Well, IMO, the artwork you posted, of the wine bottles, is perfect for the PS. I think your kitchen right now is SO monotone that the brown/green in the PS will actually give it some life, some warmth. My suggestion would be to get a sample pine and paint as much of the kitchen using the sample paint as you can (you can probably paint the entire kitchen with it). then live with it for a week, and see how you feel about it. You might not like it at first as it will be a change (although not a dramatic one!). I kind of get the feeling you're hesitant to make a move because of that, which leads me to believe your first instinct will be to regret any change (which also explains why your first choices of paint color were so darn close to what you've got there now!). At any rate, the brown/green of the PS will definitely be better than the pink of the Twine! I really like the way the PS shows in that inspiration pic of the bathroom. and it will be great with your countertops too.

Thanks Lisa and Anna, The Brown Pearl was my first choice when we started dreaming about our kitchen remodel but now that the kitchen shell is built, it looks a lot darker even with three windows. The windows face north and east, which might explain the gloomy feel. I am concerned that the brown pearl will make the kitchen feel darker. Its the least expensive choice so that leaves more $ for other things :) Do you think the CB clashes with the orange of the floor ? The slab we saw had a fair amount of orange but not as dark orange as our floor. Do you think the CB has cooler undertones (that would be a nightmare !!) The Typhoon Bordeaux is in contention but the slabs we saw were kind of boring and too beige. The showroom person said that this lot of TB was less interesting than what they have gotten in the past. Between the hidden granite undertones and the change in appearance with lighting I am afraid I could be in "indecision land" for a long time.......... Maybe I need to visit a different granite warehouse. Any recommendations in SE Michigan ? Thanks,

What colors do you see when you enter your home. The inside and outside should speak the same language. Minimally I would paint the shutters white to help balance the white around the door. It feels unbalanced with the large white door frame and just skinny pieces of white elsewhere. If you are happy with the color of the outside I would probably still pick a lighter color for the brick - just about 2 shades lighter to give some visual interest. Use the same color as the brick for the garage door. Pick a color from your interior space for the front door if it works with the outside color. If you want to repaint the brick and siding I would choose the same/similar neutral that you have on the inside to paint the outside and still pick a color from your interior to paint the door.

here's the link to O for that rug, but it's out of stock. they do have others. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Area-Rugs/31446/subcat.html Try here for some other choices for colorful rugs https://www.rugs-direct.com/Store/nav/Category-Area-Rugs-Brand-Loloi-Rugs Stay away from the 100% polypropolene rugs. they're super thin and cheap looking. try and get the other materials (like wool, nylon, polyester, jute, sisal, cotton, or a mixture) but, if you're on a budget and don't care, then the propolene rugs are the best for the budget. just don't be surprised when you see how thin they are!
