Looking for light grey kitchen ideas? This is the moodboard for our light and airy grey kitchen!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know we are in the midst of a VERY unexpected kitchen and living room remodel.  We returned from our trip to Yosemite and Bass Lake over Spring Break to…..some pretty serious water damage in our kitchen and downstairs entry.  So, here we are.  With torn up floors, a few missing walls, and no kitchen at all.

The good news? Now we're getting close to the FUN part.  The NEW kitchen.  This is the first remodel we've done since moving to San Diego, and I'm really excited to flush out all our ideas into a firm plan.  Putting everything together into a mood board helped a TON, and helped me to see which design elements looked best together.

Light Grey Kitchen Ideas

Our original kitchen was DARK.  Dark brown cabinets, dark wooden floors, and……river rock borders that I'm pretty happy to say goodbye to.  The plan? Light and upbeat looking.  We'll have light wood floors, and very light grey elements in the kitchen area. The cabinets will be a very light grey (shaker cabinets) and we are debating if our island should also be light grey or if we should do a pretty slate blue for a pop of color.

Shop All Items:

  1. Matte Black Door Pulls: I THINK we've narrowed our hardware decision down to matte black.  We debated a gold brushed finish, but ultimately I think the matte black will be timeless.  I'm really excited to start working with Tina at Battle Creek Hardware, she'll be helping us decide on the final hardware…..and I LOVE their beautiful collection.
  2. Rattan Pendant Lights: Remember these lights from when I visited the Serena and Lily design center here in San Diego? Yes, I'm still in love with them.  My goal? To hang one in our dining area, one in our tv area and then one in our kitchen.  Since it's a fairly open space, it will be nice to have the continuity.
  3. Rattan Bar Stools: I'd love to upgrade our current bar stools to this set that will be more of a fit with our new light grey kitchen ideas and elements.  These? Look PERFECT and I love the touches of grey to go with our whole vibe!
  4. Farmhouse Sink with Matte Black Faucet: We decided that we need a new sink to go with our new look (our current one is stainless steel).  I love love love this farmhouse sink and we are planning to get a matte black faucet to match all our hardware!
  5. Marbled Tile Backsplash: This was one of our biggest debates.  Marbled backsplash and countertops? Or solid white? To be honest, I'm still not SURE.  I feel like we could go either way, and I'd LOVE your input!
  6. Marbled Countertops: We will be replacing our countertops and the butcher block on our island (which will either be slate blue or the same grey as our cabinets).  This? Still undecided about the color as well (solid white or marbled).

I'm so excited to finally see our light grey kitchen ideas come together (and to HAVE a kitchen again)!

    I love, love, love it all! I am currently obsessed with matte black hardware and fixtures. My vote is for the blue island, marbled countertop and white backsplash. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀
But the real question is…..which Bluey episode i But the real question is…..which Bluey episode is your favorite?!?We are off to play keepie uppie and pass the parcel at Oogie Boogie Bash. 🤣#bluey #oogieboogiebash
🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
