Going White

It’s happening tomorrow. We are going white. With our kitchen cabinets that is. I’m excited and terrified at the same time!

The kitchen, before.

I am now the unofficial expert on shades of white paint made by Benjamin Moore. There are WAY to many options. After some research I narrowed it down to three whites: White Dove, Simply White, and Decorators White.

White Dove was a little too yellow…..and Decorators White was too cool. So in the end, the Simply White wins!

I hope I’m making the right decision. It’s such a big step and I’m terrified of picking the wrong shade. Pregnancy hormones + way too many decisions = stressed out Julie.

But this photo of kitchen cabinets painted Simply White sure helps reassure me I’m making the right decision. Wish us luck!

p.s…..what to know what else is happening in a few weeks?

Here’s a hint!

    YAY! So exciting. Are you guys painting them yourself or having someone else do it? We are thinking about doing it too, so this definitely helps. I will have to look into that color white for sure.

    SOOO exciting! I'm sure you will love the color once it is all completed. I understand about second guessing right now though. Im thinking that's granite….and if it is it's beautiful! Love those colors for for a white kitchen!

    We painted our kitchen cabinets Bone White, which is a Benjamin Moore color too! I bet you will love it and the granite will be super great as well. Can't wait to see the finished product!!
