Oh, the hideous kitchen light is no more!
Vincent Kitty is certainly curious.
Everything started to come together for the kitchen this week. Our light finally came in, we snagged it and put it up. I absolutely love it and can't wait to see how it fits in with the rest of the room when it is done. Even better? Our countertops are going in tomorrow!
Now we just have to make some decisions when it comes to the wall color. We're going back and forth between a lighter olive color, a gray-blue or a gray-green. You can see a stockpile of paint samples on the island up in the picture, but we nixed most of those. We're going to have to make another trip to see what feels right.
So what else is going into the kitchen? Just a few ideas...
In the picture at the top, you can see how the ductwork cuts into part of the window frame, which makes it almost impossible to hang a curtain rod. Roman shades seem like the best option. Depending on the wall color, we're thinking these in navy.
We've also been looking for something we can put on the old fireplace wall that will give us more storage without taking up too much space. We're thinking this little hutch might do the trick.
...plus some new cabinet knobs, an over the range microwave and a bit more. Getting excited!

Love your kitchen post, can you tell me where you got the light? i love it!
Thank you! The light is from Shades of Light: http://www.shadesoflight.com/retro-honeycomb-drum-shade_pendant-4-colors.html
We have a brick and mortar store here in Richmond, but it seems like their online service is just as good!
