Anway. I haven't written an actual "nesting" themed post yet over here on the The Reading Nest, but how's this for a first...the total demolition of my existing kitchen, to be replaced by Ikea cabinets, in a style called Nexus Yellow Brown.
Here is a picture of my kitchen, back when I had one, a whole week ago today:
And here's kinda what that same wall looks like now, except that the gash where the ceramic tile came out has been replaced with new drywall:
It's very exciting, and frightening, too. What if the end result sucks? (It won't, but the possibility exists.) The new cabinets will be slightly darker, still with a wood grain. They'll be much more modern, with stainless hardware. Here's a mock up of what we have planned, using the Incredibly Frustrating and Evil Ikea Kitchen Planning Software (its real name, no lie):
If you're here reading this and you're not my husband, chances are you've typed in a Google search for my cabinet style, because you're anxiously trolling the web at 2am, hoping for pictures or comments from real-life people who are installing it. So let's just cut to the chase and send you over to my blog on IkeaFans, titled "New Kitchen in the 'Burbs."
Hope you find something helpful. Enjoy.
I found your blog through a Google search on "yellow kitchen." I love the yellow - do you ever miss it? Do you recall what colour that paint was?
ReplyDeleteBea, I don't miss that yellow -- (it's actually more of a gold/orange) because I still have it on a large facing wall in the great room. It's by Behr and is something like "Squash" or maybe "Pumpkin." I liked the color in the kitchen during the day, but at night against the old cabinets it turned a very bright color that I called "School Bus Yellow."
ReplyDeleteGood luck and hope this helps!
