Uba Tuba Girl Chooses Backsplash - Love it, now needs paint color
Comments (9)Wow! That looks great! You did good as they say down here in the Deep South. Your cabinets are beautiful and the granite and backsplash look great with them. My house is similar in that it is very open. A mixed blessing when it comes to paint. I had wallpaper up in the kitchen when we first moved in and thought it looked weird to have a wallpapered room hanging off the rest of the space. I repainted it several colors trying for the perfect one that would go with cabinets and the rest of the house. You can see everything in my house when you come in the front door, not sure if yours is that way. Eventually I went with a color that is very similar to the colors in the open areas of the house. After all my experimentation it looked the best. I have SW Plantation beige (an old Duron color) in the open spaces and then BM Danville Tan in the kitchen. Danville Tan is a good color to go with what you have but I am afraid that it is similar to your backsplash tile. Good luck!...See MoreCould you help me choose a color for my dining room?
Comments (4)pictures would help, there are lots of posts on how to do it. Just search on google, gardenweb, how to upload pictures and I'm sure you will find something We just painted our dr blue and I didn't like... not to say you won't but it just felt cold to me, that said, I have seen tons of pretty blue dining rooms:) we are having to repaint ours;( Anyhow, you can look in the blue gallery for paint ideas and or google blue dining rooms.

Comments (17)"Gray is not a happy color at all." It is for me! It's so subjective. And actually, beige and off-white are the colours of institutionalized care. Hospitals, schools, old folks homes, courthouses: all beige, and all known for being decidedly un-homelike. I've never been to jail but I've seen plenty of photos of the interiors of jails and they come in all colours, particularly beige....See Morehelp!!!

Comments (25)Sounds like a fireplace re-do might be a longer-term fix. In the meantime, I'd paint the mantle a dark brown, a similar colour to your end tables. It's not trim and shouldn't be white. It pops out too much in the white colour. Another idea that doesn't involve any ripping-out is to go right over the existing mantle using a mantle slipcover in wood. Here's one of many how-to's on the internet. If you stained your brick as well, you could have a whole new look. https://www.fwmadebycarli.com/2011/01/making-of-slip-covered-mantel.html...See MoreJanie
