little by little




Well, I didn't care for the dark wall color behind these cabinets after the backsplash was installed...

 


...So, I painted  the two walls behind the cabinets a creamy off white called "Birch White". The opposite wall remains the mocha color, which is actually closer to an olive green.
Like the backsplash? I chose "antique white" grout to bring the granite color into the backsplash.




Yes, that is a "Hello Kitty" toaster next to my Kitchenaid mixer.
You can see that I am now finishing up the bottom cabinets-a little harder to do with a six month old puppy around.




The floor




I chose "mushroom" for the floor grout to blend right in with the tile color.




While "Tile Concepts" of Wappingers, NY was working on the kitchen, I started painting the dining room. The top is painted "Dune". The bottom is the same creamy "Birch White" I used in the kitchen. The paint I used is Valspar paint and primer in one to completely cover the blue paneling and create a beadboard/wainscoting look.
