Kitchen Re-do part 6

. Sunday, June 13, 2010 .

When last we were together here at the BLT we left off with a kitchen at 80% or so...
The counter was in, old (ho-hum) appliances long installed, kitchen cabinets painted...
The kitchen cabinets should have been done right?  I had carefully chosen the shades of blue, looking forward to my retro kitchen.
 I love the open cabinet look, but I wasn't sure it was the thing for our mess stuff different dishes.  Here's an image from Apartment Therapy.

Then to add to my uncertainty, I didn't like the upper white color on the cabinets.  It was wayyyyy different than the white of the new cabinets. 

Can you see how totally different they are--ugh! What to do? What to do?
So, I impulsively decided that maybe painting the upper cabinets blue would be good...
(crazy talk-since the lovely bamboo was already in and I'm a mess-say painter-yikes)
I started carefully painting
the outside of one section blue and the outside of one section white (blue inside)

and the inside became the former white-ish color....
What do you think?
I wasn't quite sure it was working still...
Indecision at dinner time with offspring-never a good plan...
I finally made up my mind.  What do you think I chose?
