Maureen, your question made me realize I have no idea for my own kitchen. I actually looked up every single color mentioned in your thread-- it was really helpful. I'll have to check out the old house forum as well. I think the accessories, hardware, & paint will be critical since dark shaker-style cabinets can often look very modern. Kelleg, Downstairs is all a cream color (almost white, really). Upstairs, our bedroom is yellow (previous owners had painted it that color and it actually worked really well w/ our art, furniture, etc). One kid's room is BM Northern Sky (almost a wedgewood blue color) and the other children's room is lime green (previous owners' choice, but we really like it). Our art is really colorful, so we were thinking of leaving the walls white in the kitchen and then hanging on of our larger paintings in the eating area....

Thanks, I knew I could count on someone here. I am an old diehard IE user that keeps up to date with it running windows 7 at the moment. I also have firefox but prefer IE. Knock on wood I do not have the problems some here seem to have with ads, popups, and other annoying things. PS bookmarked that site to get rid of the pest!!

in the search window above next to the houzz logo. just type in the key words you want and it will give you several choices

What is funny is I misread the clue the same way. I am hamstrung myself by having been taught to read Look Say hence the misread so it was my last clue to solve. I like to do it top down in turn if I can. It is a sad day when I have to skip around. Oddly enough for me my reading disability can be helpful because this is sort of like chunky anagrams and I am very good at anagrams even though I cant spell for spit. I also don't remember the answer.
