pops of color in the kitchen

if i had to sum up the anticipated look of our new home 
{known as willow around here}
i would say it’s a combo of the two photos below
i am obsessed {especially in the kitchen} with tones of white and gray 
natural, organic, and crisp appearances 
and although i love the texture and look of wood throughout a home
{on a headboard, stools, a cabinet, etc.}
personally, i usually do not prefer wood cabinets- but instead,
love the crisp and clean look that white gives 
…with fun pops of color throughout…

 

here are some ‘pops of color’ 
inspiration for kitchens:
 
i was really hoping to get one of these amazing colored/vintage fridges
but mr. monaco convinced me to be ‘practical’
and he was right.
 {i love, love our new stainless steel lg refrigerator}
however, he said we could put one of these adorable ones in the garage someday…
way too cute for a garage. way too cute. 
in my dream world, i would have picked a mint green or a canary yellow one
 
 adore these so much from modcloth– so fun.
a great easter basket gift?!
  
my sister and her husband gave us two of these amazing chairs for christmas- absolutely love. 
i have purchased spoons similar to this from target
however, these are an easy diy project
pick your paint and paint a color scheme that works for your kitchen

do you prefer pops of color in your kitchen?
…if so, how to you implement this… 
what are your favorite accent pieces?

    I love color and tend to gravitate away from dark, muddy colors in the home. After all, I did paint my kitchen pink! It's grounded with dark countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gray floor, and white cabinets. Our house doesn't get a ton of natural light so I try to go towards light and bright colors to make everything happy.

    I'm definitely a fan of brightness in the home! 🙂
