Preview | Kitchen Cabinets

I wanted to share with you some progress pictures of the kitchen cabinets during the building process! We worked with Waukee Cabinet Works for our kitchen cabinets. I knew I wanted the kitchen perimeter cabinets to be a soft blue and the kitchen islands to be whitewashed light wood.

I had to pick out a Sherwin Williams paint color for the blue color, and I narrowed it down to these four below. I took these samples to the new house closer to sunset, and I didn’t know if my eyes were messing with me (I have bad eyes). It looked like the colors had a magenta hue to them. Out of all of these, Windy Blue was my top pick.

I wanted to try other paint colors that didn’t have a magenta hue to them, so I got the paint deck out again and got three more colors to try out.

Here’s an image of Johannah painting the three paint samples. The two on the right were the colors we kept from the original four. We kept Windy Blue and Aleutian and not the other two because Icy and Upward were way too light.

Any guesses which one I went with for our kitchen cabinets?

If you picked SW Dockside Blue you were right! Before we actually ordered our cabinets, we had Waukee Cabinet Works give us a door sample with Dockside Blue, and I fell in love! If you’re doing a custom cabinet color instead of the cabinet company’s stock colors, I definitely recommend getting an actual door sample with that custom color.

In case you were wondering why I picked Dockside Blue…
1) I thought it was the perfect soft blue color.
2) Way before I did these Sherwin Williams paint samples, I actually already picked out the perfect blue Benjamin Moore color for my kitchen cabinets, but we found out that we would save more money on the cabinets if we picked a Sherwin Williams color. That original blue color I selected for the kitchen cabinets was BM Blue Heather, so when I had all those samples (above picture), the SW Dockside Blue matched my BM Blue Heather sample the best. At least now I know my favorite Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams blue color!

Now for the kitchen island! I knew I wanted the kitchen islands to be whitewashed, and Waukee Cabinet Works gave me three samples. I knew for sure I didn’t want the middle one.

It was hard to pick between the two (left one and right one), but I went with the one on the right. Isn’t it so pretty?! If you want more details on the whitewash stain, please contact Waukee Cabinet Works.

It was an exciting day when the kitchen cabinets arrived! When you start seeing cabinets, the house really starts coming alive!

Hope you enjoyed this blog post!

The keyboards get skinnier and skinnier…I miss those old school typewriter keyboards! If you grew up in the 90’s you know what I’m talking about. Computer class was so fun 😂. They don’t even teach kids how to properly type anymore 🫠

Comment LINKS below, and I’ll message you the link to shop! Johannah had her first homecoming last weekend, and they took pictures at our house before they went out for dinner. I had cobwebs all over the front porch, and it was time to get that cleaned up before everyone arrived. I used my new @HARTToolsUSA 40V Blower from @Walmart and a cobweb brush to blow away debris. This was an easy cleanup! I’m already thinking about fall porch decorating, so getting this area cleaned up was perfect timing. #Walmartpartner #FallRefresh

Christian sent me this 5 ingredient recipe that he found on TikTok and said, “You should make that.” It looked so easy that I had to try it for myself! I’m not even kidding this was too easy and so SO good! We seriously demolished it the first time I made it, and now it’s one of our go-to meals. I got all the ingredients from @Walmart and had it delivered straight to my doorstep.  Love how I don’t have to leave my house to get groceries/necessities! #WalmartPartner #WalmartGrocery #WelcomeToYourWalmart

The kids and I made the viral cheeseburger coaster set, and how cute is this?! I’m so proud of us! 😂 Make these with your kids! I bet they’ll love it! We used Crayola air dry clay (no oven or kiln needed), acrylic paint, and mod podge super hi shine spray.
