I’ve heard people say that you should live in a house for a while (at least a year) before making major changes. We made several changes before we moved in because they had to be done. But the one project I’m glad that we waited on is the kitchen. It wasn’t really by choice; it was more about budget restrictions. But having lived in this house once before and then living in it again for a year allowed my vision for the space to evolve. Modern country kitchen is the look I am going for.
I have looked at hundreds, if not thousands, of kitchen photos over the past year. When I shared my vision of the laundry room/kitchen cabinet swap project with Dylan, these are the photos I showed him that got him on board with the idea:

And the biggest decision I have yet to make–whether I want all white cabinets or dark gray lower cabinets with white upper cabinets. What do you think? Do you have any strong opinions on the matter?
Bi-Color Cabinets or Not?

I love the all-white cabinets, but with kids home all day, mine were ALWAYS dirty. I think I’m doing bi-color this time. Love the marble looking subway tile in the pics!
That’s what I was thinking Katie. The color on the bottom would hide splashes and smudges better.
