before
Ah, how we love Victoria. She's always surprising us with her spontaneous changes to her home. Give her a little free time and she grabs a paintbrush. Jump below to see her newly revamped kitchen...

We liked the green paint, but we love the white.

The white is much better. The green reminds me of the movie "Sybil".

Much better. The green was sort of like a hospital.

It looks so much better now! It seems bigger and brighter...and cleaner (green in a kitchen? C'mon, that just asks to be called mold).

It looks much much cleaner, but I could be the odd one out when I say, the colour added some character to it. Maybe the colour could of been a fresher coat, or maybe a more neutral colour. Maybe like a blueish grey or a softer green.

if she has trouble opening the fridge door, she could flip it from a right to a lefty.

I admire Victroria for her energy and creativity. I would have been too lazy to paint my kitchen for sure!
I really envy people with that boundless energy while working full time. I only work 4 days a week and feel so tiered often, that I can't find power to start redecoration projects at my place, althought I would really love to. My partner is working full time and most of our free time we spend sleeping or relaxing with the cats.

ohhh, i like the green better. i would never ever have a white kitchen. fingerprints everywhere! it does look more open but i think the green lended to the coziness of the kitchen.

I'm a huge fan of bold paint colors in homes (my bedroom is peacock blue): but two places should pretty much always be white: the bathroom and the kitchen.
