Please Help - Color Selection for Walls/Ceiling
Comments (2)Your home sounds beautiful! I just looked up black fox. Nice color...looks dark but not sure what your house looks like. Someone here will surely help as they know their colors well!! Ever considered a gray green? Just a thought. For ceilings I would consider a lighter color in the same family as the walls or the same color as the walls. Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Comments (36)Lee, yes I used my old boxes, and replaced doors and drawer fronts. Cabinet doors cost aprox 1,300 (with slow closing hinges). I was the GC (had practice with small BR), my painter did the sanding/priming/painting of boxes (also had to do same for my walls which had textured paint). I hired a contractor who was also able to do wood work for me, I had cabinet above cooktop raised for microwave, and pushed out cabinet over refrigerator, also had (something I would recommend) drawer made for under cooktop, and pullout for sponges, he put on my hardware, and did tile work. Contractor also installed my floor and all kitchen appliances. Electrician did additional lighting, under counter lighting, and outlet for microwave. Total cost of kitchen was 14,000 (not including appliances). When I priced gutting my kitchen (leaving sofits), cost was 20,000, price without all the extras. Before starting kitchen I thought price was going to be 10,000. The only thing I didnâÂÂt purchase before was the BSâ¦.needed to see granite and cabinets together, but since kitchen took almost 6 weeks to complete I had time. I shopped for fabricator both by price and recommendations. The only person I would never use again was the contractor, who did excellent work, but was difficult to deal with. I knew what I wanted, shed many tears, but am very happy with my new kitchen. (I will look for manufacturer of doors if you want it). debrak2008 the wall hanging is old tin ceiling tiles. This site may help. I was lucky I found it mounted at a flea market, but they can be put together to make art work by mounting on wood. http://dishfunctionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2012/05/embossed-tin-ceiling-tiles-recycled.html...See MoreHelp select Tile Color for Honey Spice Maple Cabinets (URGENT)
Comments (5)Personally, I find tile a consumers nightmare! Every time I've had to pick out tile I come home from shopping confounded! Take your door and countertop sample with you, go tile shopping and bring home LOTS of samples. I would also take into consideration the color of your appliances. I have honey spice birch cabinets, a dark grey countertop, ss appliances, and I ended up with a tile I love (unfortunately, it is discontinued or I'd recommend it). Our floor tile is a colorbody (or through body) porcelain and it wears like iron. It looks kind of like a weathered limestone with colors of the honey spice tone, silvery grey and white. It is not too dark and not too light; hides dirt too. I also like the feel of it on bare feet, like water worn stone. We got 18" tiles and we like that size in a smallish kitchen. DH thinks it is one of his favorite things about the kitchen. I feel for you - choosing tile is hard. It helped me to have my BIL give his opinion; he is a printer. So, I'd suggest having someone you know with color sense come and take a look at the samples in your kitchen. Good luck with it and let us know what you choose....See MorePlease help with counter selection for walnut slab cabinets
Comments (11)@HeatherG: Aw, lucky! I've been looking at other IKEA customizers like The Cabinet Face but decided to try a highly recommended local cabinet maker to see what he could offer in walnut veneer. To my surprise, his bid ended up only $2k more than the IKEA + Semihandmade price, but his ability to customize was a big plus for us (we have a sloped ceiling and an oddly placed beam), plus he does all maple interiors with dovetail joinery, which I love. But my DH was a little sad to see his long-planned IKEA kitchen go down the tubes. What is the Sonoma line you speak of? And yes, would love to hear/see what you find at Pental!...See MoreBeth H. :
