We've been living in full renovation mode around here. Every day there is a new project going on around here. I'm not gonna lie. I love this phase! It's fun to see dramatic "before & after" moments happening almost every day! This past week we decided to add a pop of color inside the kitchen cabinets.
The color we chose is Sea Swell by Valspar. I wanted something crazy bright. We chose a pretty bright/white color scheme for this home, so when I find ways to work in intense, saturated color it's extra exciting. I love that now I will see a cheerful splash of color every time I reach for a coffee mug.
You'll have to forgive the piece of trim that's missing from the tops of the cabinets. I'll be sure to share photos of the entire kitchen after our renovations are wrapped up. What do you think? Is a bright color inside your kitchen cabinets something you would try? Elsie
ps. My wire baskets are from Amazon
Such a good idea to add some subtle color to your interior! Brilliant, thanks for sharing.

These are so lovely! I just used this exact color to paint the inside of a little shelf I found on the side of the road! So fresh.

I love the color! I just wear a pullover in that color today ;) If my kitchen wasn't yellow I would give it a try.

So beautiful! My kitchen is also all white, really brightens up the whole space. I did the same thing to my vintage display side cabinet, painted the inside a very similar colour. It made all the vintage items like toys and crockery etc I displayed inside really pop visually! I don't have a blog but wish I knew how to share a picture of it.. Anyway great job once again ;)

I love it! Looks great. I would totally try it. I ordered some baskets like that too for my studio that I'm in the process of organizing. ♥

I love the color and the added storage space on top of the cabinets...are you going to try and work in any chalkboard paint back into your kitchen this time?

I adore this idea! Bright colors make me happy.
