Too many Shades of Grey! Which one did you choose?
Comments (14)susielovestopaint - Gray Owl is one of my choices! CEFreeman - I am having led lighting in my kitchen. I find it amazing the way cabinet, countertop and paint samples change their "complexion" in the actual room, and at different times of day. I bought sample pots and painted them onto sample boards because long ago I learned the hard way that what looks good on the little swatch looks very different in a big space. I once thought I was painting my bedroom pale terra cotta only to find Miami Dolphins orange on the walls. But you are correct, grey is proving very elusive. I have also tried to complement the grey with Antique Lace - too yellow, Linen White - maybe, but meh, etc., etc. All choices so far look good with the Frosty White, but not in the room itself. Ditto countertop samples. It is daunting. (Plus, I am a wreck over assembling the cabinets this weekend. You are my hero CEFreeman. I have read and re-read your posts. Can't find anything on youtube about inset drawers, but that's for another thread. I was thinking of giving you a shout out about it.)...See MoreAnyone have pics of gray-green cabs? or metal ones?
Comments (2)I mean you can have a look at some cabinets there and decide how to finish yours. I don't have that cabinet also . hehe^_^...See MoreCabinet one side, wall to dining room one side which size refrigerator
Comments (16)Deb, I feel for your situation! It might make you feel better to know that, in my experience anyway, counter depth fridges are much easier to organize than full depth. Even with fewer cubic feet, you may feel like you have much more fridge. Especially if you get one with flat shelves straight across (not divided in the middle, which to me compromises usable space terribly). In my last house, I "downsized" from a huge french door fridge to a smaller Fisher Paykel, my first counter depth, and it felt so much bigger despite a significant loss of cubic feet. If I were in your shoes, I would not be too committed to the 22 cubic foot minimum. Find some options that fit your exterior dimensions then take a look in person. A smaller fridge that has the interior design that works for you will be a lot more useful than a big fridge with a poor design. (Also, running a water line is in many cases very easy. However, water and ice dispensers eat up interior space.)...See MoreNeed to remove warmth from floor and green from gray wall.
Comments (15)To get rid of warmth (ie. red) from a RED-brown floor = get rid of the floor. I'm sorry but that is the truth of the situation. Red-brown doesn't like to play nice with grays. You can see that with the colour clash in the fireplace (yes...there is a flooring/fireplace colour clash) and the gray in the walls. Sure the green belt is throwing green into the space....but that only occurs when the sun is up. I would say the flooring was chosen to match the cabinets. Now that you are changing the kitchen to gray/white/blue or black, you are going to have a heck of a time working around the red-brown. To fix the problem with the floor colour, you have to change the floor colour. This is where a whole home/space approach is wise to consider when looking at a kitchen renovation. Now that the "match" to the cabinets is going to change, you will probably need to look at new flooring to help you move towards your goal....See MoreJAN MOYER
