Need help picking a wall color and backsplash for my kitchen
Comments (2)I haven't looked at this thread in quite awhile, but I recall that it contains many photos and ideas with Fantasy Brown kitchen ideas. If you search Houzz kitchen photos using a Fantasy Brown search term, there's tons of examples there, too. HTH.

Comments (18)Thanks for the comments! I have not forgotten about this thread but some renovations have started so everything is chaos at the moment and it took me a while to get some measurements as requested. going to repost the pics from above and then reference as I provide measurements.. So again, these photos were essentially taken from the same spot..one facing the kitchen and one facing the living room. So in the bottom photo, I am basically standing in front of the first door panel (sliding door to my left). That red sox hanging lamp is going away and will not be replaced with any hanging light...the end of the island will be used in place of the small pub table and the island extends basically as far into the room as the start of the slider. The back of the couch (to the camera with a sofa table behind it) are lined up with the other side of the sliding doors (77" away) So working from that point...the sliders are 77" wide, then there is 50.5" of wall space (this is what you see at the left edge of the bottom photo). The windows are 73.5" wide, then 31" of wall into the corner. Working across the fireplace wall there is 44" of space (wall and window) to the left of the fireplaces and 48" to the right. The fireplace surround is 63" high by 79.5" wide. Then coming back up the other wall there is 31" of wall space from the corner to the french doors (which open to the play room or formal living room...depending on the day). Those french doors are 80" wide and then there is 112" of space including that little bit of white wall that you see, then a door to the basement, then a 24" closet door. After the two doors (which are right next to each other) you have a hallway opening and the wall oven cabinet seen on the left side of the top photo is on the far side of that hallway. whew! Even though I thought the meadow color was too light (and pastelly) for the cabinets, I could see where a lighter tone like you suggested for the trim in the room (presumably with a similar antique white color for the walls) might work. I agree that the chair rail is probably a no-go. Currently the floor of the kitchen is some vinyl tile junk....these floors run all the way across in front of the sliding doors and up to the back of the couch (you can sort of see the edge of the dark floors at the bottom right of the photo above) With the remodel we will extend the hardwoods through the kitchen. With the two spaces more connected by the continuous flooring, and no longer having a hanging light in the middle of that space in front of the sliding doors, and not needing a little table there, we were thinking our living space could maybe extend back a little bit further into the space in front of the dead panel (sliding door half that doesnt slide).... Keep the input coming!...See MoreHelp with trim paint color for kitchen needed!
Comments (2)Hard to say without seeing the samples. Will the cabinets touch the trim? If so it might be best to use the same color. If not, it comes down to personal preference. A lot of people struggle with mixing whites, so often the easiest thing to do is use the same white for everything....See MoreNeed help picking a wall color for my living room/kitchen
Comments (6)Sorry so many comments, internet slow and won't take a lot of pics at once. Walls Bittersweet stem, accent wall as above. I'd paint the door the wall color since you don't have trim around it. It looks unfinished in these pics. not sure these are the right colors but they give you the idea....See MoreUser
