The pro designers at Sherwin-Williams describe it: “Brimming with thoughtful details, this look seamlessly blends easy comfort with a sophisticated flair to create a cozy countryside atmosphere. A backdrop of Smoky Azurite’s relaxed vibrance infuses the room with freshness, lending a subtle contemporary vibe to the otherwise quiet and simple space. Adding rich contrast and a rustic note, dark brown wood tones make a beautiful pairing with the natural shades of this palette.”

“The humble hues of the Modern Brit palette instantly impart the warm and familiar charm of home to any space. Smoky Azurite’s welcoming shade casts its soft, soothing energy even in a supporting role, as Earthy Ochre balances the carefree, airiness of the space with its down to earth, rooted hue. A collection of shades as uncomplicated and approachable as these brings timeless, comfortable style easily within reach,” according to Sherwin-Williams.

It’s Not Easy Being Green

You may start with the great idea to change things up in your kitchen by painting the cabinets green. One of the first challenges will be deciding on a green. For example, the two greens featured above create very different looks. Left: Coastal Plain SW 6192, Right: Ripe Olive SW 6209

Next, you have the question of cabinet hardware including pulls and hinges and how they can be removed and properly labeled to return to their original position.

Then there is the matter of preparing your cabinet surfaces. Degrease, de-gloss and determine what you are going to do with the interiors.

Then there is the matter of protecting the other surfaces in the kitchen – countertops, walls, appliances, etc.
