Demolition of Kitchen and Deciding on Colors

Our kitchen remodel- Demo phase

We have several cabinets, a few walls, and the soffits torn out of our kitchen. We found we will need a bit more dry wall repair than we had hoped. There were also some problems with wiring that we thought may require an electrician but my husband now thinks he will be able to handle it.  We are about a day or two behind though. We had hoped to have the recessed lights put in by today.

I would like to share the colors of our counters, backsplash and cabinets.

Our cabinets are from Scroll’s cabinets. More on them later. All of the perimeter cabinets will be painted oyster- a cream color. I don’t have a sample of oyster.  Our island will be painted in prairie skye, which is an interesting light blue, green, gray that seems to change with the light or with other colors placed near it.

The counters are granite, called Blue Pearl, which is warm gray with black and blue accents.  It is more neutral than it may seem.It makes me smile.

Our backsplash combines a warm beige/gray field tile, which will set on the diagonal, accented with squares of small glass and stone mosaic tiles. The window bay will be surrounded by the mosaic tiles.

Here you can see the counters, backsplash and the cabinet colors.. You can see the small sample of the island color-praire skye. The chair is pretty close to the oyster of the cabinets. The wood color is just the table :-) our floors will be darker.

Looking at these colors helps me remember how much I am going to enjoy the finished product. I know some people may not like my choices. They are not the safest and the most neutral. We love blue and even though I felt like perhaps I should choose something more neutral  we decided to go with what we wanted.

My kitchen is not looking so great right now but I am confident it will.

 I am thankful that my husband can figure out all the issues that come up!

Please let me know what you think of everything so far!
