Hi this isn't a question about this house but I'm not sure where else to post it. I'm looking for the house tour or story that was done a while ago with a really cute attic make over. I think the woman was a designer. She turned this very small attic into a cute guest bedroom and used a lovely marimeko fabric for the curtains. There were leaves space cupboards on either end. I think it had a pink feel to it. Wish I could be clearer. Can anyone help? Ring any bells? I'm sure there was also a story about their house and the main photo was of the living room. I've searched the house tours archives but can't seem to find it. Thanks everyone.

Enough with the detail shots already!!
It's one thing, during the small cool comp, when there are only 6 photos, to not see bathrooms and kitchens but when there are 50 shots!! Where is the rest of the apartment?

It's not a good idea to stick something on to the counter tops as, whatever you use, it won't be sturdy enough for preparing food. It's not a huge job to replace the counter top (unless there is a whole lot more to this kitchen than you have shown). Ikea can cut to size and isn't too expensive. The cupboard doors can be primed and painted though, if there aren't too many of them, it may not cost much more to just replace the doors. I would replace the counter top and doors first and then decide if you need to do anything about the tiles. I think they will look much nicer when everything else isn't trying to match.

Wow! Are the comments always this cruel with this competition? It's not a showroom, this is someone's home and they have invited us into it. I imagine they are reading the comments too. It may not be your personal style and you can vote that way but there is no need to just offer completely negative feedback that has no offer of alternative or suggestion. It's no wonder there aren't many entries this year.
Isn't this a community? How about some respect people.

I can't get through to the site via the link or by putting in the address www.studionommo.com
Any suggestions of another site address or a different link? Thanks.

I should have mentioned that another reason I was thinking dark grey is that it would reflect the shadows that come from the foliage outside and go beautifully with the green that you see through the window.

The walls are a 'cool' (predominantly blue tint) white and they are making the 'warm' (predominantly yellow tint) white of the cabinets appear more yellow. When they are put together they usually also make one another look a little dingy.
You can keep an all white theme by painting your walls a warm white. Go to your local paint store and speak to them. Dulux do a very large range of warm whites and your cabinets won't look yellow anymore.
Painting the walls blue would be lovely but it is a contrasting colour and will make them seem more yellow.
