Kitchen Update

I've become quite well acquainted with Martha Stewart...Martha Stewart paint, that is!   I love Martha's paint colors, but,  unfortunately, Martha's paint won't be around for long.   According to our sources, Home Depot is phasing it out soon. 

After much deliberation (I have a horrible time picking out the right paint color!),  MacGyver husband and I spent the New Year's weekend painting our existing cabinetry Martha's Sharkey Gray and Bedford Gray...


  I'm probably the last one on the bandwagon, but I love gray cabinetry, especially after seeing Sally Wheat's kitchen on Cote De Texas...





And, of course, Martha's gray kitchen...



I wish I had a lovely photo to show our version of gray cabinetry here at Love and Life at Leadora, but you'll have to stay tuned!   Also, the apron sink is in, the countertops are being installed Thursday, and the new light fixtures are on their way!  I am so excited!

  2. we gor an update from your mom when we visited her last week. sounds like you have a large project you're working on. I'm itching to paint again.... probably need to do that when I retire, so I don't get grouchy or expect John to help! he's got enough on his plate with teaching college courses & fulfilling a full-time contract with SLOCOE.

  5. Hi Heather! I'm really anxious to see your kitchen makeover. Martha's paint is frustrating because stores keep phasing it out. First Menard's had it and then it was gone. Then Lowe's had it and now it's gone. And now you say Home Depot is phasing it out. Ugh! I love her paint colors but it seems each time the paint goes to a different store, the colors change as well.

  6. I am intrigued how your kitchen will turn out! I thought gray is a dull color for kitchen but it really looks very nice and has a modern touch! I like it!
    I wonder why are they phasing out Martha Stewart's paint? hmmm..

  10. I love Sharkey Gray. I painted it on the inside of a hutch and have been trying to find something else to paint with it. I can't wait to see how the cabinets turn out. Sounds like a fun project for the winter time.

  17. Love these wonderful 'greys' to bad that they won't be available for long.

    I am so excited to see the stove and the countertops. I noticed the white tile backsplashes in the pictures you posted. Looks great!

  19. Oh, I can't wait to see it! Kitchen renovations are certainly not for the faint of heart and most definitely a labor of love.

    I borrowed your woodland tree theme for my topiary tree in my dining room for the winter months. Thanks for posting that lovely tree for all of us to drool over! Pier One certainly got some of my after Christmas allowance. :)

    Have a great week and best wishes on the kitchen...Love the colors of grey!
