I was going to say panels, too. I don't see white being that great with the cream and I think the stainless might fight the wonderful copper...Unless you maybe include some stainless accents in your backsplash, maybe also on your hood, to tie things together. Have you chosen a range? You could go for some color or cream if you went with BlueStar or LaCanche with color choices...Maybe they have copper?

Just as an FYI, we had a local anaglypta expert come out and check out the wallpaper. He said that it is anaglypta, and that it has been painted, and is paintable. He also said that he would use the odorless Bullseye primer and then would paint over. The thing is, he quoted us almost $1,000 to fix the seams of the paper in 1 room; and to caulk edges, prime, and paint in three rooms that don't need repair. That doesn't include any paint or materials! We are now hoping that we can take this project on ourselves now that we've heard from an expert that the anaglypta is basically in good shape and can be painted. That said, what is the procedure for this? We were thinking--gently moisten edges of anaglypta that are coming up and use wallpaper seam repair from a tube; gently use a brush (not seam roller) to get edges down. Let dry for 24-48 hours. And then for the rest of the ceilings, clean surface, caulk edges, prime and let rest for 48 hours, and then paint two coats with 24 hour dry times in between. Does that sound about right? Thanks for any advice!

think little gray dress and camel accessories...maybe a butterscotch or caramel stain on maple...and then some textural white counters-say cambria with all the gray/caramel and off white going on to pull it all together. There's a warmer metallic?[champagne] for some hardware maybe ..with a good lighting accessory over the island. I suppose it depends on the actual shade of gray and more details about the space...do you have such info?

Ok so I should explain our plans we are going to close off the door leading into our bedroom and move it to the front of the house (beside stairs) rearrange the bathroom and closet(put them together). Off the hallway to nowhere we are going to (where that cutout is) go into the bathroom -take out tub and close it off and add laundrythere but also thinking of making it (the hall)wider so we could use a walk-in pantry area. We would add a 1/2 bath to the hall possibly where the bathroom door is now. The idea that this house didn’t have a true master bath was something that bothered me when we moved in, but we will be addressing this soon :) i just cant figure out this whole 2 back door things. Keep both or not. Any other suggestions?
