My Dreamsicle Kitchen

I’ve had kitchen on the brain all week and I think the orange has got to go. I am guilty of pushing the color in the first place, but I will admit - it was a mistake. I thought it would look nice against the bright while walls and black floor, but it never really came together. I was thinking of doing all white, turquoise or lime. I will eventually put something on the wall. Maybe some shelves or a small cabinet. *The brass plate on the wall is the “central station” for the house intercom. It plays music and controls all the rooms (including the bathroom) speakers.* I will post some inspiration photos later, but in the meantime, any suggestions would be oh, so helpful!

My Geneva Kitchen

When we were going through the house to prepare for our estate sale, we found the original brochure for the Geneva cabinets in the kitchen drawer. We have since painted them glossy white, but originally they were brown and yellow - exactly as shown in the first photo. We now have the brochure on the fridge as a fun reminder.

This is how our cabinets looked when we bought the house.

Pink and Turquoise are a great match too!

We made sure not to paint over the original label.
