I love the yellow! But I have been getting mixed feedback!!! In this picture the trim in still brown, but it has been painted white(Just finished this project yesterday!!) Any suggestions as to arrange things differently? The new flooring isnt in yet. Eventually it will have wood floors and not that ugly 50 year old gloomy stuff.


So what do you think?

I love that shade of yellow! Its perfect!
I think the red chicken really works with it. Maybe more red touches?
All & all your kitchen is really inviting.

I love it. Yellow is perfect for a kitchen.
My mother's kitchen was never any other color for almost 60 years.
She would change the curtains or something, but never the yellow.
How about a hanging pot rack?

I love it. My husband won't "let" me paint the kitchen (or any room for that matter) yellow because he said it reminds him of my mother! Long story - but to be fair - she hasn't been the nicest mother-in-law to him.

Your kitchen is very nice, but it didn't change his mind when I showed him! lol. He said "Yep, it's yellow" then he looked at me and said "Don't get any ideas." I had to laugh.

If it ain't red, leave it in the shed.

I had a guest this weekend, and she said it was very welcoming and homey! It was nice to hear that my hard work painting and such is all paying off. I'll try to upload the rest of the kitchen later on today. I still need to get valances to put up. I don't like the upper part of the window looking so bare. I like the idea of yellow check gingham curtains.

I like the yellow, it is warm and happy!

Oh for the simple life: family, quilts, corgi's, horses, homemade everything.

I had a yellow bedroom growing up and when I went to college, my mom painted it blue as a suprise. Let me tell you I was devastated. Seeing your yellow kitchen makes me smile, enjoy it!

I do like those yellow walls. Is there any chance you might paint the cart the microwave is on to match the other cabinets? I like the little black chair as it goes well with the stove and microwave. I like the colors white, black, and yellow together. I bet that wood floor will be beautiful.

Yellow is a happy color and generally makes people feel good. Little babies LOVE yellow anything! I thing the one thing I would do is get some sort of cabinet (refurbished from used furniture or antiquey store) so that I could put the microwave and toaster oven inside it out of site..Could be painted white with just a small tad of distressing.. And of course some holes in the back for the cords to come out. Depending on the size may even give you a little more storage room.. not too tall to overwhelm the area.
Love the idea of the Farm House Sink. I have a black sink and extremely hard water.. Almost impossible to get out all the water (salts) stains. I would get stainless for my kitchem, but a beautiful white enamel would look well with your color scheme.

WAY TO GO SISTER !!

I love it!!! Where we used to live, I painted the livingroom that bright yellow!!!! I was the only one that loved it, but it was very cheery and bright. No gloom and doom in there!!! Love the wall with the saying too!!!! Keep us posted as you go along. I love looking, I now live in a rented house and am not able to do all that anymore.

If your looking to your left in the picture I originally posted, this is the wall.
Soon To Be Mrs States Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 05:21:03 AM
@sissarge, Yes, that is only half of my kitchen. Its an old farmhouse and the other half was too big to fit into the picture. I don't really like my sink at all, (Its very 80's and cheap looking) Its on my list of things to replace. I would love to have a big farm kitchen basin sink! I will probably end up doing that as well! But I have to do one thing at a time, I'm not going to take out a loan to fix things up, so its one thing at a time, that I can pay cash for. I'll have to post updates as I so more things!

Looks great! A kitchen needs to be cheery and welcoming. So yours is a sunshiny sunflower now. :D

I love your yellow kitchen too! I painted one of the bathrooms a pale yellow and have never been sorry. Makes me feel "sunny".

I love the yellow. My kitchen is also yellow (HONEY MUSTARD) and my bath is yellow and my car is yellow ok i have a yellow problem. Love your kitchen.
Amie C. Posted - Feb 13 2012 : 5:35:31 PM
I love it. Someday, when we finally get around to redoing our kitchen, it will be a similar yellow.
Caroline Sunshine Posted - Feb 13 2012 : 5:09:02 PM
I like yellow in a kitchen, too. It is sunny and bright and uplifting. I am contemplating painting the kitchen in my old farmhouse a nice yellow. After seeing yours, I think I will!

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Every day on the farm is JOY to the soul!
