Adding Color to Kitchen Shelves

Are you all having a totally gorgeous weekend like we are here in Ohio?
I think it's the best weather we have had all year ~ so wonderful!

This week I worked on a little project in the kitchen.



Something I have wanted to do for awhile is paint the back of this shelf unit .
But it was hard to decide on the color.


I finally just decided to go for it and I used the leftover paint from our family room.

What do you think?
I really like it but I am wondering if maybe a little bit deeper shade of aqua/blue would look better.
I would really love your honest opinion ~ you all have such great taste and ideas!!

I hope you enjoy every second of your weekend !
We'll be outside most of the day doing some chores in the yard and enjoying the weather.

Don't forget to enter my Ramsign giveaway here ~ it runs thru Tuesday, October 11th.

    I think the color is perfect. Not too blue, not too green, not too dark, not too light! I am looking for a similiar color for my bathroom so thank you for identifying the paint color. Visiting from Met. Monday.

    I love the colour you chose. It really adds some interest to the cupboard and a nice backdrop for your displays.

    For me that would be the perfect choice. It makes the white pop. I really can't think of any color that would not work with it.

    I think the color is perfect as well. soft so you can add the items you want and the back ground won't take over the items..

    Oh my, this is such a pretty shade of blue... like a beachy blue and I love how it makes the pretty white pitchers and platters stand out. A perfect shade of blue! Thanks for this pretty post and for your loving comment on my autumn tea. I appreciate you stopping by. Enjoy these wonderful autumn days... weather has been simply gorgeous. Hugs~Poppy

    I like it just like you have it. Very soft, but it is dark enough to make your white pieces pop. Lovely.

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 w

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 this dre

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.  I love th
