Hiya Laura Yes, that was me that did your previous PSing. Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop on my new computer that I got for Christmas. I've been trying to avoid putting it on here because it really sucks up alot of room on my hard drive. I "think" I might still have some of your photos saved on my old computer and I could repost them so others can comment. I'm not sure who is doing Photoshop on here anymore? I'm trying to remember...did I do your whole house in brown with green trim? Or did I do a bunch of green versions too?? I forget! Lindy

Mona, thank you, that definitely gives me an idea of what it could look like and I truly appreciate your help! Linnea, my counter is Santa Cecilia Light and the backsplash is from DalTile, it's a very pale taupe matte finish tile. Scoobyruby & Annie, I'd be the first person to admit there is nothing wrong with these cabinets. However, for the past ten years, I've had cherry cabinets and these are similar in color being that they are maple with a cherry stain. I really have "painted cabinet envy" and every time I see a beautiful kitchen with ivory cabinets, I drool....my poor keyboard has taken a beating ;) I found beautiful hardware in a black wrought iron finish that is just what I wanted. I am also planning on painting the walls after the cabinets are painted, either in a dark taupe or mossy green. My kitchen is situated in the center of the first floor and only receives indirect sunlight. That's another reason why I'd like them done in a light paint, to brighten up the kitchen. As it is, it's just too dark for me. I do appreciate all the opinions, keep 'em coming!

I agree but everything I bring home has either too much pink or too much orange in it. The one color/finish (Pecan) that I liked from Lauzon doesn't come in square edge or in select & better. So I have to decide if I can live w/bevel edges and more variation in the wood OR go back to looking at tile. I am so confused at this point I think I'll just leave the bare concrete there LOL!!! Margie: good meeting you yesterday & thanks for having me over!

Ideamom, I don't see a lot of photoshopping on the kitchens forum. You might want to post over on the decorating forum, where more photoshoppers seem to hang out.
