[…] In case you haven’t figured it out, that girl is me, and this is the kitchen that has tortured me since the day we moved in. Some folks love dark cherry cabinets and dark laminate countertops, but this girl is not one of them. I love bright and white cottage style. I lived with this dark kitchen for nearly ten years. It never even thought about painting my kitchen cabinets, and definitely didn’t think painting my countertops was possible, I mean, who does that? Well, a few months back, I was cruising around reading some of my favorite blogs, when I stumbled upon a Nuvo Cabinet Paint giveaway. I entered and forgot about it. Then I got an email saying I had won the paint giveaway. I was both excited and nervous. I consulted Matt, and we decided to try the white…boy am I happy we did….here is how our cabinets turned out. You can see the full White Kitchen Reveal by clicking here and where I opened up some of my kitchen cabinets here. […]

I ABSOLUTELY love this!!! The colors, the photography, the decor.. it’s so crisp, clean and FUN! I’d feel right at home in that kitchen! I’m also IN LOVE with the little menu board over your sink. HOW CUTE IS THAT?! I may have to go ahead and copy you… :D
Congratulations and your cabinets look beautiful – I love, love, love that aqua colour!!
congratulations…much deserved!!
Love the open cabinets!!! Congrats on your new adventure!
Love the open cabinets and what great color. Congrats to your new venture.
Yay! Congratulations! You’re a great fit for tt&j! I love your big-impact, super quick update too. I’ve been known to do the hairdryer thing myself. :)
Congratulations!!! So exciting! And your kitchen looks ah.maz.ing! I love the chalkboard over the sink and the painted window especially! You rock!
Love your kitchen update and congrats on the TT&J gig! You are already rockin’ 2013. Have a wonderful week!
I can totally picture you waving your hairdryer to dry the cabinets Jessica!! Sounds like something I would do!! Love how they turned out – such a pretty blue color! And big big Congrats on contributing to TT & J – you are a great fit and I can’t wait to see your posts there!!
OMG I love it! That aqua color is perfect against the white cabinets. I’m so jealous. I took the doors off a few of my cabinets but had to paint them white because I have an ugly green countertop that would look horrible with aqua. Can’t wait to see your painted counters – I want to paint mine so bad but am afraid the paint will peel off. Your kitchen looks amazing!

Congrats on the contribution to TT&J! Also, the cabinets look awesome! I really need to finish mine, as in, paint the inside of the doors and the backs. Beautiful job!
When I started reading this, I thought the first pic was the one you showed your husband as a model! But it’s YOURS! Unbelievable! Just beautiful! Wish my ‘moods’ ended up so well! Can’t wait to see the counters! Dona

That’s NICE!!!! Love it. That’s the color of my dishes.
Parties rockin in the house tonight! Congrats. LOVE your cabinets…I want to go rip off some doors now LOL. There is no way my husband would be as willing though.
I love how the turquoise totally ties it all together with the dining nook. Nice work!
I love, LOVE your open shelving! And, the color you chose is fabulous … your pretty dishes pop beautifully against it! And, CONGRATS to you … what a well-deserved honor. I’ll be tuning in, for sure! Hope to see you at Haven.
Raising a big fist of tatertots and a huge cup of jell-o in your honor! You are a rockstar and deserve to be hanging out with Jen! Love the cabinets too and those dishes!!

Congratulations! What exciting news! I absolutely love the kitchen. I found a mason/decorative jar that I loved and our new kitchen makeover is centering around aqua/turquoise and I adore it! I havent’ posted anything yet but I am loving the color! I love that you painted the inside of the cabinets. It looks great! Oh, never mind. I did post the hutch but the fence wood backsplash and mason jar chandelier are yet to come! Love your blog and thank you for visiting mine!

It is lovely. I love the colors so very much.
It came out awesome, Jessica! Love the colors!
Congratulations Jessica,I love Tatertots and Jello! I will be sure to stop by on the 4th Thursday. I love the cabinets too!
Congrats! And I LOVE the cabinets! That turned out so well – great job!!
OMG! What a difference it made to take off your doors and paint the inside with that gorgeous color! I am so amazed that you had so many green and aqua items to place on the shelves! You really hit a homerun with this as well as on T&J!
Your cabinets look great. I’m anxious to see your countertops and how you do them. I’m wanting to do mine.
Your kitchen looks amazing! I love it. :-)
Cute! I love that bright teal on the back of your cabinets. I took a door off too, just to dip my toe in the water a little bit and see if I could hack the new trend. You know what? I’m likin’ it! I threw baskets in my shelves and now my vitamins are within easy reach and I still get the “open concept” (but with all my junk hidden in the baskets). Congrats on your TT&J news!
Absolutely GORGEOUS Jess! love love love love love it!
Love, love, love it!! The color choice is spot on, and I can’t think of a better way to beat the winter blues. :)
love the open shelving and the bold pop of color. good for you!
I love the bold color choice for the background. And congrats on the tt&j contributing position! I’m so excited for you my friend! And so well-deserved!

