Find a fabric you love and take the color scheme from there maybe? Like Sara Richardson and Candace Olsen do. I redid my kitchen 2 yrs ago and I love it. The only regret I have is staying too neutral in the tile backsplash...now I wish I had gone gray-blue which I was attracted to, instead of the "safe" beige I went with. Most of all:Have fun!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051141273164126419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300365876551809810.post-12341114262594771222011-07-16T09:42:12.604-04:002011-07-16T09:42:12.604-04:00Hi Kathy!

A new place to decorate and love...how fun! If it were me, I would choose a kitchen that is white, light gray or aqua. I think those are all fabulous colours for a kitchen at a lake house! Have a fabulous Saturday with your family!

My advice would be to go conservative on the cabinets and do something fun and creative on the walls or with your furniture. Painting the cabinets is alot of work! If you do a crazy color and then a year or two later don't really love it anymore (this is what would happen to me--LOL) then it's a ton of work to repaint!!! I am loving the grey as well!!!! Best of luck!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841645015984852998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300365876551809810.post-66273066757210740522011-07-15T02:22:43.344-04:002011-07-15T02:22:43.344-04:00The first kitchen it the bomb!!!The first kitchen it the bomb!!!Kim @ A Brush of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596532131719564146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300365876551809810.post-26930937094209340252011-07-13T18:34:54.348-04:002011-07-13T18:34:54.348-04:00Hi Kathy...what fun!!

The advice regarding the window treatments was very helpful! <br />In regards to the kitchen cabinets, I LOVE the gray as well, I would also consider an off white too. I hope to tackle that project in the near future and am leaning more towards a grayish taupe. Similar to Martha Stewart's Mourning Dove that Layla at The Lettered Cottage used in her beautiful kitchen. <br />Again, I appreciate your kind words and becoming my newest follower! <br />Oh, just remembered... Kate at Centsational Girl just did a post about the Cabinet Transformations kit and she was very pleased with it! Hope that helps!

My friend's ...Just wanted to share with you... My friend's Grandparents raised their 4 children, crops, food in a house with a dirt floor. When they built a new home, one thing they included was a "utility room." Her utility room consisted of lots of cabinets, a washer & dryer, extra refrigerator and deep freeze (as she called it), a range with an oven and a large double sink. Directly ajoining the utility room was a half bath. I'm not sure why she had no shower there, but that was back in the 60's and she probably thought 2 bathtubs was extravagant!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300365876551809810.post-80567102474403833332011-07-10T18:31:25.534-04:002011-07-10T18:31:25.534-04:00I love each except for the LIME green one!
