Kitchen Colors

This wooden cabinet finally got hung on a wall. Yay for us! It's been hanging around in a closet for over a year since I bought it.

The last time I showed it, I was trying to decide what color to paint it. I've narrowed it down to aged black or distressed white. Because the kitchen cabinets are so distressed, it would look off to paint it a bright color.

Since we hung it by the back door, the bottom section is useful for holding our keys,  change, garage door openers, etc. 

The Oakland A's hat that I put up on top was my dad's. He was an ardent A's fan and when he died in 1994, it was the one he'd been wearing for a while. It's a little beat up, which makes it perfect to me.

I plan to change the small hooks on the bottom of the cabinet to larger ones when I paint it. It's a great place to hang my purse and saves  me a lot of time trying to find where I left it last. 

Black and white work well with the yellowish-tan cabinets and tile in the kitchen. I'm hoping it brightens the kitchen up a bit and tones down the yellow. 

Our "projects" list is growing bigger. Hoping to add a little trim work to the area below the glass doors after seeing a cabinet in this magazine I bought today called Cottage home style.

Take a look...

I love the arches on each side and the wooden slats across the back of the cabinet. Be still my heart! 

Highly recommend this magazine. I don't remember seeing an issue of it before so maybe it's a new one. If you love white furniture and walls, you'll love this issue.

Thanks for dropping by!
