Green and white? Or white and green?

The house is FINALLY back on track! I ordered wood windows and it put our schedule back 6 weeks! The beautiful windows are to be here this week, so I'm realizing that I need to make some decisions on a few things cause after window install things are going to be moving fast! So this is my latest dilemma. I have wanted green cabinets FOREVER! But then I see white kitchens with green walls and I'm seriously confused!!

Green walls?

Or green cabinets????





The floors will be walnut if this helps in your decision making. Would love to know what you think????

  2. How on Earth do you choose? I dream of painting my oak cabinets white, myself, and have thought about making the base of the island bar green. Your photos have inspired me! I say do what you really truly want. Don't worry about resale value or what any experts say. It's your house and your dream! Enjoy it!

  3. Ooooohhh do the grenn cabinets! Do it just for me;)! I have always wanted green cabinets! When we built our house ten years ago...we kind of went woth the style of our neighborhood...stained wood...I have it in the whole back of my house...I would love to change it to some kind of glazed green! I adore green! We got a bid from a painter and my husband almost fainted! I still want to paint a few things green...just to highlight some pieces! So you see you have to do it so I can live through you;)!

    I can't wait to see what you decide...but it better be green;)!

    Enjoy!

  4. I think the green cabinets are so much more YOU. So unique and SO cool. You must do green!

  5. I think the green cabinets look fantastic, but I am indecisive and change my mind often, so I would do white cabinets so that I could change my wall color annually. :)

  7. Looks like I'm the only one going for white cabinets. I've always wished for white. Wall color easier to change than cabinets. But, whatever you choose will be lovely. I'm enjoying your BLOG. Your creativity is inspiring.

  8. Sister, you know I've always been a white cabinet girl...until recently. I see them too much now. I realize that what I like about white is the crisp factor. But you can still accomplish that with white marble countertops or white backsplash. I'm going to paint my cabinets at my new bungalow a light blue (picture a very light version of Martha Stewart Ceiling Kitchen Blue). I think you should do yours a light soft green! You will be sooo happy!

  9. Sister, I love white cabinets personally. I am doing them as you know in the new house and still doing white marble countertops. heehee. But remember my favorite room in your last house was the Laundry room with the yellow cabinets. So maybe the green is the best for you! Can't wait to have dinners in that kitchen.

  10. i would have to do white at my house because i would probably change my mind in a year or so and it's easier to change the wall color than the cabinets. BUT if you love green, have always loved green, and will always love green then go for the green cabinets! they are so much more unique! if you're still not sure, maybe consider doing the cabinets white and the island (if you have one) green.

  11. I think the white cabinets with green walls. And the picture with the window seat is stunning! I so wish I could do that in my own kitchen!
