Kitchen Surprise

My husband surprised me this weekend by painting the cupboards while I was away at a women's retreat. 

I'll try to get some better pictures later. And put together some before and afters. He painted the tile and upper cabinets white and it is so much crisper and cleaner looking.

 The kitchen lower walls and lower cabinets are all purple. We aren't set on the shade of purple. I think it should be a little darker and more plum. 

But it looks so much better!! I have more words to say about that and the retreat, but my kids are crying.
