Kitchen Dreams

A friend mentioned I should check out The Handmade Home. Let me just say I fell in LOVE with her kitchen. Absolutely awesome! White cabinets, farmhouse sink, chalkboard fridge, screen door pantry, school house pendants, yellow and aqua accents...LOVE it!!! The best part, they did it all on their own. (The before also looks similar to our current kitchen, except that we have white appliances, so we could totally pull this off.)

So, I showed the pictures to Aaron and he actually liked it! Okay, you have to understand that it is hard for us to agree on anything when it comes to design and decorating. We actually even talked about it once with a counselor in our marriage enrichment program (Shout out to VOW!) Anywhoo...when I explained that they basically just painted the cabinets, added beadboard, and a farmhouse sink (with a few other small changes) he seemed impressed, like a "hmm-let-me-think-about-it-since-it's-not-as-impossible-as-I-thought" kind of impressed. (We repainted the cupboards in our last house, so we know the work it would mean.) Do you think I can convince him we need white cupboards?
