95% Finished Off White Kitchen--Kind of Long
Comments (24)Katybuggs, dcclerk, maydl, thank you for your compliments. I have had a lot of compliments from people who have seen my kitchen for the first time, and especially from those who knew what it was like before. The best compliment I have had came earlier this week when a good friend saw it for the first time and she said "It is so functional." Besides wanting it to look good, I worked hard to make it functional for us. Katybuggs, The room size is 21 feet 3 inches by 13 feet 10 inches. This also includes the area where the table is and the wall with the two antique pieces. My long run of cabinets (which is the stove wall) is 14 feet long. Our old kitchen had a wall dividing the kitchen and what used to be the family room. We exended the cabinets and made a pennisula and, yes, it was always cluttered. We would come in and drop everything there. I am working hard not to do that with the island. So far I am very pleased with everything. I do not know of anything that I would change. If we still had children at home, I think the stainless steel appliances might be hard to keep, but since it is just DH and myself we are OK. dcclerk, My long distance KD was Lyndi Sheasley from Interior Ideas, Inc. in Bellevue, WA. I know other GW'ers have used her and I got her name from here. She was very good to work with and I felt no pressure from her. I was able to take her plans to cabinet shops and get quotes to compare prices. In a small town it is very easy to make someone mad/hurt feelings, ect. so I did not want to spend time to work up designs and then not use them. I need my backsplash and curtains to be completely finished, but I did finally bite the bullet and order the tiles for my backsplash. I hope I like them when they come in! I will post the finished product when completed. Thanks again, everyone, for the compliments!...See MoreReveal: Long & Narrower White, Grey & Green EIK

There aren't NEARLY enough comments on this kitchen. people must'vebeen outside enjoying the summer and not in the kitchen forums. Total eye candy....See MoreKitchen wall color with green and off white cabinets?
Comments (22)Lori, it looks just beautiful! The depth of the color of your lower cabinets in Saguaro is wonderful, and turns the space into something that just lives and breathes. It will “live” well with your young children. The whole space feels like a lively and comfortable space for family and guests alike. The touches like rounding the corners of the countertops in the high traffic areas and the built in storage bench are great and will really enhance how your family lives in the kitchen. I love the wall color that you ultimately chose. Can you please share the details? A few touches of the gorgeous olive saguaro connect your living area nicely. I love the artwork and decor that Beth H posted! I’m sorry your “event” destroyed your kitchen and put you under so much pressure to remodel under lousy circumstances, but I think you came through with a beautiful kitchen. As challenging as it was to tie the new kitchen to the existing space without succumbing to the repose gray, I think you managed it beautifully and hope all the stress of decisions and financial bleed out are but a memory now as you love your new kitchen. I’m very happy you have a color you love, and not just a quick neutral placeholder hurriedly chosen to simply match the nearby existing decor. Your kitchen and nook are lovely!...See MoreOff-white walls, matching ceiling and trim? SW or BM paint
Comments (16)@izzieo, I like that shoji white, too! And if by taupe you mean the taupe that's pictured for the painted cabs, it looks like it works nicely with the oak--but it is so hard to tell exactly from a photo! I would say that if you're using white or very light colors, i'd paint the ceilng, walls and trim the same. And/or if you have high ceilings. I don't think your selections are boring! I think the quality of the paint can provide depth even with neutral colors. For me, I think in the rooms that are a color (as opposed to white), I'm keeping the ceilings white. If the ceiling gets too dark I always feel kind of claustrophobic, but that's me! After being on site today, I've decided to keep the trim the same throughout the house, so it will all be oxford white but in semigloss (the walls will be matte). It's hard to tell what colors really look like anywhere but in the actual room and actual lighting! I knew this but got a real lesson today in the fact that my current house's light is nothing like the house-in-progress. I tried to edit my post but deleted by accident! oops... I was going to add that when I went there with all my paint sample boards today, almost all the colors looked wrong in the space. Many of the blues read too purple, and many of the colors I picked were too dark. The one I was looking at for my office cabs looked too "crayola"--it needs more gray in it or something. And even though I actually really like November Rain, it read as more yellow than I wanted in my office. What I did choose, though-- BM Silver half dollar actually looks great in the stairwell. I'm still set on Oxford White for the halls and the great room and trim. I chose a different green for one of the bedrooms, BM Spring Valley, it's light and warm, and I really like it. I might also use it in the laundry room, because I want something soft but cheerful in there. (My laundry room is also my dog grooming room, so I spend significant time in there!) Will be back at the paint store tomorrow, I'm afraid. Now I'm thinking that I might want to do something totally different in my office, like light melon on the walls and dark gray built-ins. At least BM has half-price samples right now!...See MoreRelated Professionals
