![]() I have this look in my home and like the brightness of the white combined with the warmth of the wood - but I also will add that my trim was dark stained pine, not oak and I might not have painted over oak - not sure. Solid wood paneled doors have more value then white and are much easier to upkeep. Just a thought - If you are painting trim, but have solid wood paneled doors, don't paint the doors. Compliments from house guests will come pouring in though when you are brave enough to use some color and ditch all those overused blah 1990's dated materials. I would use some color with at least a subtle " Punch". Perhaps in blocks of 9 floated in a solid color or used as a "border", running line, with a solid above it or below it. My advice on that particular tile would be to use it as an accent to another solid color tile. However, I can see how that would fit in with your overall design choices and mahogany cabinets. Normally I'd say find a tile with a different color combination. However with that being said, it has a design that if "overdone" will look like the 70's. The patterned tile you chose is rich in design and charming. You will see that in a few years everyone will follow my lead. I just purchased a house that the previous owners went "travertine & limestone Happy" in. Travertine is NOT "timeless" and I believe it is a very poor choice. if anything is overdone & "dated", it is travertine. One way to marry them at less expense is to remove selected floor tiles or portions of tiles and replace them with tiles that pick up the granite color, or are maybe granite tiles of the same stone if they are about the thickness of the current floor tile. It appears that the floor tile and the granite are not related in color. Doors and drawer fronts can easily be replaced with new ones of the same color. Because they take up so much space and tend to want to dominate the appearance of a room if they are too dark or too flamboyant, an option you might consider is taking them down a peg by painting the carcase a color from the aforementioned palette of subdued hues. Personally, I usually view kitchen cabinets as storage boxes, not furniture, and treat them accordingly. While the cherry veneer (likely) cabinets may be appealing in some kitchen situations, they seem to play a larger visual role in this kitchen than they should. As in a play, in a kitchen there should be a few items that play a starring role, and everything else is playing a supporting role. In doing so, I likely would opt for lighter colors everywhere, building the color palette around paler shades of a few colors in the items that are hardest to change, namely, the countertop granite and the floor tile. In my view, the room can be made more striking by lessening the number of color differences in it. I may have a somewhat different take on the room as a whole than many of the other commenters. I am excited to have a little bling in my calm and soothing kitchen, and I don't want to mess it up! I don't have the space to store the mixer, so I figured I would pretty it up and leave it out. I inherited the stand mixer, and while I am glad to have it, it was off-white, and my kitchen (remodeled in 2018) is bright white, light brown, and turquoise, and the off-white just didn't work. ![]() ![]() I am a spray paint novice and want to do this right. There is nothing about painting the item first. They just say to remove rust, sand, and wipe down the item. Does the clear gloss "count" as another coat of paint? Do I apply it a few minutes after the last coat of metallic turquoise? Or do I have to let the metallic paint cure for a day or two? The instructions for the clear gloss don't address this. I want to finish it with Stops Rust Gloss Clear Enamel, but when? The turquoise metallic paint says to apply 2 or more coats within a few minutes, or after 48 hours. I will do however many coats in takes about 3-5 minutes apart. I am applying turquoise metallic paint tomorrow. I already cleaned, taped, sanded, and primed it. Hi all, I am painting my stand mixer and can't quite find one bit of info I need. ![]()
