With 2014 officially underway (how is already January 3rd!?) John and I have been deep in conversation about what the new year will hold for us. A new house? A new state? Who knows where we’ll end up, but the idea of a brand new space to play with has me dreaming about my dream spaces – first up, the kitchen.
OPTION 1:
One of the simplest budget renovations for a kitchen, as we all know, is to paint the cabinetry. I love the idea of a monochromatic color scheme, but not just any monochromatic color scheme. I’m thinking a bold color, like my all time favorite mint!
OPTION 2:
But I’ll be honest – nothing holds my attention right now like a pretty two-toned scheme. Light on top, dark on the bottom, this white and navy kitchen is modern yet eclectic, sophisticated yet approachable. I’m choosing Option 2 today – How about you?

Two tone!! Monochrome is too boring for me. I actually have a huge love for two contrasting colours that match well.
Thanks for the vote!
That mint kitchen is dreamy, but it’s so much easier to switch up paint on a wall than cabinets. I recently redid my kitchen in two-tone and I LOVE it… it almost makes me want to learn to cook (almost)

That’s such a good point!
The navy kitchen is fantastic. It looks so cozy yet crisp!
Agreed!
