Need help picking kitchen paint color
Comments (11)I'd be nervous picking out colors just from small samples. I guess they won't let you pick out the actual slabs of granite they'd be installing? That's what I'd want to do. I googled your granite and there seems to be a lot of variations in the colors. That's why I would want to see the slabs before I chose my tile, etc. Here's one kitchen I found, but I don't know what's going on with the back splash and wall color. I'm seeing gray, red and brown and olive. http://www.marble.com/portfolio/kitchens/165 On this site they say there's more grey and black in the granite. I agree what they say about the back splash. I don't think I'd like the brown tile or sink. http://www.ehow.com/list_7576927_colors-go-giallo-ornamental-granite.html Here they have some pics with the lighter but rougher faced tile like they mention above. http://www.granitegurus.com/2010/08/slab-sunday-giallo-ornamental-granite.html You should be able to get samples of the tile you're interested in. If you can't get it from one dealer, go to another or order samples from the company that makes the tile. You'd think you'd get better customer service in this economy....See MoreNeed help picking brown paint for kitchen island cabinet.
Comments (5)depends on stain shade of floor. Brown can be reddish/ orangeish/ or grayish.... as well, light medium and dark w regard to the intensity. And your lighting will make a difference too. [natural light/or lack...and room lighting] . some woods with smooth texture and medium to dark stain can be an alternative to the expense of paint...and the upkeep of paint also. Picture cherry with a medium to dark stain will over time have an even look without the grain of oak if that's your goal. Birch and alder with darker stains will be similar in even smooth texture. Brown is rich and warm and there are different ways to achieve the smooth brown painted look.....[before you cement your decision. ]...See MoreNeed help picking a wall color for my living room/kitchen
Comments (6)Sorry so many comments, internet slow and won't take a lot of pics at once. Walls Bittersweet stem, accent wall as above. I'd paint the door the wall color since you don't have trim around it. It looks unfinished in these pics. not sure these are the right colors but they give you the idea....See Moreneed help picking out paint color for kitchen cabinets and trim
