Changes in a house take more time than you think they will. Today the carpenter is putting on the finishing touches on walls and countertops. He is a very nice guy. But it doesn't matter how nice they are, I don't enjoy having people in my house.
I chose to do a mini update, replacing laminate countertops with laminate and painting walls and cabinets. I didn't want to have to deal with living with a full gut job.
Now it will be my job to paint the walls and cabinets. I'm still deciding between white and blue. I have until I finish priming to make my final decision.

We are renovating too. It is hard to know exactly what to do. I chose the whitest white I could get for the entire house to help with light. I wanted the house to feel more airy and cleaner. I downsized on things and furniture and am trying to uncomplicate the place. I am going to splurge on one thing. I will get granite for the stove island and the countertops. It will take all my money, but this is the last go round, so it will be what I will always have here. Sometimes in life, we get so busy and things crowd in on us that I felt simple walls and open spaces would calm my mind and give me some room to think and relax. It is like throwing off a coat or shirt when we get to hot. Your kitchen will be very pretty and I think you are making great choices.
Dixie whatever you decide, it will look very nice. I love your new countertop. It completely lightened up your kitchen. I am looking forward to doing the same to my countertop. My personal opinion is white cabinets have a timeless look. So you can't go wrong. Then paint your walls a lovely blue. Wall color is a lot easier to change than cabinet color. Trust me, I know. ;> )
I'm about to paint my kitchen cabinets...we can do this. We really can. :) Love the updates, can't wait to see the finished results.
I've started painting! FINALLY decided on a color. Am using Benjamin Moore Advsnce paint in satin finish. It's pricey, but dries to a hard finish.
