We’ve lived in our house for over 10 years now, but we’ve never really treated it like “home”. Jim’s job has had us transferred in the past, and when we arrived in New Jersey and he began traveling, well, it seemed like this might not be our permanent home.
A small “don’t let the blind guy cook” kitchen fire occurred not too long ago, and with my admission to nursing school a done deal, it seemed like a good time to spruce the place up.
Except, for the most part, I suck at that!
So, I need to choose a color to paint not only my kitchen, but I have an old built in corner hutch that I want to strip and repaint. Jim seems to think we can just paint it a honey color and let it be, but I think it needs to be stripped. Please feel free to weigh in, as we are significantly design challenged.
So – here’s the kitchen:
This is a close up of the tile used as an accent border on the back splash – I think these are the colors I want to draw from to paint.
I kind of like the goldish/yellowish/light greenish color, but obviously, have no clue what the actual color is!
And this is my currently way too white for this room corner hutch. Strip and stain to match the cabinets, or paint?
I must have some gifted designer friends out there! Throw some ideas at me, and I’ll invite you over when the hot tub arrives!!
I say strip and stain it the closest color possible to the other cabinets. Paint color? The goldish/yellowish/light greenish color us wonderful but I think it may be a bit pukish when actually on the walls etc. Maybe a completely contrasting color (dark) to match the counter tops? Coffee bean!
