KITCHEN IDEAS-kitchen paint color?
My whole house is this grey green. Because we live in Seattle and it is dark and rainy most of the year it can be gloomy. I am thinking of painting my kitchen and nook and hallways a lt. soft creamy yellow with a hint of orange. I was considering BM antique lace 922,devon cream or cookie dough 916. My thought was to get a lt.warm color that blends with the cabinets. I like an old world shabby vintage look.The kitchen and nook face SE and are open to the family room. Do you think that color would look nice in my kitchen? Any ideas for specific colors? I also would love a color idea for the family room. Something a bit warmer and bit darker as it has very high ceilings and faces east. The family room has a rock faced fireplace with lt. cool browns and the carpet is a soft cool taupe-beige. The wall of windows are wrapped in heavy white trim. I currently have lots of dark furniture (lt.taupe brown leather couch, dark wood piano ect. I am hoping to change the furniture eventually to med or lighter shades. Thank you! Juliet
(the picture is when is from our first viewing.. those are the former owners things on the counters) My taste is a bit more classic vintage.

One thing I always do prior to painting is narrow my choices as you have done with the kitchen area and bring home at least two swatches of each color. I place them in different areas of the room to be painted and view at different times of the day to see how the light and shadow effect the color. For the living room area a warm orange or dark gold might work. The shades would work with either the dark furniture or lighter.
I LOVE yellow rooms – they look bright, sunny and inviting and nice warm yellow with a paler yellow or even a cream or white trim will definately warm up your little house
I browsed BM paints using your color choices (very nice by the way!!) I like all three of your color choices, I think depending o the lighting of your kitchen the Cookie Dough would be very warm and inviting without weighing the room down, my second choice would be Devon cream, still soft yet warm, the Antique lace is very pretty but such a delicate color could get lost against everything going on in a kitchen and could end up just looking white, but again, lighting and cabinet color play a big role in your choice. I used all three colors as a backdrop to check out other color choices for your family room- Boardwalk 1102 would go well with all three colors, warm and inviting, dark enough to add mood to the room but not over powering. If you choose Antique Lace then Butternut Squash 1090 may also be a color you would want to consider for your family room, it brings out the warmer yellow undertone of the lighter color without being overpowering.
orange makes people hungry which is good!
so maybee a light orange wud do!
hve fun!,
