Sometimes a project comes along when I’m out browsing blogland that just captures my heart and Edie’s kitchen has done that. I almost missed it and went by to see what she was up to when I heard about a painting party she was having. I missed the party, but not Edie’s gorgeous kitchen.
I had the privilege of meeting Edie at the Blissdom conference and she is a precious sister in Christ, who has a love for decorating and projects just like I do. Check out her blog Life in Grace, if you want some heart inspiration too.
Here’s Edie’s kitchen before she got ahold of the paint brush. And if this AFTER pic doesn’t show the power of paint, I don’t know what does!
Edie calls it the Retro Cottage Kitchen and I think she is right on. Isn’t it the cutest? I don’t have the nerve to paint my kitchen cabinets aqua, but I sure applaud Edie in her forward thinking and creativity with this space.
You’ll have to click over to Edie’s post on this kitchen to read all about the details (and there are plenty of budget details she shares) and see all the pics, before, after and in process. She took the old doors that she decided not to use on the upper cabinets and added them to the back of her island and painted it all black.
Love it!
So cottagey!
Go over and say hello to Edie, she’ll love for you to come by for a visit! Edie, it’s great girl, I just had to share your project with everyone over here.
That’s pretty!
:-D)
I love the use of the cabinet doors on the back of the island. Hmmm I,m thinking.Sioux City Iowa has a Habitat for Humanity overstock warehouse open to all and its like a hardware store. There are stacks of cabinet doors and I just couldnt forget them. Now I have a great idea thanks to you! Take care
Certainly a bold color choice for a kitchen. Love it though, including the cabinet doors on the island.
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I just want to stare at them all day hoping somehow when i walk in my kitchen that it would look like that!!! I LOVE the aqua cabinets!!!
Oh, wow! I love the aqua, and the open cabinets up top. It doesn’t even look like the same kitchen. Thanks for sharing this.
Beautiful!
It is absolutely gorgeous!!! Headed over to her blog to check it out!
Have a beautiful day Rhoda!

What a gorgeous kitchen. I don’t know that I could paint mine aqua either, but her’s is absolutely stunning. I can’t wait to go over and see the whole process. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
Since most of my home has been aqua for many years, as soon as I saw the title of this post, I had to head over. What a wonderful transformation! What was a standard-issue kitchen has been given character, charm and life. Way to go, Edie! The girl has great vision. Thanks so much for sharing, Rhoda!

I know…wasn’t that the most amazing kitchen redo ever? I loved everything about it. That lady has some serious talent and some mad skills!
I love that color of aqua! It reminds me of kitchens from my childhood.
Oh, my! Wasn’t she brave? A drastic change that paid off! Thanks for sharing Edie today! ~Mindy
