Kitchen Makeover! Painting the cabinets and getting it wrong
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- This week, I had a bit of a decor fail. I have been tackling jobs this Spring in the kitchen to refresh it. One of the things I want to do is change my kitchen cabinet colour and change my countertop. So, even though I did some testers, I still got the shade wrong.
I am sure that I am not alone in making this mistake. Picking paint colours can be hard. The shades mentioned in this video are Benjamin Moore Pale Oak, and Colourtrend Watch House.
My inspiration images belong to @nabela from her Instagram home account @nabelanoorhome.

Thankfully my kitchen fail only cost me €30 and my time.

Just a suggestion, having renovated multiple kitchens... Pick out the tile you want for your backsplash before you repaint your cabinets. Make sure the tile compliments your new countertop, THEN pick out the paint color of your cabinets. Especially with whites, there are so many shades and tones, you'd be amazed how much they'll clash with backsplash tile if the tile has any white in it. Just don't want you to have to paint again if you fall in love with a backsplash tile and find that it's clashing with your new cabinet color. Great video as always and good luck with the next go-round of painting.
This. Paint after tile and worktop installation!
The green was my favorite of your choices you’ve made so far on your kitchen cabinets. You always have the nicest videos and it certainly takes us out of the troubles in the world for a bit! Can’t wait til real garden season!!!! Thank you for your videos!
I'm glad Dede that means a lot to me ❤️
The pale green kitchen cabinets were my absolute favorite! I have liked all colors but that green was gorgeous ♥️
Oh thank you ❤️ yes I did adore that colour too and still do to be fair!
Ditto! I loves that colour in her kitchen.
I absolutely loved the green also!!!!💚
I too loved the green. I think it felt more cottage.
I also liked the green, but I am partial to greens.
I vote for the pale green you had! It was my favorite!!
Hi Catherine my favorite color was the sage green. The color of the cabinets don't look bad but maybe you can wait till you get your new countertops in before you paint the cabinets again.❤
Yes, I think this is a good idea 🥰
I love your videos! You are just a delight to watch! You have such a sweet personality! You remind me of Rory from Gilmore Girls 😄💕 I just repainted my bedroom the third time in the last couple of weeks so I can relate to finding the right color is hard!😄 💗
I liked the warmer colour on the chair, but your house always looks amazing anyway. SoI’m confident you’ll find your favourite colour
I ❤️ the sage green cabinets! Picking paint colors is very stressful for me. Luckily, like you said, it only cost a little bit of money and some time. Thanks for your videos!
Green is gangbusters in the U. S. So natural and woodsy.
You are the sunshine in your home, that is for sure. All your videos make me smile. There just can't be any gray around you ;-) In the end, whatever colour(s) you chose, it will look lovely and fine. (As it always also did in between).
Naawh thanks so much you're so sweet ❤️
I discovered you about a week or two ago Catherine, and you're already making a genuine difference to my life! I've got my "junk room" almost fully decluttered after years and years of procrastination! Mistakes and all, please keep doing what you're doing, we need you in these dark days.
Awwww I love hearing this 🥰🥰🥰 Welldone you ❤️
I think the new color is beautiful!
When you change the countertops and backsplash it will all come together.
Greetings Catherine! The sage green was by far my favorite color on your cabinets. I want to paint my outdated wood cabinets a sage green, but haven't got up the courage yet. Paint colors are definately frustrating! I have had my share of flops and failures. For some reason the lighting in my house makes the pale colors I think I'm choosing turn out really dark on the walls. Just keep pushing forward until you get the right look. You are so creative and a breath of fresh air with your charm and personality.
I know the frustration I had my kitchen cabinets painted recently and it took me months to decide on the colour. It was suggested to me to paint my colour choices on cardboard and tape them to the cabinet doors. Then I left them for a few days so I could see the colours different times of the day with the different light. This helped tremendously! Good luck hope you find your perfect colour!
