Ah … The Mushroom.
Not only is it a yummy little treat when sautéed with a little olive oil, onion, and green pepper; it’s also a super yummy color on kitchen cabinets.
I’ve become COMPLETELY obsessed with mushroom-colored kitchen cabinets this past year and my love affair ain’t a-stoppin’ anytime soon …
OUR CURRENT KITCHEN
Now don’t get me wrong – I’m still madly in love with our current kitchen’s deep, blackish/bluish cabinets. They’re absolutely gorgeous and dramatically contrast against the crisp white shiplap backsplash.
But with the beauty of dark cabinets comes a HUGE downfall – THEY ARE FREAKING DUST MAGNETS. No matter how often you wipe them down, the dust “magically” seems to appear out of nowhere again.
Our last 2 kitchens had white cabinets and those had their own huge downfall: EVERY tiny speck of dirt or food stain easily showed up on them.
So I figure for any future kitchen we might have, mushroom-colored cabinets might be the perfect solution for timeless design AND for preventing me from losing my damn mind in keeping them clean.
Come check out the kitchens I’ve been Pinning and you’ll instantly see why I’m totally smitten!

Thank you for reading this post and for your comment.
While I agree with you in theory, many designers don’t disclose the paint colors they used so to keep their clients’ projects special to just those clients (at least in their minds). So it can be difficult to find out which actual paint brands and colors they used in their projects.
Also, the actual paint colors used in projects rarely photograph exactly the way they look in real life. So it can be misleading to list the paint color when in actuality, it won’t look the same in real life in someone’s home since everyone’s home is different with regard to how much natural lighting it gets.
With all that said, I will do my best going forward to list any paint colors used in other designers’ projects if they make that information readily available.
Thank you again for taking the time to read my post and for your thoughts – I really appreciate that!
