naughtybabe Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Wood floors and perhaps a light blue color on the walls it givesthe idea that you have more space and hopefully you have a nicesource of light!. dgmodel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naughtybabe Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I agree with you about the leak or spill I just love the look.. Ideally if I had the money I would love for my floors to be marble (black)... Maybe one day but I guess if they do want the wood look the can always get the titles or the linoleum.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop around see what feels right.. you might find an awesomeshade of blue but I would just suggest for it to be a light bluelike these...http://www.rlhome.polo.com/rlhome/products/paint/items.asp?haid=51&f=lp&start=0Cedar Lake or maybe lighter or darker - the choice is yours!

xxlea Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I just repainted my kitchen yellow and what a difference it made. My floor's are black/white checkered tile and w/ the new color makes the whole kitchen brighter. No window's in the kitchen and the yellow really brightened up the place. dgmodel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 i was debating between yellow and a lime green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmagal Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 My suggestion:Black or dark grey on the floors and counter tops and a bright color on the walls. The lime green is actually a good idea as long as the shade is right. You want to stay away from anything with a dark under tone (more avacado).

bigpoppanils Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 stanless steel sucks...it's such a bitch with finger prints. actually there are a lot of stainless steel appliances that are smudge proof.and with stainless steel.....wood floors are pretty much a must. tile doesnt look too good.I have a lot of steel in my house (not appliances....but exposed beams and heating ducts, etc) and tile floors. The steel and the tile clash really badly.btw: now that i think about it....black and white checker tile might be a good idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppanils Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 the cabinents that are there now, have about 84" of paint on them, theyre like the first cabinents ever made lol... i think they need to be refinished or maybe just replace them altogether...refinishing and repainting can save you tons of money...especially if you do it yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 theyll definately have to be repainted... plus new handles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocfgs Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Stainless steel is man greatest invention, Well 2nd to the Fiero. I would paint it all black. With white tiles. Do some chrome pinstipews on the walls. You will need alot of light. Proper placement means everything. Without it, its going to look to dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaligirl Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 From what I have seen (I watch alot of Trading Spaces)lol, they always go dark with stainless steel appliances. A light color on the wall will not do any justice to the stainless appliances. With that I would also go with a dark counter top (granite is the best). You could look at some of the reds, oranges, colors like that. It will give your kitchen a warm and cozy feeling.Happy painting!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
