When Kim asked for a color to paint her walls in her kitchen, I took a look at the existing green granite that we were keeping to get some clues. I thought while we had the painter and tiler here in other parts of the house… How about a simple kitchen update?
Painting the island Benjamin Moore Fieldstone to complement the granite
New Monarch wood floors, too.
I didn’t take before photos of this room except for this backsplash…
New Subway Tile Backsplash
We changed it to a hand fired crackle finish grey green subway tile (nice with the granite) from Home Depot.
New Pendant Light Over The Sink
Where there had previously been a recessed light, I suggested a Limoges pendant by Suzanne Kasler to make a statement over the sink.
We got a Simple Kitchen Update without the cost of a new kitchen.
You can see Kim’s living room and dining room makeovers here and here.
Here’s another pretty pendant over a sink.
We are in Los Angeles now with our daughter, Alexandra…headed to San Diego to be with the rest of the family.
Wishing you a safe and cozy Christmas!!!
I would love for you to subscribe to my posts by email.

Mary Ann, as usual it’s a hit. Do you know if the painters sprayed the cabinets or brushed them? I’m redoing an old house and I’m trying to decide of a pendant or rececessed light over the sink–I think something like this with a hit of brass in it. Thanks

The fronts were sprayed and the rest hand-painted.

What a great way to update and brighten Kim’s kitchen. The back splash looks amazing and the pendant is a great statement piece for the kitchen.
Enjoy the upcoming New Year, may 2019 be a great year for us all.

Paint, new backsplash, and lighting are the trifecta for kitchen face lifts – this one was truly inspired, so pretty!