That's definitely a good idea!!
The sage green was my favourite colour. Your kitchen looked lovely when it was that colour and with your new tap and counter top it would look even more gorgeous. Very Lydia Millen-Gordon! That's my vote anyway 😁😍
I adore her kitchen 🥰
@@DaintyDiaries could not agree more. You're like a mini version with your wee greenhouse and raised beds 😁😍
The sage green was a great colour! Everyone does white everything theses days. Can’t wait to see the new countertops.
I loved the green cabinets….would look gorgeous with brass handles.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
wow, lighting really does make a massive difference! Choosing the right colour is trickier than ya think ...absolutely love the new door knobs 🥰🥰
Catherine, my favorite color of your kitchen cabinets was the sage green but you always make your house beautiful!! I love everything that you have done over the years.I am excited to see what else you do.I just love the color pink so your house is just a beautiful home to me!💗
I agree with others about the sage green cabinets. The color was warm and lovely. Maybe go a lighter sage green? I think you need a contrast in the kitchen otherwise it will look like it all blends in. Also someone said to wait till you have your countertop in to choose your cabinet paint color. I agree with that too. See what color works best with the countertop. In the 90’s I painted our super small dinning room a dusty blue AND rose pink by doing a “sea sponge” paint process. Well…let me tell you….I thought I was being trendy but dang it was an EPIC fail!!! 😳🙄
I can’t remember how long I had those colors but I changed it to a beige and did a “rag rolling” paint process (another trend in the 90’s) which gave a textured look. Yikes! The struggles we face when trying to make our homes feel warm and comfy! 😂😂
I love the colors but I to fancy the greens and pinks. Awesome as always Catherine
I design kitchens everyday and there are thousands of whites. Your counter may also influence your cabinet colour and your backsplash needs to be a pattern or texture because if you’re doing white it will be another tone. Good news its just a monochromatic look but yes you need to get the hue right, all warm in your case. FYI mine is white uppers and navy base with a backsplash of hexagon in colours and textures. I love it, its not everyone’s taste but I always get compliments. Just saying I love your enthusiasm even when you made a wee error in a white selection. Can’t wait to see your reveal! You always make me smile , Thank you for sharing!
Hi Catherine! You gave me a good laugh at the “50 shades of grey cabinets”! You’re such fun to watch! Can’t wait to see your reveal! Much love from Cobbs Creek, Virginia USA 🇺🇸❤️
I was in love with the green but I feel the direction yr going is beautiful and is more grown up like yr bathroom you go girl 👏
I once painted my bedroom what I thought would. be a pale, cheerful yellow and when the paint was dry it was like being inside an egg yolk! OMG! I couldn't face painting it all over again, so in desperation I dipped a rag in some pale pink paint (I know--sounds weird, but it worked), and did a light-touch faux finish over the yellow (this was back in the days when faux finishes were all the go.) It toned down the egg yolk, thank heaven, and I liked it better than the plain yellow. So--be of good cheer; your kitchen cabinets will look great very soon!
Well …….All the inspiration kitchens you pictured were ALL white kitchens , walls, cabinets, countertops so am thinking that if you go with a warm tone that it’s not going to give the effect your wanting. Pictures show light/bright “let the sun shine in” look.
Will add that although the current peach color is lovely, I really liked the green you had beforehand. As one who has an all white kitchen now (and it’s my second one) my suggestion would be to consider a white color for the top cabinets and a color like teal/sage green, soft light blue for the bottom. White cabinets need SO much cleaning especially bottom cabinets. Just my .02 on the subject. 🤷🏻♀️
🥂Here’s to you finding the color the makes you happy and looking forward to the final reveal! You’ve got such a lovely cottage, and your videos bring us all joy watching your projects! 👍🏼
Evening Catherine hope you are well. I’m so pleased you have trouble with colours too. Every room in my house has been 50 shades of what my husband said was the same colour?!?!? I think you should name and shame the tap company 🤣🤣 xxx
👍Catherine you have the patience of a saint👍🥰 and such a calming, cheerful personality 🥰🥰
Thanks Sara ❤️
I love it that you are so human! We appreciate you
You live and learn Sandy 🤣 thanks for watching ❤️
so much white! I do think a bit of contrast is good. I liked the green and the "pink" Lighting and the camera and our screens can make colors look so different.
