Well I hope this is the last time I move. I'm getting old enough each move is harder. This time is for me not for resale. Fyi it depends on the movers when the stuff will be moved in. I dont want to pay storage on all my stuff while they paint and I stay in a hotel. If the movers will take a long time getting there then I have time to play with. I'll follow in my car with valuables and some breakables. It may not just be a matter of paying for a hotel once the movers arrive. And the painter has other jobs, may not be at my beck and call. Let me add the painter wants 2 to 3 weeks to do this job. It's also deep cleaning, 2 lights and carpet. I think the furniture will arrive before that time frame if I wait. So I'm doing it now. Jane, first wishing you all the best tomorrow. I agree with others on colour, stick to grey, I would choose Fleur de sel also. I also echo @MJSailors for suggestion of changing doors of cabinets if the cabinets are solid and straight and in good shape inside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromSea2ShiningSea Posted March 17 #117377 Share Posted March 17 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What luck! Fans who visit Krispy Kreme Donuts dressed in green this weekend can get a FREE green O’riginal Glazed Donut. Even the inside is green. This green looks a lot like Wicked (from the Broadway Musical) to me. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then my whole house is Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray…it has grown on me! 1 hour ago, Vibe said: I third that👍🏼 Looks close to the Agreeable Gray that Helen used, which is the trending color now. As you continue to update your condo that color will fit in well. We have Agreeable Grey in our house. Our painter said it's very popular. I understand the desire to paint before moving in, but painters are used to painting rooms that are filled with furniture. You'll usually only have a room out of commission for a day (or 2 at most). I'm not a big color person but Micheline very much is. She'll get a sample quart of 3 or 4 colors and paint sections of walls. You can then see how these different colors look in different lighting conditions. Your room will like weird for a week or so but if color is important, you'll end up with something that you like. If color isn't important, pick something and move on. If your painter doesn't want to pick, take a few pictures to your local Sherwin Williams store and ask them. Or, find a different painter who is more into design. Our's very much is and had a lot of good conversations with Micheline about options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted March 17 #117385 Share Posted March 17 On the subject of painting-a number of years ago, I had a small room we use for an office painted red with white trim. I like red. A month ago, I had a painter come by to give me an estimate for painting the room. He looked it over and asked what color I wanted to paint the room. He had a querulous look on his face. I replied-red, of course! He was so relieved! One coat of Benjamin Moore Dutch Tulip will be fine! If we ever put the house up for sale, I suppose we will have to paint the room white, grey or beige-whatever neutral is in style. For now, I am pleased with the red!

StanleyandGus Posted March 17 #117386 Share Posted March 17 @firefly333 I would go with Fleur de Sel or Ice Cube. As many others have said, refacing the cabinets makes sense. Good luck on your surgery! Remember not to lift! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure anyone can hire someone to change out countertops etc but I dont have a artistic flair. My painter wants a color of "white" so he can go in this week and paint. I cant make up my mind. Yesterday I wanted heron plume, today I'm back to alabaster. This shows the color of the cabinets and the granite countertop. My real estate agent and this guy are both pushing for new cabinets. For sure new appliances so ignore appliance color. If I get rid of cabinets, I'd lose the granite countertop. Right now I need a paint color. One thing at a time. . .. anyone have a preference? Are you picking a paint color for the cabinets or the walls? If painting the cabinets for now, I like Ice Cube or your Heron Plume, something with a light grey would go well with the countertop. I understand not wanting to lose the countertop but would strongly consider replacing those '80's style cabinets in the near future. Maybe they can reface them or salvage the countertop if able to remove it without damaging it. Edited March 17 by Sunshine3601 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend watching this. I had no idea he is also a very famous painter and sculptor. The story of how he gave his own song “Close to You” to the Carpenter’s is very interesting. I also learned what an amazing great human being he was. Go check it out. In 2005 Herb Alpert and my cousin Marilyn Michaels appeared together in a concert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a artistic bone in me color wise. I've always thought for a kitchen especially bight and airy is the goal. I never thought about a darker color on the walls. I asked sherwin William's for grey and agreeable grey doesnt even come up, had to ask specifically for that color. Their site shows it in various rooms including the kitchen. I'm thinking but not sure. Im not picky about color. They may have painted it for showing it, the whole condo seems to be in good shape. My painter calls it hospital white. So he too is suggesting not too white. For those who dont know agreeable grey it's almost a brown. Would go with a lot of colors. Looks lighter to me on the 2nd screen shot. I also like crashed ice on panel 2 and panel 3 drift of mist. Immdriving myself nuts. I dont want to go too dark either, especially for a kitchen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
