Eventually those will get changed. And the white everywhere walls will be painted. (here's to knowing our colors from the last house!). Debating on painting the white kitchen cabinets one of these colors. (maybe bottoms only).

Ooh. I love a sagey olivey green. I’d send you our colors but my phone pictures aren’t reflecting the real color at all.

these are screenshots from the paint manufacturers. The second one was what we painted our prior bedroom (and will again here). It looks less yellowish irl.

The countertop is one of those sparkly quartz types. Not my fave but it was recent and in good shape. The sparkles have a tendency to look silvery / grayish, painting the cabinets green will hopefully bring out that more "sea glass" type tone in it.

We literally put in sparkly quartz countertops with a sea glass green in it. And the green absolutely does help it come out.

Sneak peek…

Countertop and unfinished tile worms Tile and wall and cabinet — you can see the pale green is deeper than the white spackle.

very bold! This is our countertop. The sparkles always look darker in photos.

I am jealous of the courage to go bold. I am good at bold accents (eg furnishings and pillows and such) but shy away from it on walls. Admittedly I am not great at visualizing, and it's easier with the more muted / pastel tones.

I tend toward an accent wall and bold accents but in the kitchen I just wanted color and NOT WHITE OR GRAY.

Here are the colors from the website. The blue is the lower cabinets. Lighter green is walls and uppers. Darker green is trim and then the tile is green with dark blue grout and some white stars.

A collage of 3 green colors and one blue.

It’s been so satisfying seeing it actually realized. It was one thing on swatches and in my head. But it actually works. The room looks so amazingly different and so much better.

We did our top cabinets a paler version of that and the trim close to that color. With a deeper green tile.
