The Novel Kitchen Island
Happy Mon everyone!
My finally kitchen post was almost the range hood in addition to how I was looking for that perfect blue-grey color for it.
The affair was, I wanted to utilisation the same color on both, the make hood in addition to the island, but somehow the same color looked totally dissimilar on both surfaces. The make hood ever looked darker than the isle in addition to I wanted it to move the contrary way. :/
Anyhow, I intend icon the kitchen isle inward itself is an slowly agency to hand the entire kitchen a create novel look. I've painted mine 3 times already, in addition to I know this color is non going to move hither forever. :)
So, permit me exhibit y'all how it all went this time!

This is the finally color the kitchen isle sported, ASCP Duck Egg Blue. I loved it, but I grew tired of it. At that time, I added the corbels in addition to the beadboard on the shelf. You tin come across that entire makeover right HERE.
This time, I didn't alter anything other than the paint. But first, I had to take the wax protecting the chalk paint. It was easily done washing all the waxed surfaces alongside mineral spirits in addition to a steel wool sponge.
BM Galveston Gray was applied to the make hood in addition to to the island, but I didn't similar this color on the island. It was form of the same intensity of the previous Duck Egg blueish in addition to I wanted something darker.
So, I got a darker color: BM Ashland Slate in addition to I honey it! By the way, all the paints were Benjamin Moore Advance in addition to Satin finish.
As many of y'all already know, I every bit good painted the make hood this darker color, but inward fellowship to instruct far lighter (remember every color looked darker on the hood than on the island), I decided to exercise a white launder effect.
Well, hither on the isle I left it similar that, simple, pretty night grey. And every bit y'all tin see, I didn't take the quarter round. I tried, but finally fourth dimension I nailed it inward identify I set in addition to hence many nails that I decided to relieve that struggle for simply about other day. Instead I taped it off.
Don't y'all honey that color! It's grey, but it's every bit good blue, night blue, in addition to sometimes, lite blue/grey depending on the light.
After ii coats of paint... Oh wait, 3 coats alongside the lighter color at the beginning, this is how it looks later styling a lilliputian fight the transcend shelf...
And adding a crate on the lower one. As usual, the beauty of DIY projects is that y'all tin customize them to your ain needs.
This shelf is exclusively 12" deep, I couldn't honour whatsoever crate alongside those specific dimensions. So, I built it.
The hardest utilisation for me: The sign. Can y'all notice the shadow on those letters? Well, that's a error that somehow worked. I'll hand y'all to a greater extent than details almost the crate inward a time to come post. ;)
Here's the other side of the island. I nonetheless demand to alter that outlet.
And what exercise y'all intend almost the hardware? If y'all follow me on Instagram y'all mightiness shout back I posted 3 choices of hardware in addition to asked for aid on determining the 1 I should use. Ha, these ones were the winners in addition to they were every bit good my favorites.

Liberty - Southampton 1-¼ in. Venetian Bronze alongside Copper Highlights Square Base Cabinet Knob
I honey how they feel. They're smooth, company in addition to they expect great!
The other terminate of the isle is the microwave side. Look at the departure inward the color alongside lots of lite on it.
And here's the finally pic. It's all coming along in addition to hence nicely. I'm forthwith finishing details in addition to adding decor elements. I want I could motility faster, this is the indicate where I instruct anxious, I desire to come across the entire affair finished! :D
My side past times side post is almost the cabinet nether the sink. I'm finally giving it simply about organization.
