(These comments are hilarious. I love the whole 'pulling wifely rank' and 'paint 'em anyway'. As if the kitchen decor is more important then their marriage.. )I think your kitchen is gorgeous and it may as well be the mindset to have if you can't change it too much. Personally I would paint the walls a warm caramel shade and then get a new light fixture and window shades and oilcloth for the floor in black. Oh and +1 for removing the wavy wooden window valance. My folks just took that off their similar kitchen and it made a world of difference. Congrats on your new home!

I would fold clothes there as well. That or install a giant fishtank, if the counter is well-supported.

No. In my previous house all the ceilings were painted the same color as the walls and it was completely overwhelming and so refreshing to return them to white.

I can't say I'm a fan of yellow, it just seems far too energetic for bedrooms but I do appreciate how sunny the last example is.

I like the wall color a lot for a bedroom! Otherwise, I'd like to see a few more pictures to really be able to appreciate the 'after' aspect of this makeover.

with regard to resale value, if I saw this I would assume they used leftover roofing materials and wonder what else was done on the cheap. I'd pass on it.

Re: guests with food issues. I can't see it being a challenge when a guest shows up who doesn't drink alcohol. I mean, come on, really? Water with fruit in it? If you're hosting a meal and can't manage to have fruit juice or a soft drink on hand for those who are driving/have to get up early then you are a bad host!

I agree, every department store sells inexpensive blackout or foam-backed curtains. Add in tie-backs for light during the day and you're good to go.

This worked out very well. The white trim ties it all together and I ADORE the bedside lanterns! Nice job.
