Am at a loss...help with this blue on my ceiling
Comments (24)Bee- I think I secretly chose the color because of the name :) And I too have also been to many of the Greek Isles!! Now back to paint- the in house designer at paint store did tell me to go a bit lighter because of shadowing on the ceiling. It is not easy to see it as it is IRL because of my phone camera but it is brighter or I should say more saturated with color than the above pic. It was late afternoon and the room was a bit dark on a cloudy day. I am glad there are so many resident "pros" here like it as is. I will definitely post when everything is in! ttodd- your ceilings look really nice, I just dont have all that dark wood to balance the room though like the above posters mentioned. My room will be saturated in whites and light distressed woods. The darker blue works perfectly in your space though! And it helps to see the darker color in a different setting!...See MoreHelp choosing kitchen pendants
Comments (8)As for the faucet, that is the faucet she chose too, and it is IMO terrible. It's so high up that water splashes EVERYWHERE, including all over you. It also doesn't reach out far enough, so you're trying to wash something and you can't get it under the faucet because it's too close to the back wall of the sink. It's the pits. It's one I considered and almost went withâ¦until I did more reading, research, etc., and went in a whole other direction, and boy am I glad I didn't get that one! Just for the sake of saying it, what I settled on - and am not only so glad I did but my plumber gave me big kudos on the decision - was the Wolverine Brass Finale Single Handle Kitchen Faucet with side sprayer ( See link). I got it in the brushed nickel and am torn as to wether I wish I'd gotten it in the chrome, which is less expensive. I watched a video by some kitchen faucet manufacturer, can't recall which, and even they said they recommend getting a side sprayer if you have the sink for it (i.e.: four hole-sink v. one hole). I originally wanted a pull-down faucet, but based on that, went with the side spray, and again, am SO glad I did. The WB Finale Single Handle Kitchen faucet is the perfect height and extends out the perfect distance. It's HEAVY, which is one thing my plumber really liked about it, but he also praised me for getting a WB in the first place and said WB makes great faucets. Well, I love, love, LOVE the faucet. I ordered mine though the site below because WB doesn't sell directly to non-plumbers. But Elizabeth at Matson's was SO helpful and great. And look at the price! WAY cheaper than the one you ordered and a MUCH better faucet. Use the extra money for those gorgeous pendant lights and a nice light over the sink! I also don't like faucets that have the water control on one side of the faucet. Such a pain. With the water control on top, you can use either hand to control the water. One thing: I did buy a Moen weight to attach to the sprayer tube under the sink. I think it was @ $20 and totally worth it. The sprayer now goes right back into place and stays upright and tight in its place. I've made some decisions I regret. This is definitely NOT one of them. I will only purchase WB faucets in the future. They're inexpensive but very high quality because they're simple but very well made. That is rare now. Usually quality is sacrificed for bells and whistles and status/latest thing now. Don't make that mistake.

Comments (7)I'm Jan_in_Wisconsin, and I'm happy to know that my kitchen is liked by others. It was a challenge in putting it all together, for sure. I just wanted to say that the SW Flowerpot does look slightly more brickish red in real life. I agree with the other poster that since your cabinets, countertop, and backsplash are on the lighter side, that a deeper wall color might be more striking.

Comments (4)I would make a decision about what is going to happen with the rest of the house in 2022. If you decide not to replace the floor next year, then try to match the kitchen to what you have in the rest of your home. If you decide to replace the flooring in your home in 2022, just put something inexpensive and easy to remove (sheet vinyl??). And then replace it all next year. Don't try to hang on to the kitchen flooring just because it is new....See MoreRelated Professionals
