love the apartment and the girl who lives in it. if you few mean ones only knew. she's the type of girl who'd share her only cookie with a stranger if she thought it'd brighten someone else's day. i hope you feel ashamed of your rudeness. it's very unbecoming. why bother with it, anyway? it only comes back. and it stings when it does.

i kept finding myself saying, "i have that" about the small details. i LOVE it all. and then i saw your calendar is set to my birthday. is that your birthday? i wonder if we are truly kindred spirits.

i also like the idea of painting the medicine cabinet black! and i would consider getting a shower curtain that brings out the color of the brick, if you choose not to paint it.

baby fawn looks nice with chelsea gray and has a slight (very slight) rosey undertone which adds nice warmth without going yellow. another option is moonshine or gray owl. all ben moore paints. in my kitchen i have subway tile, dark-ish grout and gray owl. it's a nice combo. good luck!

put a bench under the bay window with colorful pillows. i think the clean shutters look great on their own though.

i'd go with white cabinets. and maybe paint either the stools or the island turquoise. and maybe some turquoise knobs on the white cabinets. some yellow pops of color might look nice too, maybe in the curtain and possibly in some utensil crocks on the counter. if you painted the island turquoise, maybe the stools would look nice yellow.

here's a photo of something similar...

thanks again everyone. by the way, i feel the need to mention that i took this photo before moving in so nothing is mine. that "awful mat" will definitely be going! :)

@jane jones. i thought about the stainless cover on the dishwasher. are they standard sizes already and where can i pick one up? i do plan to replace the the appliances to ss eventually but won't be able to do that right away.

i totally think the back splash is awful! i think i'll just have to find a way to get rid of it.


What Color Should I Paint Kitchen Cabinets?

hey guys thanks so much for your input. a good friend recommended staining them just today so i'm definitely going to consider that! also i've totally reconsidered the blue since posting the question. i think it WILL clash with the counters. you guys are right. i think i will go with more of a beige on the walls. and see what works with that in the conjoining room. i spent some time in the ace hotel today and saw a wonderful color palette downstairs. the green from the counters was even there! everything else was grey, slate beige and cream. i'm thinking some version of this with maybe more brown undertones.

thank you all so much for your input. so much good advice to be found here!

as far as actual colors go, i'm thinking maybe ben moore soft chamois on the cabinets (if i don't stain) and maybe sandy hook gray on the walls or revere pewter. anyone have experience with those colors?

i'll put up some photos when it's done...some day. thanks again!
