I would definitely go more blue than I would gray. I think it would be beautiful with the black furniture. I can picture a room that someone on here did, but I can't remember if they used blue or green on the walls. I remember they had black furniture and they had a four poster bed. Does anyone know who I'm talking about. I think the style was a little on the contemporary side, but I'm not positive. Laurie

Alexx - I really love your kitchen! It came out beautifully!! I have a question about your counters. I am doing a similar look with the white shaker cabs (framed w/full overlay) and quartz (Caesarstone Raven) countertops. I will also be doing a mitered edge with a 1.5" overhang. My question is ... how far do your counters project past your cabinet boxes, as well as past the doors/drawer fronts. There is some dispute between my cabinet maker and the countertop folks. Cabinet maker says I should have a 1" projection past the doors/drawer fronts, while the countertop folks are suggesting a "flush" appearance (not truly flush, but more like a 1/4" projection). Can you tell me what yours are? And if anyone reading this has suggestions or advice, I would appreciate it! Thank you!

I ran into a similar problem when we painted our family room. I was so worried about the color looking too grey, that I ended up with something that looks a little more "baby blue". This was a few years ago, so I think I can talk the hubs into painting again within the year. Some of the samples I've been pinning and saving....

if you don't want it to look light, then get a darker charcoal or even black. is there a way you can grab some samples and put them up on your roof? the roofing companies should send them out to you. they did to me. This way you'll see how much lighter they look once on top. Try Boral, Eagle roofing. unless you just want plain old asphalt?
