BJs kitchen is all planned out. After reviewing my mockups, we chose specific colors in the space, tweaking from the virtual as we felt necessary. BJ is a super shopper and has been a very hands-on client, finding a great deal on discontinued Marmoleum (we opted for a cream and terracotta checkerboard as opposed to the plainer looking cork floor).
Colors: For the base cabinets we chose BM Knoxville Gray, which has undertones of blue and green and should really pop against the warmer tones of the floor. Upper cabinets, walls and ceiling will be BM Lancaster Whitewash, which I love because it is a warm, creamy off-white that looks like old white furniture that's aged over time. For subtle contrast, we chose BM White Dove for the trim and tin backsplash/wainscoting. In an under-used alcove of the kitchen, we decided to use off-the-rack base cabinets that are the same style as the rest of the cabinets in the room. This will give the family a place to store countertop appliances and with 5 extra feet of base cabinets, lots more storage and prep space. Bjs contractor will scribe them to fit in the space perfectly, and they will be painted to match the rest of the base cabinets.
All of these changes are not that expensive but will really improve the look and function of the space. I can't wait to see it transformed! Construction starts in less than two weeks!
