crazy trend? I don’t think so. White is as classic as anything can be. It’s not like everyone is painting in harvest gold or avocado, right? So go ahead and roll up your sleeves, and tell your husband it’s a good investment!
This classic kitchen makeover comes from Diane at The Perfectly Imperfect Life. I love how she dropped down that extra high island counter, which could only be used as an eating surface when NBA players stopped by for a snack before. Now it’s built for regularly sized people and uses the space so much better. Thanks Diane!
