Heart of the Home

If you’ve been waffling over painting your kitchen white but not being able to pull the trigger, let me give you the little kick in the pants you need today.

Do it! *little kick* Why wait?!

Suzanne just did it and says that now her kitchen makes her heart sing. That’s a direct quote. She had built her home in the ’80s and loved the rustic look at the time, but you know how it goes. Styles change and tastes change, and she eventually found herself yearning for a lighter, brighter space.

 

So she did it and hasn’t looked back!

It’s a bit hard to see in this photo, but the top cabinets are a light gray, and she also switched out the knobs and pulls for a simplified set in brushed silver, which contributes to the overall ‘cottage’ vibe she was going for.

One of the details that I love is how she removed the valance and cornice piece over the window and painted the trim, but left the sash unpainted.

It adds a lot of character and warmth and makes the window really stand out as a feature. My heart would sing too!