My sister renovated her kitchen and while the cabinets were being built and painted (White Dove), we went and picked out tile for backsplash . As particular and careful we were trying to be, when the cabinets and the tile went up they did not work at all. The cabinet color had a creamy white hue and the backsplash was stark white. Two whites so close it clashed . I feel like if she were to do it all over again, she would pick her countertop slab first then pick out the paint for the cabinets, paint a sample board to put beside the slab to be sure. Then, only after the cabinets and the countertops are in, she would live with it for a while and THEN choose the tile or wallpaper for the backsplash.
That sneeze though….lol cute as a bugs ear. ♥️
Studio mcgee is taking over our lives!!
I liked the green that complimented all your dainty pinks, but I totally understand wanting to refresh your room. I'm in the middle of doing the same. Funny how you start off intending to change one thing, then you have to replace another thing because it no longer matches and before you know it, it's snowballed into a complete room makeover.
I know right 🤣🤣 that's how it goes Norma 🤣❤️ thanks for stopping by xx
Good Luck with the cabinet paint color! I'm in the middle of a project of board and baton in my kitchen/dinette and I've been going round and round with paint color till my head was spinning. I think I finally figured it out. I have paint samples hanging on the walls because each wall has different lighting coming in. Hanging the paint samples really helped me. I had 7 different shades going, ha ha🤣.....going to be ready for the funny farm by the time it's finished.
Oh my gosh that sounds beyond frustrating too Karen 🤣 hope you found the right shade!!! ❤️
@@DaintyDiaries
fingers crossed, I hope so.
You too! I hope you find that special color!
Saw you on tv the other day 😊 in the show houses show. I was so excited to see you. My fav Irish youtuber,❤️
I loved the sage green. I even dreamed of painting mine that color. Pick what speaks to your heart.
You are not alone lass, cazillions of us have been there, picking the wrong colour, trying umpteen pots of sample colours. It's frustrating but you are still smiling so the cuppateas must be doing their job! I did like the green though. Lovely video. Thankyou.
Thanks Tina 💗 we've all been there indeed! Thanks for stopping by xx
Ok you are so funny. I love the knobs you bought. The beautiful warm green you put in the greenhouse would be lovely. It would look great with the gold metal.. unless you're thinking of an all white look. Either way I'm sure it will be beautiful. Good luck 👍
Thanks Kelly 💗
I really like that you painted the plinth. Hopefully you will be happy with whatever color you want. I always like my colors in the warmer tone.
You'll get it worked out! Enjoy tea while you relax. The paint samples will help a lot. Cheers!
Loved this video. ❤️
The green was my favourite but I can't wait to see how turns out. I really love your style and can't wait for your book. 💜
I loved the green. Xx
Your so right about how different lights change paint colours , I’m a decorator and come across this all the time with customers saying hey I that’s not the colour I chose 🤣 I must admit I did really like the sage green you had but anyway I’ve no doubt you’ll get it a colour you like. Loving the new handles and tap can’t wait to see the final reveal 🌸 xx
Catherine, I would have had something a bit stronger in my teacup by now. 😂 My garage is full of sample paint and I had swatches on all my walls for months before finding the perfect shade. 😂
Can't wait to see the progression of the kitchen makeover. I hope you got your money back quickly from the UK company. I love the one you got from IKEA.
❤🤗
I should have swapped out the tea you're right Lynne 🤣🤣🤣
@@DaintyDiaries 😂🤣🤣
I loved the green you did originally
The green was my favorite.
