If you could do it again..would you put wood panels on fridge?
Comments (18)Are you putting the two units right together? I think 6 feet of stainless might be a bit much if unbroken, but it depends on the room. And the alcove you are describing might house them nicely and give enough warmth to balance the cool SS. I have 4 feet of stainless and it doesn't bother me. That is surrounded by my blue cabinets, and the two cooler colors are an accent wall - the backdrop for the white and cherry in my kitchen. So I'd say placement makes a difference too. Have you looked at color renderings? Look also at the views as you enter the room from different angles or sit in adjoining rooms. And with 2 units, you can always look at splitting them up. Or what about putting a painted finish on the fridge and freezer with a top treatment to make them look like a huge armoire?...See MoreWedgewood Gray pic I see green , do you? Color help needed??
Comments (25)Well, I thought I was in love, then I decided I wanted about 25% of this color and hubby cringed at the thought of any of my board colors. ME TOO!! Olive Branch matches fabric, but looks awful too, very dark and muddy. I learned alot about painting colors in an area without natural light, I think I'll just brighten up my Revere Pewter, with a soft creme color, thank you for your help....See MoreCan I do gray/green cabinets with aqua/orange accents?

Comments (60)For those who asked, my granite was called "New Golden Beach". After choosing it I googled the name hoping to see images of it used on finished countertops. What I kept getting were pictures of "Golden Beach" which is far more golden and tan than mine. Mine's a cream base with taupe striations and flecks of black. It is much cooler in tone than Golden Beach which to me has a yellowy cast. When I went looking for granite at the huge stone yard outside of Boston that my KD recommended, I was surprised to find very few slabs in white & cream that had muted patterning. They told me that those like mine flew out the door as soon as they got them in. They said it was because most who wanted that look were going with marble or quartzite, of which they had plenty. They tried to persuade me to consider one of those but I said I didn't know anyone personally who'd had a great track record using it the way I knew it would be used in my kitchen. The rep said that was the reason the light granite stones were taken so quickly. Customers like me who wanted the light stone but felt more secure with granite chose them over marble and quartz/quartzite. I selected my stone 2 years ago. Since then I have seen a number of people here install quartzite and/or quartz countertops and give positive reviews about their performance with regard to being stain and heat resistant. I still think granite was the best look for me in this kitchen, and it sure has stood up to all manner of things like lemon juice, red wine, ketchup, blueberry jam, etc, that might have been bad news with other more porous stones and choices. That said, I think there's a lot to choose from other than granite & laminate....See MoreRelated Professionals
