We just had hardwood floor put in our kitchen and dining room area. We are getting new moss green carpet in the living room (the kitchen "falls" into the living room), it's kind of a dark sage green. Anyway, I'm getting country blue slip covers for my couch and that will be accented with sage gingham check and toile pillows.
When the carpet is in, we are going to paint all the walls (living room, kitchen, and dining room) with an antique white. We are also going to paint the cabinets in antique white.
Now, to get to the point of this post LOL, I am thinking about maybe painting the center of each cabinet with sage green in a gingham check pattern.Or another option is to decoupage some gingham material on (that might be better!). I'm including a picture below of what the cabinets look like right now and would love to hear any thoughts or ideas on this.
The reason I've decided to go with the green is because the living room and kitchen are right next to each other, they are not closed off from each other. So the colors from the living room kind of "need" to spill into the kitchen.
The picture below shows that the cabinets have a border that goes around in a rectangular fashion. Inside of this is where I think I'll put the gingham and I'll probably paint the lines themselves green (sage).
Or do you think I should do it in reverse? Put the gingham on the outside of the rectangle and leave the center white? I'll be replacing all trhe knobs of course too
Would love your input, especially on that shape above the window!
