Autor originalhace 9 añosMr. Marko and Ms. Talianko,
Thank you so much for your thoughts! I checked out your color recommendation and I love it, and actually I'm really glad you suggested a creamy yellow hue. Definitely a livable color for us...and will also work in other places of the home too. We have played with the idea of staining the cabinets and painting the doors and trim. I'm curious to know what you would think of leaving leaving the wood trim around the windows and beams...I think the craftsmanship ads character to this home. The honey tones have grown on me a bit (i used to hate it and we told ourselves no honey oak, lol...but just so happens to be exploded all over the house we fell in love with). You should see our stairway though...it's beautiful (I think). I've always preferred an aged oak color...I wonder how that would look too. Either way, it will probably be a project for when our kids are a bit older...to prevent damage and add working labor, haha.
Ms. Talianko - great article! I'm so glad I read it because, for some unknown reason, I thought I should paint every room a different color, then got scared for fear of it looking like a rainbow. I'll post pictures when it's completed :)
Both of your advice will be used in this project....Thank you again so very much!

hace 7 añosI'm trying to find neural colors for these rooms that a join each other. Was looking at doing the long wall where sofa is with BM
Pashmina and doing rest with BM jute. And my husband will not let me paint or stain cabinets. Any suggestions?jhmarie
hace 7 añosI have an oak kitchen. My main floor wall color is Valspar Churchill Hotel Ecru. My home was built in 1976 and the trim was a dark stained pine which was not in great shape. I did paint the pine white, but cabinets remain wood and so do doors, though dark slab doors were replaced with paneled doors many years ago.

Arlene - you may want to post as a new dilemma. Many do not look at the older ones.

hace 7 añosThank you. The jute color I have is the same as what you have so that's good. I like that. Now I just have to decide in living room on one wall to make it a shade darker?jhmarie
hace 7 añosI am not an accent wall person. I am in general, not on trend:)
With the paint I used, it reflects a bit differently on each wall already. I am not sure a slightly darker wall would be apparent. One nice thing about the paint sample jars, you can try out an idea for not too much cost.

hace 7 añosÚltima modificación: hace 7 añosI think if you paint the cabinets and leave the window trim oak the window will stick out like a sore thumb. BUT it's a lot of work to paint the casings around doors, trim, etc and if this room opens up to others then It will look odd to have one kitchen window painted white and leaving the rest oak. So I say paint the cabinets first and then see if you want to paint the door/window casings white, too. You could always paint the window later, and just having the cabinets white will update and brighten up the space.
What type of counter top is that? Will you be replacing or leaving as is? it seems as though the floor tile is neutral and countertop is neutral, once cabinets are white you'll want to add a pop of color. Are you afraid of painting the walls a blue? Buxton Blue by Benjamin Moore or Van Courtland Blue by Benjamin moore are two hues that could look great with the brown/taupe floor, white countertops, and white cabinets. If you left the window trim oak I think it would tie in nicely with that as well. Blue is great for marrying the whites with the brown toes.

hace 7 añosAnother Buxton Blue wall in kitchen... the room also has some beige/brown tones like your kitchen

hace 7 añosThe van courtland blue in a kitchen is a bit more sophisticated IMO. Absolutely love this color.
Here is another example... Again, it works with white and beige/brown/taupe ones. Can be paired with gray or black accents. Truly a great way to add a pop of color without it being too loud.
