No worries, here are some other images of BM Stone House.
Maybe they can help. Oh and check out the links too.

Great pictures, thanks for posting!

Do you have any of BM Indian River by chance? I found some good ones of a bedroom on the net, but would like to see more. Thanks

Okay, Here goes. Please know that some of pictures did not link up. This happens sometimes. No worries here are some of them for now... And I went back to your old thread posted the images. Also linking back to this because otherwise people will think you are just talking to me. ; ) ~boxer Here is your original quote.... " "......I ordered pendants from AmericanHomeplus.com....I just found out they have been discontinued! We will be ready for lights in 2-3 weeks. Now I can't decide! My kitchen is open to the family and breakfast rooms. One will be over my 33" stainless apron front sink and the other will be over the rest of the peninsula and bar top to the left.(the sink sits in an angled cab.) Any ways, I'll post a link to my countertops(sandstone) and paste web address to the possible lights. ...I may end up changing my light over breakfast table to something that will match the pendants or just go with something totally different. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP! .........size of the counter where one is centered. It is 4' wide with standard depth cabs and then 18" bartop(not raised-counter hieght) ."

This is Menard's "choice and best" or something like that grade in solid red oak, $1.71 / square foot on sale in 2009, unfinished pieces. We threw out almost a quarter of the stuff because it had knots or wild grain or some kid of burn from the plane or an irregular lip. A very kind friend donated 3 days labor and expertise and I supervised by sorting boards and handing the guys the next hand-chosen piece and took their guff for every one of them. We rented a nailer for 3 days. We put no stain on it but used 5 coats of Ace Hardware waterbase urethane, each coat followed by a session with a rented sander/buffer and a mound of disposables for it. Not sure how much the DIY cost ended up to be. Mat in photo is Gel Pro "Wicker" in Oyster Grey. Cabs are unstained red oak with lacquer finish. Roughly 9 months later, we are pleased with the floor. No problems so far. It does show dirt but we're hoping that once our landscaping is finished the dirt clumps will not be so common. Chocolate lab hair shows but not as bad as black lab hair.

Fabric/Color/Coordinating - Suggestions Please? (Long Post w/Pics

"I am assuming you are painting the wood green to match the other pieces in the room (if I am remembering correctly)." Les, How sweet of you to remember! Then again, when you post your responses you always make the poster feel as if you are their own private decorator. You don't know how much I appreciate your response, your opinions to my little M.Bdrm dilemma here --Thank you!!! When you say a wide band all the way around, do you mean top and bottom of the panel, also? I will need about 2 inches to have the panels meet (when closed) with a little gather of the rings/fabric at the rod. Would 3 inches of band on each side of the panel be enough, do you think? Or should I go a bit more? But as per your suggestion, solid banding it is--Thank you! Light terracotta for the headboard -- it doesn't matter if the color of the fabric on the headboard is not the color of the coverlet? As long as the color is in the same family, right? What is the general guideline about a tailored bed skirt, same color family but different shade OK? I'm having a heck of a time when it comes to the colors Terracotta/Rust. Everyone has a different hue/shade of the color. Haven't been able to find any two that even come close so far but I'll keep looking for that special pillow I want to make. On the same thought, if I go with the Blue Banding on the panels, what if I have the same trouble finding the exact blue as in the window panel fabric? The blue is not blue-blue but has what seems like a bit of green. Not enough to make it aqua but enough. This is going to be a tuffy. *smile* As for the shams, oh how I would love to make matching shams (I'd have to read up on Welting 101 but I'd do it!) but I don't think I'll have enough fabric----eeeek! Unless I do the panels with a different color at the top and the print 3/4 the rest of the way. But that would bring me back to trying to figure out more color coordinating combos. Why oh why couldn't I have been born with even a tad of decorating gene *grrrrr* As for the dark bark green bed -- I love how it's turning out as long as the room's lights are on or at dusk. With natural light coming in the window each post, each side of each post of the bed takes on a different color---- Another Eeeeek! I'm thinking about adding an antiquing on top of the dark green just to unify the dark bark green color all around. The antiquing would look ok in the turns of the posts, no? Don't mind the temp bedding or stuff on night stands. All temp until I figure out what I'm doing. Colors of Footboard Post and Wall just to left of post are the true colors. So I ask daughters this morning what they thought of the direction I was taking in the bedroom and one said "Mom, looks like you're going for a Bold Mediterranean Mother Earth thing". The other daughter nodded wildly in agreement. *sigh* I haven't seen that style listed in any decor book.

