We remodeled our dated kitchen and I couldn't be happier with the finish product. We went with a beautiful pale sage green on our shaker style cabinets (Oil Cloth by Benjamin Moore) finished off with some antiqued brass hardware. WE went with carrara marble on the counters and in the subway tile behind the stove. The rest of the backsplash is a bead board that really gives the space character. Rather than adding more upper cabinets we went for a more open look with shelves we can style with dinnerware and decor. Let us know what you think!
