Ahh..the kitchen. This room was the same yellow as the master bathroom. I don't have any good before pictures of it, just a couple that happen to include the color. I struggled with the color for this room too. I thought about a green as is the trend for kitchens these days. I had green in my last house and really liked it. But since I decided on a green for the half bath right off the kitchen I thought it would be a bit much. The color I ended up using was my first attempt at the griege/whole house neutral. I was basing the color on a lighter shade of the living room paint, but it is lighter and grayer than I wanted. It has grown on me a bit but I'm still not sure if I will keep it.
I also added as sitting room to the kitchen which I am absolutely thrilled with! I had been pinning kitchen sitting rooms for ages on Pinterest but as I have said, I have no imagination and just couldn't picture how it would look here or if it would fit. I ended up buying a couple of chairs on sale at Ross and I used a table I moved over from my other house. I agonized for way too long over how big of a rug to put here and tried a couple I already had. The one I found at Tjmaxx works great and I love it. I now sit here all the time. I use it when I am cooking to sit and look up a recipe or if I am waiting for cookies to come out of the oven. Much less risk that I will burn something due to frequent distraction if I leave the room. :)
This is of my cat who likes to sit facing corners which I find endlessly amusing :) but it happens to catch the 'before' of the kitchen paint.
Here is the after of the kitchen paint. I painted a white below the chair rail.
And here is the breakfast area turned sitting area. A much better use for the space, I think. I meant there is already a bar to sit at for eating.
