Kitchen--I love retro kitchens. Someday I will have my new-but-look-old applicances, like so...
but as I cannot yet justify spending $3,000 on a fridge, they will have to wait. I've always wanted white cabinets, and I think I may finally have Jim talked into them this time, despite how much he loathes them. (I think it helped that I mentioned my REAL desire is to have cabinets painted pale mint or pistachio--he realized that white is the lesser evil.) Here are a couple of my inspiration pics I've found:
I have a serious thing for glass tile backsplashes, but I'm leaning more toward white subway tiles.
We've got some beautiful dark brown/cherry-ish hardwood for the floors, and I love the pale blue walls. I may base the wall color and mood off this mug I just got at Tai Pan
(You can't quite tell from my mad photo skills, but it's square and awesome. It even managed to knock my green mini-tea cups off the "favorite cocoa mug" pedestal.)
Main bath--I must be on a blue kick, because I'm thinking of the same color scheme for the main bath.
Inspirations:
I'm trying to talk Jim into those fabulous mini-hex subway tiles for the floor (minus the black flowers in the pattern), but may end up going with the rectangles. Here's the faucet:
Master Bedroom--Here was our biggest struggle. My first idea was muted purples and grays, but at the mention of "purple" Jim got a freaked-out look in his eye. (Are you getting the idea yet that we have completely different decorating tastes?) So instead I got this quilt at Target
(just the quilt, not the silver bedding) and will accent with various shades of teal and green to match the desk I already have
(doesn't it look stunning with the patterned pink wallpaper in our rental?)
I just don't know what color to do the walls. Something light and neutral from the brown family or a really light shade of the teal? Opinions/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also, I'm fresh out of ideas for the master bath. The only thing picked out so far is the faucet and hardware:
If anyone would like to post inspiration for me, I'll be eternally grateful. I think I need to pick paint and tile this week.
Really, any comments/suggestions/critques would be vastly appreciated!
