Raven, I think it would be gorgeous. It would look great in my kitchen (or should I say the kitchen in my head) . . . well at least I have the chairs (the chair in that photo are my kitchen chairs). My whole first floor (including the kitchen in my head) are in various shades of gray and taupe with some pops of burgundy (my actual kitchen is avocado green hence I prefer to live in the kitchen in my head). You will have a great space to work in!

I LOVE THOSE CHAIRS...........and you have them............I'm jealous........love grey it's the new neutral LOL.............I'm doing a kitchen right now......actually I'm doing 16 of them, but this one I totally love.........the client said do what you want, I know I will love it.......it's a galley kitchen......She has a 13' island, it's going to be grey.......the "kitchen" side is going to be white with a grey glaze.........the countertop is a quartz called Mountain Mist.......the back splash tile is a geometric pattern with textured white and marble........it's sooooooooooo pretty, can't wait till it's done......and better yet the client loved it when I presented the color board......yahooooo................raven

Re: this will work out AWESOME

Can you hear me sob from there? That countertop is gorgeous, absolutely perfect and now installed in the kitchen in my head . . . I needed something to reconcile the white cabinets with the driftwood floor and that is perfect . . . seriously I have added that sample to my file of when I am able to do something here it would be perfect and I have never seen it before. What a great job you have, I admire creative people. It must be nice to go to work everyday.

I just checked Overstock and unfortunately they don't have those chairs anymore. I stalked them for months and finally pulled the trigger . . . it took me over an hour to get them out of the box as somehow they were nailed to 2x4's but it was worth the effort . . . thanks again for the countertop sample, it is a keeper!

Re: this will work out AWESOME

Wow, that is gorgeous. I have never seen anything like it before. Congratulations on impeccable taste and obviously jobs very well done. No wonder people give you the reigns and say go. And I appreciate the help. I mean it, if I ever get the chance to remodel these are on the list. Have a good evening Raven and many thanks again!

ps, I was leaning toward subway tiles but I didn't want the kitchen to look like a White Castle at 2 o'clock in the morning . . . {#emotions_dlg.lol}

I have made old-vintage looking dresses to sell years ago. I found that coffee worked better than tea. You might give it a try on something small.

I'll give it a try..........but do you think it might get it a little darker then the tea would...........I don't want it dark, just a hint of color.............................raven
