Hi Connie,
What a great space (from the land of small urban houses ?). I agree with Jaya’s suggestion as it’s hard to choose paint online.
A few thoughts. If you’re keeping the black appliances (which will look good with the counter) and the sink is black, perhaps updating the tap and cabinet handles in black will help unify the look. The handles are pretty dated and it’ll make it look more contemporary. Also, have you considered having the cabinets refaced? I’m looking into this for my kitchen - they take the doors and paint them and then come in and do all the boxed and trim. It’s apparently an economical solution and then you could coordinate the cabinet colour with the walls etc.

Hey guys!
Happy New year to one and all. We’ve been so busy trying to get stuff done at the new house that I’ve not had time to even think.
Anybody here good at decorating? I have a huge kitchen full of honey oak cabinets that are in excellent condition and too costly to replace. It needs help to look updated.
We are getting new counter tops for sure, but I can’t decide what color to paint the walls that will help minimize all that honey color. I’m not thrilled with the black appliances, but they’re staying for now. Too much else to pay for—carpet, paint, etc.
Here’s the pics from the real estate listing. It’s currently lavender and plum at the bottom below the chair rail. Does nothing for the room. The border with grapes is already outta there!
The tile is in good shape but hate the black grout lines so we are having the grout redone.
This is the countertop color I’m thinking of.
And ideas are greatly appreciated!
Connie
