GRAY KITCHEN CABINETS

I never would have imagined that I would like gray
as a color for kitchen cabinets.
But it turns out, it works beautifully in the kitchen.


It has become a popular color for cabinets in recent years.

Our Vintage Home Love

You can find some wonderful kitchens in blogland with
 gorgeous gray cabinets.

I think something unexpected is how fresh gray cabinets
 can make a kitchen can look.

The Inspired Room

It's really a neutral color too.

Decor Pad

You could use just about anything for an accent color.


Gray looks good with rustic elements.

The Lettered Cottage

It's also great paired with bright white.

Our Lake Life

Not sure why, but it just works!

Don't you agree?

    I love gray, I am currently debating on painting my island gray and my barstools off white.

    I am not a gray person in general, however, I love these gray kitchens. I am really kind of surprised how neutral and warm they are! I am definitely drawn to the lighter tones, but I love the contrast with white in all the pics!

    I do love gray, JoAnne. I started to use it as an alternative to white and I find that any sort of decor goes with it. I have a simple bathroom in super light gray, my bedroom which is a blueish gray feels so serene and I have touches of gray in my family room which is painted pale yellow, a lovely combo. Hubby and I were talking the other day about how I took a big risk and painted my lower kitchen cabinets at the lake in a gray with a greenish tinge...like a turtle!! lol! The upper is open white shelving so it's the best of both worlds. People always comment on the colors.

    Are you thinking of painting? I love the kitchen from The Lettered Cottage. Gorgeous!

    Yes- I do love the grey I see all over the place. I'm with you-I never thought I would like it. About 20 years ago I went to someone's house and she had just painted her kitchen cabinets a medium gray color and it just looked so "rich". She had a lot of antique pieces and that was the perfect backdrop for them.

    You found some beautiful examples, JoAnne. xo Diana

    I love gray, it's a fresh color option to use in neutral decor. I painted my master bed and bath Dolphin gray and I love it!

    I don't have a love affair with grey, but I must say that grey kitchen cabinets look really lovely. As you say they are like a warm neutral that can allow any accent colour and they look so crisp with white around them. I love your inspiration pictures and they show how many shades of grey exist and how versatile it is.

    Good Afternoon JoAnne, I never imagined I would like grey as a colour for the kitchen, but you have converted me, the colour really works.
    I love the photographs you have shared..... now I wonder if I can persuade my husband that grey will work.
    Best Wishes

    Seeing all the kitchens you featured left me wanting to redo house or move. Such gorgeous rooms, so many features I've drooled over. I'd love to have farm sink and kitchen we could eat in. I'm going to go back thru all the kitchens again and pin favorites for ideas.
    I've always been into the rich jewel colors but have found greys go with them also. We painted our l/r early summer in very light grey that has lightened up the room so much. L/r and kitchen both face east and back west. We have single wide mfg. home so have to keep colors that will blend nicely. I used darker grey and couple shaded of aqua with white in l/r and am painting walls in kitchen which is seen from l/r in the darker grey then will paint cabinets white. Went round and round on cabinets but decided white would be better otherwise will look like big dark boxes on wall.
    I've never been a grey color lover but when I found some grey/white damask design on curtains at TJMaxx on sale that was deciding factor as to color for l/r. So glad I did. I'm really tired of browns. Carpet in our l/r is horrible brown/white high low, home built in 1998. We'll be taking carpet up to put big area rug down. Have some great ones at Lowe's that are end of bolts for affordable prices. Have lino underneath but will paint it before putting area rug down.
    I have to give credit to so many blog posts I've read and learned from in last couple years. You gals out there are so with it and know just what to do to make your homes look great without spending a fortune, its' for sure we don't have fortune. We live on our SS, in Grand Junction, CO area that doesn't go as far as it did in KY. So with all this inspiration I'll go do some more housework, ugh. thanks for loads of inspiration.
    Happy week

    Great inspiration, we actually have grayish/taupe kitchen cabinets and I've been trying to decide on a new wall color. The walls are the same grayish/taupe shade now. I really like the whites with grays!

    I like grey cabinets. I have some in my own kitchen. I took the doors off of mine and display white dishes in them. Those are some great pics!

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the...

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased...

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood. ...
