Thank you! That really is beautiful. It feels so calm and soothing. Saybrook Sage was definitely on my short list. Painter was there this morning and we ended up going with a different combination of sage/greens. After seeing your photo, I hope I don't regret not going with Saybrook. Otherwise, I'm afraid the painter will be back yet again, or worse yet, I'll be breaking out the rollers to do it myself. Thanks for the link too. I can't wait to see what others have done.

Hi, I haven't been on GW in a while, but happened by today. I got great ideas from everyone here when planning my kitchen. I never considered where all of my cookbooks would go in my initial thinking, but taking ideas from different people, I came up with a plan. My cabinets were built by a local cabinetmaker, so I was able to design some unusual storage. I have a 24" deep glass fronted cabinet next to the frig. It's 36" wide. What the cabinetmaker did was build 3 approx 11" wide boxes out of wood and put them on file drawer-type runners. The three boxes are next to each other. When you look into the cabinet, you see the three side by side, each one full of books. I have two shelves with the boxes, for a total of 6 boxes, or 12 running feet of cookbook storage. I slide them in and out to reach the books in the back. The pretty ones are in the front and can be seen when the glass doors are closed. Even after all of the instructions given, I still can't figure out how to post pictures here, or I'd take some shots to show you. Everyone who has seen the new kitchen oohs and aahs over the fact that the books are there, that there are so many of them taking up so little space. good luck with your project!

Hi Susan, thanks for the lovely compliment! I had like an hour to pick my paint color(s) and went with BM Standish White...which is like a french vanilla. Hope this helps! thanks again, Lori

I'll have to think a little more and read more of the input above when it's not so late. However, I did want to say that when I saw your bath and read that you do NOT want to paint your GORGEOUS trim, I immediately was reminded of a picture I saw on Pinterest today. BEAUTIFUL GREEN BATH WITH MEDIUM DARK WOOD: Also, as your home appears to possibly be of the Craftsman/Arts and Crafts style, I also thought of this paint color chart I saw on there today, too. Although it does not give official paint names, it is a a good source for general directions to go when choosing colors if you want to stay with those type colors. For more information about those colors, there is a link provided below. Good luck... Here is a link that might be useful: CRAFTSMAN/ARTS and CRAFTS PERIOD INTERIOR DESIGN HOME DECOR
