I like what Amanda Louise Interiors did for this kitchen:

Was first drawn in by the mint green.  It's very similar to what I have in my kitchen, Benjamin Moore's historic "Van Alen" green.

The little spike of yellow in the lamp, and in art print and the flowers, is charming.

I love the look of that little pantry or whatever, with dark wood, that we get a peek of--

My only qualm was the perhaps too-sharp contrast of the black pendant lights and the counter chairs. 

Black used this way, if you're not careful, can come off as trendy, rather than classic  But then, I zeroed in on this old black grate in the fireplace wall-- and the other black elements do make more sense and chime in with the grate.  Still, I personally might have used a softer, distressed or more charcoal-y black... 

Would you have used those black accents, softened them, or used something entirely different?

The overall feeling of this kitchen is so warm and welcoming-- could spend a lot of time there!

I think this is a beautiful kitchen too.  I really do like that shade of green.  The brick wall fireplace is an especially nice touch.  I don't mind the contrasting black.  The grace, stove, fixtures and painting all tie it together for me.

Thanks for posting another interesting space.😃❤️

@Oznell,

I feel the same as you about the black lamps and counter stools.

I would have used something different, a lighter color even white and something more comfortable too!

I had a similar shade in my last place just a little more teal. Very pretty and cheerful.

Thanks as always for the pictures!

I think the black provides a necessary contrast to all of the mint color.  Otherwise it would be just too sweet and cloying.

Love the big window and paint color. I'd have used a lighter wood tone, or even white for the chairs.

I don't hate it , but I would prefer a sage green , JMO.

So much beautiful light streaming in! Love the lighting in front of the window and yes, the yellow in the lamp brings out the colors of the art work. 

The finishing touches are pretty and just right.

I love the color scheme @Oznell 

I might have gone more more toward gray but I still like the black.

The only thing I don't care for is the brick, I would have painted it.

@Oznell I liked it all EXCEPT the black lighting fixtures  and chairs. The black grate is super. I don't ever like black in home decor.

@Oznell  Having the pendants  black makes them seem too large for the space.  The sink faucet is gold.......perhaps they could have been painted gold.  Also, I would paint the brick white.

I don't care for the picture on the fireplace, but then that is always a personal choice for artwork and what the homeowner enjoys looking at.  

Since the kitchen is short on counter space, I would do away with the lamp.  The pantry looks like they are using the top portion of an old desk, perhaps a roll top.  I never care for the use of curtains in place of doors.

All in all, it looks like a happy place.
