The Kitchen Table

Going Crazy!!

9 years ago

My hubby has had a 1987 truck parked out by our old barn for many years. We have had numerous guys stop and ask to buy it. The darn thing hasn't rain in many years. Well, we were having trouble with our phone a week or so ago. Guess what, the phone guy wants to buy it. If it were up to me I would pay the guy to haul it off. He called here again yesterday while my hubby was gone. I told him to call back later. I told him I would pray my hubby would let him have it.. well, he called back and talked to the man of the house. He is actually letting him have it!! Yea!! We. Hubby couldn't fine the title. I found it. Then to search for the keys. We hunted every draw we could think of and no keys. Crazy hubby went out to check and see if there was anything he needed out of the truck. Guess what!! The darn keys were on the floorboard of the truck.. AmI ever a happy camper today. No more mowing around the dang ole truck!! And the new guy is thrilled!!

I can see were EG would not work here. A darker, warmer gray might but I would keep it simple myself. I think your cabinets are lovely. It’s very hard to tell how any color will look in a space viewing it on a monitor! Nearly impossible actually. This is just a suggestion. You could try a neutral, lighter color such as BM barely beige. It still has warmth but isn’t yellow. Here it is compared to your current color. See how it looks with your trim though, you may have to repaint that. You could do the trim in the same color in a higher sheen.

I think I can help you! Your tile is very similar to my mom’s house. I love her paint color it is very similar to kilim beige, but it is brighter and will work better in your space. This color is beautiful with a white crisp molding. The LRV is 64.01% which is ideal. The color is sw desert fawn. Kwall paint use to make it.

I've used Simply White and in my space it does not look yellow. At all. It looks white but not a harsh blue-based white. Why don't you make a sample board with it? I agree, you need a warm white with that gorgeous pine flooring. IDK about a "blue/gray" tile -- it depends on the tile, if its dark grey it will go well with the wood floor, but if it's blue....oh I would rethink that... FWIW, there was a section of some sort of blue tile in front of the patio door when I bought this house. Was is the operative word here. I hated it and had it removed and hardwood run in to match the rest. Have you thought about running pine into the kitchen? You can have the current floor sanded and refinished, it will look seamless when finished. Is this the color direction you want to take? It looks terrible and is long gone from my house: Go with a charcoal color if you want grey tile floors; it will bridge warm and cool.

Caflowerluver, Your bouquet is so colorful and unique - truly one of a kind. As a color nut with a garden some might find a bit loud, I can appreciate the wild side. :) I received a white bouquet from my children today, who said that the classic white was just what was needed, since I have all sorts of colors except pure white. In my world, ORA and Eden pass as white. :) So the children got me this one today for my eyes to have something to rest on. I loved it.
