A sneak peak

Here is a sneak peak of the cupboards. They look really yellowish in this picture. I am debating about painting the wall also. My husband has tomorrow off, so hopefully we can get the moulding on top and touch up.
I wasn't positive about the glaze at first. I don't ever like a lot of glaze. I don't like it to look messy. It is growing on me though. I also need to decide what curtains to make. I was going to do Roman shades and had bought a kit with all the stuff to make them. Then it got recalled. I'm trying to decide if I want just short ones that hang down, but our table is by the window you can see in this picture and my kids don't have the cleanest hands. I need something that will cover the window since they face west and it gets warm as I'm making dinner in the summer.


Ok, so I showed the bathroom wall awhile ago. I need a color to go with it. It usually looks gray, but around 5pm it looks kind of blueish. I really like apple green, but I'm not sure how that will look during the blueish time of day. We'll have to see... I'm open to suggestions!

Those are beautiful Elizabeth! I've been itching to redo my cabinets too! I think that yellow (not a bright yellow!) would look really good with your gray in the bathroom!

You must has used the same color that I used on mu cupboards. It's been about 6 months and I am still in love with them. I also love your wall!!!

I randomly came across your blogthrough a google search would you mind telling me what color you're cabinets are and where you got the paint? They are beautiful!

Thanks! The paint is from Kwal and is called Sunkist Ridge. The glaze is Ralph Lauren's faux technique glaze from Home Depot. The color tinted in it is smoke. Also, the card with the paint sample looked way more creamy than it did in real life.

Looking great Elizabeth! I think yellow would be pretty against the gray in the bathroom too.
