I put way too much value in what some other person (“a designer!”) said I would like, and ignored what I already knew I loved. From then on, I stayed away from white cabinets and only shopped for cream.

You need cream.”Īnd because she was A Designer – A Professional – I thought she knew better than me what I wanted. That’ll be too stark a contrast with your floors. To which she replied: “Oh, you don’t want white cabinets. I told her that I had dark wood floors and wanted white cabinets. At one place, there was a “designer” wandering the showroom to help customers choose their finishes. When we went cabinet shopping, we shopped all over : big box stores, tiny cabinet makers in boutique shops, weird warehouses in the ghetto, you name it. I designed the kitchen in the dinosaur ages pre-pinterest, but I had spent many, many blissful hours thumbing the pages of home design magazines and knew exactly what I wanted: white cabinets. And I think that’s why I’m so mad at myself. But it’s just nothing like what I set out to create. We have cream colored solid maple Thomasville cabinets we bought from Home Depot, oil-rubbed bronze faucet and cabinet hardware, solid brown/kinda crystally quartz counters and a slate backsplash. Once upon a time, a cute boy and a decor-obsessed girl bought a fixer-upper, and gutted the kitchen, giving the girl the chance to create her dream kitchen.įinally, those years of living in tiny rentals and gazing longingly at home photos and magazines would pay off! There was no reason for the new kitchen to turn out any way other than exactly what the girl wanted.īut something went terribly wrong and the girl learned lots of lessons and to this day, has a kitchen for which she is incredibly grateful, but which looks nothing like what she originally intended to create and kinda bums her out from time to time, when she forgets to be thankful for the newness and freshness of it.
