Cooking Up Color in the Kitchen

Last week I told you that a sale at the paint store prompted me to change the color of my kitchen walls. To be honest, I was never really thrilled with the color we had painted it a couple of years ago. The color was Sherwin Williams' Wheat Grass, and we primarily chose it because it blended well with the yellow walls in the hallway and the toile wallpaper in the dining room.

Now that we have kissed the toile goodbye, it seemed a good time to change things up. This is how the kitchen looked when we bought the house 4 years ago...

Unfortunately, in my haste to paint, I didn't get a decent shot of the kitchen painted with the "Wheat Grass." Here are a couple pics that at least give you an idea of the color...

And here it is today, painted in SW Comfort Gray...

Here's a close-up ...

Looking into the family room...

Comfort Gray is an interesting color. Depending on the light, it can look really blue or greenish-gray. It always takes me a while to get used to change, but so far I'm liking it. It looks great with the grasscloth in the dining room and the chocolate brown walls in the side entry. It also picks up some of the blue that I have in the striped chair in the family room.

I'm not loving it with the yellow wall in the stairway.... hmmmm.... dominos....


Oh, and before we leave the kitchen, I just had to show you these little measuring cups...

I got them from Anthro a while back, and I love them! The only thing that gets measured in them is dust, because I leave them out on display :)

Now I better get to cooking something in the form of dinner, before the natives get restless. 

Hope you're having a great week! Thanks for stopping by, and as always, I'd love to hear from you! I don't like talking to myself :)
