A pretty picture

I was a good girl and started the kitchen project with the important things like a practical layout and lots of storage. But that isn’t the fun part, the fun part involves colors and textures and design!
I love interior design and spent my senior year of high school torn between pursing architecture/design and a science degree. I’m glad I went with science, mostly because I did not have enough fashion sense to survive at a design school, but I’m glad I get the chance to explore my creative side a bit more now. But it is a tad bit intimidating. Designing a kitchen is more of a commitment than picking a paint color and I did not want to get this wrong!
Luckily for me, Pinterest came along at just the right time. I had been trying to mentally keep track of the kitchens I liked, but it wasn’t until I saw it all laid out on Pinterest that I felt confident in my vision – both that I knew what I wanted and that I wasn’t a weirdo for wanting it.
See if you can spot the similarities between some of my favorite inspiration images:

 This one evens comes complete with a husband and baby – but mine are cuter :-)

• White cabinets
• Dark grey/black counters
• Wood floors
• Pops of bright colors, specifically yellows and blues/greens

While my confidence might have been a bit shaken my the H.D. lady going on and on about how black countertops would be too much of a contrast with white cabinets and how I would regret that decision – I say poo-poo. I know what I want and, at least theoretically, it’s gonna look goood.
