Green Kitchens

Green is just a timeless color for a kitchen. Granted the shades of green change dramatically and usually per decade but it will always be the clean feel of washed lettuce, zucchini from the garden and fresh herbs. The one thing I try to tell my clients is not to let people talk you out of something you really love. Remodeling your kitchen is very expensive. You get to do it once, maybe twice in your lifetime if you’re lucky. This client was retired, living alone and it will probably be the last time she’ll get to do this very fun and exciting and extremely gratifying project. So many people tried to talk her out of green. They kept saying “go white and accessorize with the countertop”. I say follow your heart. She loved this color of cabinetry and loved her countertop even more. She is still toiling over the backsplash but is very happy with her decisions. And that is all I am trying to do as a designer.
