Julie, I wonder if you could find some checked curtains in that burgundy color and white for over your window. That would be very cute. You could tie them back with satin ribbon in the same red color. It would give your kitchen a homey feel, too.

that french provencial fabric i posted WAY back would look nice as drapes too. checked might give it more of the Americana look you are trying to avoid.

Cool ideas, thanks!

Escapee, have you made any decisions about your kitchen?

WHo's gonna post another room? We need something to work on!

Actually a guy is SUPPOSED to come out today to do the wainscoting. Have not heard from him yet though...

I haven't yet. I want something warm, but not dark in there. Argh. Sage turned out to be too cool of a color.


Let's paint shall we.

There are several shades of sage, did you try a few out? I think sage would be so lovely in there. I love your cabinets, Escapee.

First thing I'd do is lose the hats. Then I would cut the floor from under the cabinets.

What about a light yellow or an airy light green? Or that wicker color that Yankee posted somewhere....

It's not going to get cut. It's not really as apparent as it is in the pictures. We are also going to get a fancy hat rack for DH's hats. So they will be gone as well, they are just being "held" there for now. Also, the tile in the entry way is going to go. That will be the same hardwood that's in the rest of the house. (not the kitchen)

(Escapee I like green, but the one you have above is a bit too bold...)

Julie, that's too bright, I think. On the SW website, there is a color called "Willow Tree" I am trying to match it so I can show you all. Remember, I have very thick drapes, so I don't want it too dark, but I don't want it to be a cool color like the sea green above.

Julieboo, this light 70026 or maybe some track lighting chideco
close to the ceiling would look great over your island.

The sage that my parents had had yellowish/taupish undertones (but it was sage green) so it was very warm. Not cool at all. She had the same color cabinetry as you, too.

It looked nothing like the greens posted just above.

I wish she could remember the color, but she's adamant it was an Eddie Bauer from Lowe's. I thought it was called "pecan" (even though that doesn't sound right) but she says no.

I have another project for all you decorators out there. After 11 years we finally got new bedroom furniture and now I need to paint and accessorize. I know some of you don't like the boring old netrual tones but it's what I'm looking for. Although my house is new we tried to keep an old feel to it so there is alot of wood and most of it is orangy/brown. My main level is all yellow including my bedroom which is also on the main level but it's a much lighter yellow than the rest. I hate it, and am finished with it.

So this is what I need...
- New bedspred or duvet cover
- Accessories
- Paint
- possibly an area rug although we are enjoying the floor without one right now.

My Ideas...
- Boring old brown/beige type color that can be a deep shade
- Black picture frames with real chunky borders that I will fill a picture of my kids no doubt.

So go to it...
