Maybe, something for us to think about I will have a look at tiles in that color. This is certainly something my husband and I just can't agree with , I tend to go for the warm cream glazed cabinets and he wants to go for a whole new look of clean whites and baby blue tile, We saw a beautiful white kitchen done with a baby blue subway tile online, we both fell in love with, but having the brown furniture, is shifting everything more towards my cream glazed cabinets with brown and tan tiles. I certainly can't invision so much white surrounding brown tones. I am color-coordinated impaired, (unless I stay with the creamy warm tones) spending loads of money on paint and not having it look right is a heavy feeling. He feels white goes with everything, I feel like it would be sterile and cold. Arrrg he's so stuck on this blue and white kitchen.

Have you decided on your counter material? Think about how your faucet will look against it. I don't generally like dark finish faucets (exceptions to everything, but generally), so my tendency would be towards any silver tone for the faucet. Nickel would be warmer and more consistent with your light fixtures, and that would probably be the way most folks would go. If you like chrome or have a reason to feel it is better with your counter and splash it will be right next to, or even if you don't see enough difference to pay extra for (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot), you don't have to use nickel. Most people would, but like I said -- I wanted chrome against my marble and white tile. Chrome was better than the warmer nickel for me. I like the style of the pulls and think you did a good job on that. I honestly don't know what finish I would pick. My first thought would be a silver tone and probably a brushed finish, but I might develop an itch if I felt things were getting too matchy. But I worry about getting the dalmatian look if I go to dark against white cabinets. So I might do the polished. Or look into the idea of an aged brass or warmer tone (mentioned above and a finish family that is coming back) and tie in with the contrasting details on your fixtures. Or play with the idea of using brass screws on the pulls -- might not get too spotty if you have knobs above on everything at eye level. You'll figure it out.

Can someone tell me what this color white means for me then? It's supposed to be a bright white. Will it work with the crisp muslin? Sure will. DEW380 is a very pretty white. As you can see from its hue family notation it belongs to the middle of the Green-Yellow (GY) hue family. Chroma of 0.10. And that's everything you want in a clean, crisp, neutral "just white" white. It would take some diggin' to find a color that does not work with DEW380. With its low chroma it even works with other colors of white and you don't have to worry about either color of white looking dirty or dingy - again, because DEW380 has such a low chroma value of 0.10.

That's a fantastic looking home! Congrats. It looks like the parquet is the 'thin' stuff which means it probably can't handle a refinish (it might....but don't count on it). The previous owners did a nice job 'matching' the tones for the living room wood-tile and the beams. That's the type of match that looks quite nice. That being said, you definitely have plenty of flooring going on. You are correct, the gray walls (trying to be trendy without doing the updates needed to complete the look) are not helping. Here's the issue I see: the COST! If you have the budget for $2/sf removal of the existing tiles and then have the budget to install LARGE FORMAT 'wood look' tiles throughout (should be $15-$18/sf for materials + labour) then go for it. If you do the math, you could be looking at $17-$20/sf. If we *assume you ONLY have 1000sf of flooring (I'm guessing the floors would be more like 2000sf) you are looking at $20K. If we price it more to the 2000sf then you have a price tag getting close to $40K. And we haven't even touched the parquet or the brick. I like the brick. But it does break up the house even more. And I always worry that an 'outdoor space turned indoor space' like this one hasn't been done 'properly'. And that could be another money-pit waiting to happen. Ask yourself the question: Do I have the BUDGET for $20/sf for flooring? And another $5K for painting?
