kristinamaria and teacats, you are on the same wavelength. I think I will do that... find the fabric first. And teacats, I absolutely LOVE THAT FABRIC. Seriously, I LOVE it!! I am going to go back to that site in a minute and see about a sample. Thanks for linking that. I luv my GW friends. :o) You all are so helpful. Each person has something to share that I had not thought of/had not realized. Thanks for sharing all of your advice. I'm going to find the fabric and see if I can get my green in the fabric, and then I think I'll go with whatever blue the "experts" have put in the fabric. I'm just not the best with paint colors. Thanks! ;o) mrsrose, I am headed out the door in a few minutes, but will post a few kitchen shots on here later today for you to see. Thanks for the compliments from you and lindybarts too. ;o)

Charley, I would paint the wall the Moccasin as others suggested. Pretty color BTW! I just pulled out the BM color deck to look at it. Why don't you paint the trim and fireplace the lighter shade on the card - mohair? Another option would be to choose a darker color from the card for the fireplace like baked cumin or gingersnaps. If you do this, then everything will definitely blend! Even if you do the fireplace darker, I would stick to a lighter moulding color but not stark white.

Couple of thoughts > Way too much information/questions - need to provide less information and ask more specific design questions; you'll get better feedback > you are planning a significant rennovation($$$) find a kitchen designer help you - they work for free if you buy enough cabinets > I agree with rhome410 points above > suggest moving frig to screen porch door (left of window sink) - having counter space next to the frig is extremely helpful (place to set things down going in our out of the frig (it's this way in your hand drawing) > move dishwashers to right & left side of large window sink ; leave the other sink for prep > drop the upper cabinets right & left of window; drop the corner upper cabinets - not worth the money & you loose stuff in the back; put cabinets only on the range hood wall; > two counter stools on the left end away from range > mount the wall ovens next to pantry;

I have the gray bodbyn cabs in my basement. We use SW Lazy Gray in the entire basement.
