Admissions of a mint-loving maniac (and plans for my next purdy little kitchen)
Admission #1: I am obsessed with teal/mint/teal-ish-mint/teal-y-blue-ey-mint/anything in that whole awesome and spectacular colour family at the moment.
Admission #2: I have ginormous plans to either…
a) paint my kitchen cupboards with the fabulous above mentioned teal/mint/somewhat teal-tinted-mint-based hue (if I’m feeling particularly adventurous and brave – painting kitchen cupboards takes A WHOLE LOT of work, so it’s quite a crazy project and not at all for the colour-fearing commitment-phobe)
OR
b) paint my kitchen walls teal/mint/teal-y-mint should I chicken out of my bold kitchen cupboard painting plans and opt for the more low-risk option.
Admission #3: I don’t yet own the aforementioned kitchen with its not yet painted cupboards and/or walls but I will very very shortly – only FOUR weeks (plus a few days) to go! Until then, in true (likely predictable) Melissa fashion, I will obsess endlessly and scour Pinterest for loveliness. (I’m a little lot OCD like that.)
So, in lieu of actually having an actual real-life kitchen to paint at present (holy moly I can’t wait to have to have my own little kitchen again!) and in light of the fact that I’m a little obsessed with paint colours at the moment, here are a few of my favourite marvellous quasi-teal/mint/absolutely lovely kitchens…
Triangle Honeymoon (whose site seems to be down at the moment) (which makes me super sad – there’s a whole lot of awesomeness there!) painted their kitchen in Glidden’s Gentle Tide…
Looks so perfect with the butcher’s block countertops, no?
And take a look at Brenda over at Cottage4C’s (bravely!) painted kitchen cupboards…
The colour (Sherwin Williams Rain) is a tad more blue-ish than minty-ish, and I love it. So pretty!
Our little loo at the last house was painted in Benjamin Moore’s Woodlawn Blue, but I think it’d be super pretty in a kitchen with white accents and such (like this one from Darryl Carter)…
Lastly (but most definitely not leastly) is this teal/green/slightly-minty-I-suppose (but definitely lovely!) kitchen courtesy of House of Turquoise…
Oh, swoon. I absolutely adore this kitchen! So much so that I think we should see another pic (don’t you?)
(I’m still swooning over here.) The colour is so fantastically cheery, but not obnoxiously so (since, well, I can only stand so much cheeriness pre-coffee in the morning.) And with pretty yellow accents it just looks so… fresh. Like a cucumber I suppose. Or a big head of iceberg lettuce. Both of which, appropriately enough, belong in a kitchen. So perhaps Kensington Green belongs in my kitchen…
And perhaps I should make a salad.
(As soon as I officially own my kitchen that is.) (Only four weeks plus five days to go!)