This is the most beautiful kitchen redo I’ve seen in a long time, the colors are so what I would love in my home.
I am partial to turquoise and beachy looks so this is the most wonderful kitchen! Congrats. Found you off of HomeTalk
Fantastic Jessica….I so love the open cabinetry and the color is perfect!!! Can’t wait to see your countertops!
I love the colors and I’m so glad you found some white dishes that you like :) and for the TT&J venture~Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait to watch you grow!

That looks absolutely amazing. I love the aqua and open shelves. I would love for you to come and share this at my Winter Blues Wednesday party going on right now. Hope to see you there.
Hi Jessica…. found my way here from Savvy Southern Style.
I love the open cabinets. I have almost an identical layout in my kitchen and wondered how it would look if I opened up two of my cabinets, since the one on the right has 2 doors and the one on the left has only one. After seeing yours, I’m going to go for it!
Also…. I’m gearing up to paint my cabinets and I love the sounds of the Nuvo system. May I ask how your cabinets are holding up? Is the paint wearing well and are you happy with it?
Nice touch. It just looks great! Good luck with the countertops.
I’m loving the open look as well and yours look fabulous! Congrats on your TT&J contributorship (is that even a word?) ha! Have fun :)
I just love what you did with the cabinets!
It’s absolutely gorgeous!!! Love the color you chose…so perfect for your kitchen! Nice work, sista! And CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSS on your big news!! So well-deserved! So happy for you, sweet friend!!! ~V
You did a fabulous job. Love it, love it, love it!
Hopping by and following your lovely blog’s twitter, FB, G+ and Pinterest. I blog @ Getting Healthy with Essential Oils
I am also inviting you to join Tiddle Diddle Handmade Shoppe’s first giveaway event.
I LOVE that color combination! If my kitchen looked like that I would cook all the time. Also, congrats on becoming a contributor to Tatertots and Jello! That blog is one of my favorites as well.
I host a link party every Thursday – I’d love you have you join and share this.
Thank you for the great post!

It take that kind of bravery to make cool things happen. The changes are dramatic and so fun!

Wow! These cabinets look awesome! I can’t believe it only cost you $53 for such a huge impact! Great job!

Great change! Just a word of warning. I hate to be a kill-joy, but latex paint takes up to a month to cure. Especially in cooler weather. I’ve made the mistake in the past to put things back on shelves, before the paint had completely dried, and wish I hadn’t. Cheers!
I’ve been wanting to take off a few doors
as you did and now I have the motivation..
thanks for sharing.
Sandy
Wow! Great update! I love that you used a blow dryer in between coats – that’s one of my moves, too.
Love how this turned out!! I did my pantry with a different color back wall. Never thought of this!!
Stopping by from Happy Hour!

I guess I had better go check out Tatertots and Jello – 2 words I never thought I would type together.
I want to do something similar, but I haven’t had the nerve. I guess I just need to go for it.
Wow–love what you are doing with your kitchen! The open cabinets look fantastic–I love the color you used on the inside. Looking forward to seeing what you do on your counters!
Your open shelves are beautiful! I’m so glad you took the risk because it looks really great, adds the perfect pop of color and it looks so good against the white. And yay! Congrats on being a TT&J contributor!!!
Wow this looks amazing and so fun and cheery. What a great place to hang out and cook in your kitchen. Enjoy the fun new update!
Jessica, it looks amazing ! congrats on your contributor role at TT&J…she is lucky to have you…ox
THat is just beautiful! I came over from Savvy Southern Style cause I just had to pin this!
Un lavoro fantastico,ora la tua cucina ha una luce meravigliosa!

This kitchen is amazing!!! I am in the process of trying to figure out what to do with mine and this has totally inspired me. I wanted to paint my wood cabinets white and paint the kitchen cream. Love the color inside the cabinets. My husband is very anti-white. Sent him this link so he can see just how fabulous, bright, cheerful and anything BUT boring a white kitchen can be!! Thanks for the inspiration and hopefully it will get him to agree to let me give it a go. :)
Love the aqu a n the background. You are daring to open your cabinets like that. I could nt do that in my kitchen.
I haven’t been able to actually comment on this, and now, that I can I have to say I’m totally IN LOVE! Your da bomity-bomb, girl!
Jessica, these open cabinets are really sweet looking! I love the bold aqua you chose to use. It really brightens up your kitchen. Nice job!
I love the colors and how it all works together. I am a new follower and look forward to seeing more. I wanted to do that with mine but hubby wasn’t having it. Might eventually do a glass type door but we will have to wait and see.
That is so fresh and pretty! Love the colors, all of it! This kitchen is full of personality. Love it! Sharon
How did you hang your cups under you cabinet? Love that!
Hi, Kristina! I used cup hooks that screw into the wall. You can get them anywhere for about $3 for a pack of 10. Have a fabulous day!
I love what you did in your kitchen. It’s so bright and cheery! Everything came together so beautiful!!
I love this aqua color! Can you share what brand/color it is? Excited to try this!
Hi, Tracy! Thank you! The color is Escape and it is Americana Decor Chalky Finish paint that can be purchased online at The Home Depot. Hope this helps! xoxo Jessica
Can you tell me the color paint that you used for the cabinets at Lowes?
Thanks! Love it!!!
