Now onto this week! We're getting excited to commence epitome our "Beauty on a Small Budget Challenge" projection which we've also come upwards to inquire ourselves, why didn't nosotros intend of doing this projection before? It's 1 of those jobs that doesn't accept a lot of money, as well as because it's paint, tin actually brand a big impact.

Some of y'all may cry upwards (rewind vi years ago), nosotros moved into our townhouse as well as since nosotros couldn't afford to construct the kitchen of our dreams dorsum then, nosotros installed what nosotros idea of every bit a "temporary kitchen" until nosotros could afford what nosotros actually wanted. Even though nosotros idea it was a five-year plan, life gets inwards the way, as well as that fourth dimension has nevertheless non come upwards yet. In fact, sometimes nosotros joke — every bit pattern bloggers, our lives are so involved alongside projects as well as blogging as well as writing well-nigh beautiful interiors, that embarrassingly enough, our ain habitation has been neglected, as well as unfinished.

But this challenge has been only the boot inwards the pants nosotros needed to salve a piffling appear upwards (for our upcoming vacation visitors) as well as straightaway nosotros can't hold back to encounter the concluding result. Which is where y'all come upwards in. We demand your assistance to pick out a color for our opened upwards shelving. And nosotros receive got a fun giveaway every bit exercise of it!

To plough over y'all a flake of background: When nosotros painted our kitchen — 5 years ago, blackboard pigment was our jam. We painted the characteristic wall alongside blackboard pigment as well as since as well as then receive got been contemplating what to create alongside it since. We set upwards some opened upwards shelving which nosotros had been planning to pigment every bit well, but nosotros couldn't commit to a colour, as well as every bit mentioned, things got a piffling hectic or so here, hence unfinished.

To live honest, we'd dear to completely re-paint the entire wall as well as cupboards (possibly white), set upwards some subway scheme tile as well as pigment the cupboards as well as larn a novel countertop, but quite frankly, that's a flake ambitious for us at this fourth dimension of year. But nosotros create think, if nosotros pigment the shelving, it'll brand a big deviation as well as maybe it'll live only the elevator to bear us through the vacation flavour as well as until nosotros create receive got the fourth dimension as well as coin to larn a piffling closer to our dream kitchen.

So nosotros inquire you. What color should nosotros pigment the opened upwards shelving? Should nosotros actually become to the night side as well as become dark on black? Or should they live an accent as well as live all white? Here's what they await similar presently. (Quite frankly, these photos are actually difficult to exhibit to you, so PLEASE attempt to ignore the whole mess, as well as particularly the dark countertops —another affair nosotros temporarily did to salve coin as well as receive got them inwards on fourth dimension for Xmas a few years ago). Long even (but it boiled downwardly to nosotros couldn't larn what nosotros wanted on fourth dimension every bit it had to live ordered, so nosotros went alongside what was available at the time—black).

Okay, so dorsum to our electrical current challenge. We could've only painted the blackboard wall white as well as and then painted the shelves white too, but if nosotros did, nosotros intend the dark stove that sits to a higher identify the closet describe (another pet peeve), would actually popular as well as live besides noticeable. So we're trying to camouflage it, along alongside a few other details past times using pigment (for now) as well as some magical styling (later as well as for the reveal). Yes a flake of a challenge. So are y'all upwards for it? H5N1 giveaway is involved if y'all want to participate, all on Instagram, details after the jump!
