I never liked the color blue in home decor. Nope. Not for me. So I don't know why I am so obsessed with it now. I just love turquoise and all shades related to it, from the palest blue green in Sherwin Wiliams Sea Salt to the brightest Teal. I love it all. I think it has something to do with my love of the ocean. I used to live right on the
beach in Scituate MA and I miss it. The colors of the water are calming and fresh, just what I need in my hectic life. Three kids, a husband, two dachshunds and a life in the political world have me longing for a leisurely life in a cottage by the sea. I haven't been to the ocean in 2 years, and I am going crazy. I live in the mountains, and go to lakes and the river, but it is just not the same.
After months of indecision, I have decided on
Sherwin Williams Sea Salt for my living room. Now I am thinking about changing my kitchen wall color. It's currently a very bright orangey yellow. I am wondering about an aqua blue in the kitchen. I saw an episode of Design Star on HGTV where contestants painted a kitchen a bright aqua blue. Vern Yip was horrified and said that blue was a terrible color for a kitchen because it suppresses appetite. What nonsense. Look at these beautiful blue/green kitchens I found!
I don't know what paint color this is, but I absolutely love it!
Love this kitchen with the combination of the soft white against the pale aqua. The hood painted a darker shade looks great.
I like the pale aqua with the bright pops of red and orange.
Wow! Look at that tile! Now that's a bold statement. Looks like shimmering water.
So vintage, so cute!
Love the mid century modern look!
I must have these appliances...
... and all these kitchen gadgets!!
So what do you think about aqua in a kitchen?
I love it and am almost decided to do it. thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteOh do it! And then post pictures!
DeleteI'm trying to fight off the blue urge and just use it in accents. I hope you didn't set me off in the wrong direction with those beautiful pics! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteI am torn, Maureen. I like the soft walls with blue accents, but I also like the soft aqua walls with white accents!
