Smitten With a Gray Kitchen

I know, "smitten" really rhymes with "kiTTen", and not "kitCHen."

Indulge me, if you will. :)

I'll be the first to say that, for me, when it comes to kitCHens,

white cabinets reign supreme.

But this gray one has me reconsidering.

In the next year or so I'd like to give our kitchen a little face lift.

Not a remodel, but a little pick me up. 

Things I'd like to copy from this one:

1. painted cabinets

2. open shelves

3. contrasting painted island

4. horizontal planks instead of tile for a backsplash - so great with our colonial farmhouse

And do I spy a Dutch door too? 

Those just make me happy!