It's still a big kitchen. No room in my kitchen for any table and chairs!
Looks great!
Hello Catherine, I live in the United States I watch your channel weekly and love it, as soon as your book was ready for order I acted right away. Oh HAPPY Day it came in finally today, let me tell you and everyone who hasn’t ordered yet, What’s taking you so long waiting was worth the wait I LOVE it I’m so Happy with it. Great job Girl 2chicky thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
awwwwwwww thank you so so much! I really appreciate your kindness x
Sometimes, the shop can add a little tint to your existing paint to change it. If they will look up the formula for your chair color, they might be able to add something to make the new paint a better blend with your wall color. I think I would wait until your new countertops are installed to make your final cabinet color decision, since alot of light will be reflected by the counters. Looking forward to the outcome.
Nice job paint colors!!!!
Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Your ideas and videos are so great!
I also loved the green. Maybe white cabin but green on the walls ha ha. Not to decorate your house lol. Anything you decide will be lovely 💕💕
* cabinets
I could just imagine how much work it took to do all that.good luck can’t wait to see the final.
Love your videos Catherine. It'll all work out in the end; can't wait to see the end result 💞
Love to see the updates. Your kitchen looked fantastic before you repainted but anything you do always looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the reveal.
Thank you for sharing! I enjoy your videos as well and your ideas☺️ I love your rug in your kitchen!
Hi Dainty, I really enjoy watching your videos, especially on a Saturday morning with a cuppa 😊
I moved into my house last year and oh my days there's lots of DIYing to do! I've finally been able to choose my paint colours and I have found Lick stick on samples are a huge help as you can move them around the room and get a better idea what it looks like in different lights. Plus the samples are only a £1 with free delivery 🥳 I hope this helps. Can't wait for the next video 😁
Hey there from Texas,
I love the attitude that you have about all of your projects. “No worries, it’ll all be grand, let’s have a cuppa tea”
😉😉😉
Yes you’re right, natural (and artificial) lighting drastically affects paint colors!!!
It can be very frustrating, but I’ve no doubt that your cabinets will look wonderful. Along with your new countertops and backsplash.
I have to say, I’m sooo excited for you, you FINALLY get to celebrate yalls beloved holiday out and about with your family and mates!!!!!!
🍀🍺🍿🍀
One other thing I wanted to mention~
Now that your attic door is no longer an orange-y yellow color, but light, airy, and white, maybe you could consider attaching a sturdy handle to the center???
Those kind of openings are a bit of a challenge to open and close, especially standing on a ladder.
A handle could give you more support and control, of the door, while lifting and lower it.
You could get one in white, it won’t be that noticeable.
🙂🙂🙂
With it being white, your dusty handprints will show up, all over the wood, when you open it for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This way hopefully, you’d only need to clean the handle.
Anyway, it’s just a thought, I just wanted to mention it in case you hadn’t thought of it…
Have a wonderful and safe Saint Patrick’s Day
Take care, and God bless
💚🕊💐
Loving your video as always.certainly not a fail you are amazing and talented and so cheery x
God bless you Girl, that’s a lot of painting! Looking forward to the final choice and redo 💕
Hi Catherine love the color, so much light👏👏👏 beautiful, like always. 💖
I understand about different whites. I had my house painted white inside. The ceiling looks white but the walls look yellow. I would have preferred a pink tone than a yellow one. But I didn’t know at the time 🤦🏼♀️
This is so fun watching you change your kitchen! I think it looks nice but I can't wait to see it all finished! You have so much ambition. Have a lovely week-end Catherine and Blondie looked so sweet with her curled tail!
Thank you for sharing the good and the not so good. It’s refreshing to see reality instead of picture perfect stuff all the time. That said, I think the color is still quite nice looking, but it helps to see other people struggle sometimes. It helps me feel like I’m not alone! Best of luck finding the perfect shade for you!