Please post pics of your wood cabinets w/ diff color wood island
Q
Comments (18)
Thanks again to everyone for responding. We had not considered a white island, but that is something to thinks about. Wow, kalapointer, thanks for posting the pics of your cabinetry. The colors are very close to what we were thinking of. We're beginning to back off the dark cherry, though, because of worries about its darkening further -- with only one window (and a large skylight), our kitchen might not be as bright as yours. We're not sure. Cabinet buy says cherry darkens, but maple yellows ... editionk, you're right, kpasso's kitchen looks very similar to ours, it's about the same size, and it's laid out almost exactly the same with a similar size island! It's very helpful to see those pics. And in answer to your questions: (1) Do you have a pantry / larger food storage somewhere that I don't see in your layouts? Yep -- in the second picture you can see a door beyond the fridge. That's the door to the utility/laundry room. The pantry is to your left as you go through the door :-) (2) Have you considered changing the door/drawer on the left of the stove to a bank of drawers? Ditto on the one on the left of the sink. Hadn't thought about that. I think the only three-drawer stacks now are next to the dishwasher (for utensils) and across from the sink on the island. (3) You mentioned dark areas/shadowy areas in your house. A dark red cherry finish in a kitchen with just one window might feel too dark. A few glass uppers can lighten the look a lot along with the right paint and backsplash. What are you thinking so far for those elements? We are planning glass uppers on all the upper cabinets around the sink (two to the right, one to the left) and there are 1-foot cabinets on the wall across from the sink that don't show up in these renderings but that also have glass uppers. We were going to do glass uppers around the range as well, but decided that was too much. (4) Will you have a microwave? I think I see a TV in the layout, but no micro (unless it's in the island). Yes. The microwave will sit on the counter in the corner under the TV. My husband doesn't think it's safe to lift possibly heavy hot dishes from a raised area, and I see his point. (5) I expected your door style would be Craftsman considering the renderings and your description, but the Merillat door style is quite traditional. The cherry Paprika color is nice, is that what you're considering? I think that is the name of the color. It does seem to be pretty dark when you look on their website. I am not sure what a Craftsman door style is, but the cabinet design guy has mentioned Shaker style a few times. It's a bit too plain for our tastes, though. We are also considering Kraftmaid cabinets. The frameless drawers are appealing because they have several inches more width for the same cabinet size. But the design we like would be about 35% more (!) than the Merillat Classic because not only is Kraftmaid more to start with, the design is much fancier, including curved wood on the face of the cabinet door. I can't remember the style name and it doesn't look easy to find on the Kraftmaid website. I wonder if those fancy doors would overwhelm our smallish kitchen anyway.

I hope it is okay to give, my opinion...(forgive me if not)
lighting plays a huge role in the color of Indian River.
It can be gray, taupe, beige or all three. The Decor link
you have shows this color with lots of white to reflect a
cool view. But keep in mind this is one of those colors that
seems to be a Chameleon. Try a large section before making
a commitment.

(this pic claims to be Indian River BM. It could be as I
have seen this color turn beige with lighting and brown trim)

Now this looks more like Indian River BM. Well at least it
seems to pick up the gray around it and loves white. nice.

Your opinion is very much welcomed and appreciated.

I'm pretty shocked both of those are Indian River! The Stone House I asked about is for my kitchen. I had them paint it in an off-white color that turned out washed out. I think I needed to make that mistake to stop being gun-shy with colors (house now is mostly white). I all about gave up on beiges/tans as the samples I was painting were turning red/pink or green depending on light. The Stone House I found on this forum or another googling for people asking the same question-- what color to use with maple toffee cabinets and ubatuba / verde granite. Most people pulled from the green in the granite, but im not a fan of green paint. One person went with the Stone House and I like it. It pulls from the beigey/butterscotch color in the granite and the grain in the cabinet wood. I think it's a winner

As you can see instead of painting all over the walls now i'm using flat white poster boards that im rolling on two coats of the color im sampling. Just masking tape them wherever or even cut them up like I did in the kitchen.

In the living room pictures the color over the fireplace is Indian River, the one next to it is Baja Dunes and the one next to the kitchen pass-thru is Plymouth Rock. Unfortunately none of my pictures are great color representations due to lighting and camera, but the Indian River looks very different than the pics you posted. Now im concerned it'll look much different after the whole room is painted. I picked out lots of materials for two bathrooms and a kitchen remodel but the hardest and most frustrating part is paint color. The way they can drastically change into unwanted tones due to so many factors drives me nuts.

Hi Chinaski,

First off your house is beautiful and elegant. I can see
why you are not turned on by greens in the granite. Green
is not you, you should definitley check out Mairin's
kitchen. You would love the mix of browns and greys.
Not sure if she is in FKB blog but do a search.

I am not a color consultant so please if you love Indian
River go for it. I honestly believe that only Farrow
and Ball paints make colors that go great with many spaces.
Keep in FB only makes a handful of colors where as BM
makes milllions. Finding the right color, in the right
light in the right space is a challenge. I feel for you.
Be brave!!!

Mairin's used Indian River in her bedroom. Maybe she can
send you some images. If you do a search for Mairin on GW
You will find her page and then her e-mail. I am sure
she would be thrilled to help you. She has a fantastic
kitchen too.

Hi there Chinaski and Boxer! thanks for the shout-out Boxer and for emailing me directly Chinaski. I probably would have missed this thread!

Yes, that is an awful, dusty picture of my master bedroom! It is a great color. I will take an updated picture tomorrow to share. In my kitchen I used BM Revere Pewter. I actually have it throughout a large part of the first floor since the kitchen opens to family room. I like how it can look more gray at times and tan in other light. I think it might look really nice with your fireplace, but only you can be the judge IRL! paint is so hard.

In our previous home we had ubatuba granite with honey maple cabs and I used a pumpkin color. I can't remember the exact name, but it was a muted, rich, copper like pumpkin (not glaringly orange!).

I just did a quick check of my pictures, but honestly none of them show the colors very well. I promise to take some tomorrow and post.

Mairin, is picture 395 of the Indian River? Does it change a lot with different lighting/times of day?

Beautiful house. The whole gallery showing the progression from the foundation to completion is fantastic.

oh good, you found the album. yep, that's indian river and a better shot of the true color. I don't see it as a color that changes a lot, but it might simply be the room I have it in. I probably don't spend very much time in that room with the shades up (faces west). I've tried a couple of different duvet covers in there with varying colors and it seems as though it's a great base color that goes with everything (soft grayish blue, deep chocolate browns, copper, and my latest is a white with browns and silver!).
