A Very Successful Kitchen Makeover - Country Meadows Estates, Glenmont, Albany County
From bland to beautiful...
A great shade of paint on the walls, Sherwin William's Ryegrass, and a 23' long faux tile backplash in greens and plum brought this beautiful but bland all white kitchen to life.
The Kitchen After
The Solution? Pump up the Wall Color and Add an Eyecatching Faux Tile Backsplash!
The Kitchen Before
The problem: Too Much White!
This spacious kitchen had only one problem: a lifeless white on ivory color scheme. The customer and I discussed decorative painting in key places (over windows and doors, around the bay window of the dining area). We came to the conclusion that the room needed more than just accents: It needed a serious shot of color. That said, the color needed to work well with existing drapery in the dining area and living room. Additionally, the kitchen color had to flow harmoniously into the living room, which is painted in a warm golden Tuscany finish.
After brainstorming colors at the new Delmar Sherwin Williams store, where we had a serendipitous run in with just the right shade of green, I began the project by painting the kitchen walls in Duration Ryegrass.
Now, the formerly unobstrusive, indistinct white cabinets and grey countertops stood out and could be seen as actual colors. The green walls were warm, inviting and alive! We knew we were on the right track. But the kitchen still needed something else. Faux tile on point rather than in a checkered pattern was the answer. I sketched several tile patterns. My client chose a configuration that picked up on the pattern in her existing flooring and added a shot of plum to the color scheme, echoing the plum in her existing floral arrangements, drapery and accessories.
