Biting the Blue Bullet

Two years ago when I saw inside J. Lo and Marc Anthony's kitchen I knew I had found my inspiration.  Her appliances, counter tops, back splash, lighting and especially the cabinetry were all amazing...



The moment I saw the blue cabinets I knew this was what I wanted to do.  I absolutely love the look of the blue and how the color lightens the room.  The fact that they are not too common was also a big bonus,  I don't know anyone who has blue cabinets...



Thus began my search for the perfect shade of blue.  I scoured pinterest, houzz, and every magazine in the continental U.S.  I added to my inspiration board...



and gave my painter endless paint samples....





I finally found my perfect shade of blue...

the painting begins next week!!
