Timothy Ingram's Profile

I have an open concept floor plan as well. I am planning on pairing Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter HC-172 with Benjamin Moore's Woodlawn Blue HC-147.

I decided I would only paint the kitchen walls that are visible while standing within the kitchen. This way the colors liven the space with it's own identity, although it avoids odd transitions into other parts of the open floor plan.

With your kitchen, I would only paint the walls to the right of the door alcove. That would be the wall the cabinets are touching on the right side of the picture.

Where could I find the bar stools in the first photo?

My personal favorite is a LaCie CooKey, which looks just like a key and fits with the rest of my keys on my keychain. It goes wherever I go, unless I lost my keys…

I had one of Philips' Wake-up Lights, although I ended up replacing it with an iPhone dock alarm and a bedside light which was setup with a timer. I found the Philips' Wake-up Lights did not have the audio-quality that I sought, although I wanted a light to help wake me up the mornings. This alternative ended up being less expensive and you could customize the look and feel with any alarm and light you choose.

Granted my light doesn't turn on gradually, however I am a heavy sleeper so the Philip's Wake-up Light never actually woke me up. I do like my alarm to gradually get louder, so I have this being done through my iPhone alarm clock.
