I need a little guidence, I am renovating a Katrina damaged home,. It is taking a long time and I want everything perfect, or as much as it can be.
I have a townehome,, living room, and kitchen run together,, maple cabinets with a mocha stain, so the cabinets are basically almond with a little color, I am using teak, hand scraped floors throughout, not much light, just a large set of french doors leading to patio, and a small garden window in kitchen, I was thinking black galaxy granite, little spec of bronze, its beautiful, and oil rubbed chandliers and faucets. Soooo,,, what color do I paint,,, or should I change something> please help

Denise,
I enjoy your posts a lot. I’m a contractor by trade but love working with color and theme. Your guidelines for Tuscan Kitchen look like the Tuscan kitchen i did for my rental house.
I think I hit about 90% of your suggestions. I’m doing another rental unit now for young (20 something) urban professionals. Theme is based on Gotham City (yes Batman’s home town) with steel beams, narrow maple strip flooring, deco/industrial lighting, black appliances, decorative glass. I’m wondering if you have suggestions for wall colors and countertop material. You can see pix (Tuscan kitchen) at my web site if you wish. Thanks so much.
