fast cabinet makeover

I bought the coolest green contact paper at Home Depot and finally lined my open cabinets with them. It only took me 45 minutes to do it but I was interrupted by a quick trip to Urgent Care for Brian (a story for later).

Here is what they looked like Saturday morning:


And now..






I now walk into the kitchen and yell "Bam!". I'm thinking of painting the brick the same color as the paper but I'm not sure. It's not like I have nothing else to do around here :) Oh and I need to replace that dinky shelf with something more substantial and maybe a natural wood color. I'll keep looking at Goodwill, something is bound to turn up.

I would leave the brick alone. the contrast is fantastic! That is what makes the cabinets pop so beautifully.

Don't paint the brick! It looks so fresh and happy with the green and blue together!

I love your style!!! I agree leave the brick alone, I love the contrast and it brings the blue up from the floor. New to your blog, but I think I'll become a follower. Love the chair redo too!