Catherine, I find paint shopping to be a very frustrating experience! Once I had an idea that a yellow bedroom was what I wanted. I figured it would be pleasant to wake up to. WRONG!!! It turned out like lemons and we couldn't live with it!!! Ugh. Not the only time I royally screwed up! :) On a better note- we had our kitchen cabinets painted a soft white and it totally opened up the kitchen. They were that oak that's so dull. xo
That is so frustrating! These days even if you want just plain white there are SO many shades of white to choose from. It boggles the mind!
Sadly you chose the wrong yellow. A hint of lemon in the white shade family would have been a more pleasant experience I think.
@@dorisdaylight8415 Yes, but we repainted it a much lighter yellow and I still don't like yellow for a bedroom. I needed a more peaceful color :)
@@suebabe100 I didn't want to give my opinion to yellow in a bedroom. If I really wanted lemon it would be white with just that drop of lemon in it. You would have to look hard to see the lemon component. I hope you are more pleased with your next colour. Choosing the right colour is difficult so don't be too hard on yourself.
I adore your persistence. 💪💪💪 I redid my kitchen including tiles, counters and flooring and also painted my cabinets a few weeks ago, alas, it didn't turn out the way I wanted. I wasn't willing or able to paint them again... Maybe once spring comes...
Dear, whites are the most difficult color to deal with! I know I have been trying to find the proper color of white for my townhouse home for several years! I LOVED the shade of white when I moved in many years ago but no record of the color was kept by the builders or developer. Now finding a similar white that simulates what was originally here is PROVING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!! I didn’t know about undertones when I first began, which was an eye opener. Then I discovered there are a million shades of WHITE! Oh my GOODNESS!!
I think all the colors you have painted them looks great . Love your videos and your house!!
You are so funny !😂I get them the paint tones wrong all the time and you'd think one would learn by the time they turn 70!! Lol. Your home is so darling, warm cozy and oh so cute❤
Loved your green cabinets!❤️
Loved all of your Kitchen shades 🤩🤩🤩
It is truly a lovely pleasure to watch your videos, Catherine. Thank you. 💗🤍
Aw thank you 🥰
Love your videos 😍😍😍 cute accent. Such a pretty cottage house loved your green kitchen cuboards xx
Oh bless your heart Catherine, very frustrating but yeah, totally livable until you find your perfect shade. You'll definately get there honey. Love that you're OK with the situation and just getting on with PMA hun. You go girl! 🥰😻👍xxx
I did the paint mistake in my living room it had a slight blue under tone after I had finished it I did'nt like it but kept it for a year as we get a lot of dull wet weather I think we need the warmer shades in our homes thank you Catherine for your time and share i'm looking forward to your new look kitchen.xx
Our great room here in the Rockies has Northern exposure and LOTS of natural light. I am planning on using Pale Oak in the room. At first I thought I might use it all over the house but I have read and heard SO many people say it *really* changes color in different light and your video just proved it! I might even end up just doing white in the other rooms. Can't wait to see the after when you get it settled. You are right. When you are frustrated you should just stop and take a break, then come back to it when you have a clear mind. Been there so many times!
The kitchen looks beautiful 👍😊❤️
Like how you handle a challenge of color, but try to stick close to your “mood boar”.Maybe wait for the counters are in place before you paint. You may want ultra white🤷🏻♀️paint, and replace your table with a movable island. Hmmmm decisions, decisions. Enjoying the video. Can’t wait for your selection. 🌻👍
The words of my great grandma (She was Irish too) ring in my head with situations like yours "Oh it will do rightly". I take after my Polish father very pernickety. What ever you do I am sure it will look really nice.
Haha I was just considering painting my cream kitchen a warm sage! Hope you're loving your new look.
I have loved every colour your cabinets have been, I painted mine white and took a leap of faith and decoupaged the drawers with country roses it has held up quite well but I am about to chang it up as I had a new pot sink fitted and it makes them look a little tired.
