New painted kitchen walls

COLORFUL WALLS

Want some changes at home? Painting is a fast and fun way to give your walls or furniture a new look.

Our kitchen is white, and we used to have white walls. We were looking for a calm and colorful paint for the walls. After trying a blue-grey color, we were not quite happy, and landed on this beautiful peach color.

The color is supermatte, named “Blushing Peach”, from Jotun Lady. We painted 2 coats, and used a 3 liter can. Painted the floor list as well, but kept the top list  in white, as the ceiling is also white.

On the kitchen-side we kept it simple with clean walls.  We love to decorate with a lot of green plants.

DININGAREA- DIY TABLE.

All our chairs are old, from thriftshopping and secondhand.

The dark teak works well with the peach wallcolor.

On the opposite wall we have posters and family photos, and a DIY cabinet we made ourselves, painted in blue.

Lamp over kitchen table is from a dumpster outside a building area, another “upcycled” interior piece. From trash to treasure- we love it!

DIY CABINET

This cabinet is made from 2 old windows. Feet are from an old kitchen table. MDF board used in the back,

wooden boards on the sides and as shelves inside.  The blue paint is a mix form different blues we had in the house.

We love plants and cactuses!

So many different shapes and personalities! Perfect way to add some color to your home

We also bought a light green color,also from Jotun Lady,  that works well with the peach wallcolor.

The plan is to paint some of the diningchairs.
