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...

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.
