Need help with paint and counter top.. Pretty Pls!
Comments (4)Thank you. I agree. We tried to simulate paint colors on Ben Moore website and didn't like how the greys looked with the cabinets. We are leaning toward BM golden straw for the entire first floor to go with the floors and cabinets. Will it be too yellow? And for the granite we looked at Tanami( recently found out it's also called giallo ornamental). It looks creamy with brown specks on it. Would love to hear comments on these selections. Hard to visualize everything but hoping it will all come together in the end....See MoreColor scheme? Countertop, Backsplash, Paint, Flooring advice needed...
Comments (1)First thing to do is make sure you have the optimal efficient layout. Even if you think you do, I'd strongly recommend posting it here.

Comments (1)Some questions need to be answered first: 1. What is your style? 2. I’m seeing tile and something else in the kitchen. What flooring domyou have in each room? 3. It looks like some cabinets have already been painted. Are your starting over or are those to remain as is? 4. Are you keeping the wall paint?...See MoreNeeding help choosing coordinating floors, counter top and backsplash
Comments (12)thank you, what did you mean by "I would not take up the charge of the sink"? Do you mean you wouldn't bother replacing? Regarding the flooring....the rest of the house has the old school 3/4" oak flooring so if I change the flooring to hardwood in the kitchen and entryway, I would have to change out all the hardwood in the living room and kitchen. This was my thought process anyway. I did check out the cost and for the flooring I like, it would be a lot of $. To answer your question, the sq footage of the combined entry way and kitchen which is currently tiled, is about 170 sq ft. what did you mean about backsplash? I was thinking black granite counter top and then a simple backsplash and yes I def want a coordinated look. warm, inviting and not choppy and misfitting. thanks again...See Moredesignmj