I am thinking I might go for a very pale pink this time as I loved yours pink.
I think the kitchen is the hardest to get right but I am sure you will find your perfect shade. Xxx
I like that you share your 'mistakes' as it keeps it real 😉. I have liked all the colours though
I recently did the same Catherine, I painted the wall in my guest room a beautiful pale sage green but it looks like mould 🤣. I like the chair colour for the cupboards and I’d just add pops of colour in accessories.
Beautiful job i love all your hard work 💜 ❤ everything always looks great 👍 very smart of you to do everything yourself. 🤗🤗
Has to be done Linda 💗 thanks for stopping by xx
Can't wait to see the finished room!
Love the white kitchen looks fresh and especially painting the kick board . Love the brass tap too 🐦💜
Thanks Lulu!! It'll get there eventually 🤣❤️
Great video...can't wait what color You'll go for n how your kitchen will turn out...my fave color in your kitchen was the sage green...and its true at the store the paint color looks great but sometimes totally different at home...started to get paint samples n try them out on different lighting for a few days before buy the paint n painting...😊💕
This is what I love about your videos, you smile and laugh even when it doesn’t turn out as you had hoped , me personally I love all that you do . Happy St Patrick’s Day ! X
Awe thank you Diane 🥰
Delightful fun and chatty video. Love your candour and that you are sharing not so successful diys too. I am looking forward to the kitchen transformation and the inspiration pics and super. Sending love to you and Ms Blondie 🤗💖💐
Thank you sweetie 💗💗💗
Hi Catherine,
Love your home it’s great! Just discovered your vlogs this week & love them. You’re such a delight & yes my favourite colour was the green kitchen paint! Good luck with your countertops etc. Greetings from Australia.
Aw I’m so glad you found me 🥰 thanks for watching and commenting
Yip, paint colours....I can relate! I am sure you'll get it sorted, our kitchen cabinets were sprayed and depending on the time of the day, season, if it's sunny, rainy, etc it can look different colours!
very interesting....Catherine I really like the new colour on your kitchen cabinets; and think that you will find it easier to match to new backsplash tiles etc....you will see that that bit of grey tone to the cabinet colour starts to work along with your other accents even if they are warmer tones....I think it will all come together. Exciting!♥
My kitchen has been so many colors in the last couple of years! LOL But I am still looking for that just right color. Keep up the beautiful work you do. You encourage us all to live our best life.
Yey another new video 🤩
Can't wait to see the final look of your kitchen. I feel sad for what happened I think you should say who the company is so they don't fall victims any more. Stay safe always Ms. Catherine
I think when I paint walls, or other things in my home I have to paint it twice at least. I seem to never get it right the first time. You are so right, lighting and shadows etc. make a big difference from one place to another. Your video was great fun!
I like the same shade of white chair on the cabinets. Right now it looks white not gray, on camera. You have great vision & taste. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Canada!
You are such a hard worker and I admire your attitude when things don't work out. We had such confusion trying to pick the 'perfect' white when repainting our home (v popular in Australian homes). Love the door knobs. Love seeing Blondie (now and 2014 🥰). Always enjoy ur videos. Hi from Australia xx
Aww Katherine, you are just so adorable! I love your kichen! Xx
Everyone loved your green kitchen. To be honest, i love the pink kitchen alot,that's maybe because pink is one of my favourite colours.
That video is so beautiful anyway. I enjoy the washing machine,sounds like a plane ready to take off🛫🤭
The green kitchen is pretty too though,but i am a "pink kitchen"😊
I loved all phases of the kitchen too but it's time for a refresh! ❤️❤️
@@DaintyDiaries i am sure it'll turn out beautiful. You have this special talent, what ever you paint,or how ever,it looks lovely. I am looking foward to the update. Have a lovely day🌞🌷
Just a thought...how about blue,lightblue🤔😊
Love light and bright!
