Almost Finished - Adel Medium Brown

Here a few pictures of my kitchen that is close to being finished. I'm thinking of changing the paint color because it looks a little dull to me. I also need ideas of what to do with the space I have between my sink cabinet and the end cabinet next to the refrigerator. Any suggestions?

Hey! That gives me a great idea...

I'll let you know what it is if it works... Otherwise, forget I said anything. This is not the comment you're looking for... ::waving hands in jedi mind trick::

Special1 - It looks great! I think that WOW! you're looking for is in a backsplash. It's a nice way to inject some of your personality into the room and drag in another color. It doesn't have to fancy or expensive, but often it adds that extra little bit that makes you take a second look.

If you're interested in pursuing one, let us know! We love helping with backsplashes!

HUUUUUUUGE Improvement!!!!

The problem is that you've gotten dressed but you haven't done your makeup and jewelry...er, hardware and backsplash LOL That will give that finished look that you are seeking. Are you going with AMB toekick or stainless?

I have the LANSA handles & AMB toekick and should have them done by this evening. The granite countertop came w /a 6" backsplash, how far up should I go w/a tile backsplash? Should I change my wall color or just paint my window trim a color darker than my walls? When I walk in the kitchen I just feel as if something is missing.

I think you should wait until you install the hardware, faucet and toekick. Then you can see what you want to do with the backsplash and wall color. It's a process!
