Kitchen makeover - plans and procrastination
Wallpaper! From the wrong decade! Has to go (reminds me of a dentist office). Especially for selling the home, I think it will be a good selling point to have clean walls. And what color to paint them? Green of course! My childhood bedroom (once I kicked my sisters out of it and it was truly mine) was a light, natural shade of green, a color that absolutely calms and soothes me. I want to wash the kitchen in it. After I accomplish this great task, I will then consider painting the cabinets white and putting in knob fixtures to break up the white. I am also thinking of a cream color instead of white...thoughts? I am leaving the floor as is, I do not want to spend the money on it. I think the color of the floor and countertops should be taken into consideration when choosing a paint color for the cabinets.
The table and chairs I currently have are hand-me-down from my grandmother. It is a nice size, shape, and I like the cushioned rolly chairs. It is also old with dog chew marks on the legs. I am thinking of covering the fabric in a new fabric with a modern pattern, not sure how well that can be accomplished though, will have to do some exploration in the future.
For my new found love of roman shades I was thinking about it for the kitchen, but I do not want to overdo it with fabric, I think instead I will replace the blinds with wooden or bamboo ones, I have always liked those. I think I will paint first and make all other design decisions around that.
I am anxious about removing the wallpaper. It is old and peeling and needs to go, but I have never done it before and I do not want to screw it up. What I need to do is decide on a day to set aside to tackle it and just do it. Maybe this weekend? We will see...
