Kitchens:
I love these colors! Rich wood, muted powder teal. bit of brass. Love it. I want to replace our old laminate counters with a gorgeous wood like this sometime. I love the sheep painting over the fireplace! Perfect! I love a fireplace in a kitchen, but that is never going to happen here in our little house where Lord willing we are staying (though, when built, there was a wood cook stove in the kitchen; the chimney thimble is behind our fridge).
A pleasing kitchen seating area:
Pantries:
I just LOVE this pantry. Hopefully they have a lot of other space becasue this is not a lot of storage. Lots of "nice-to-look-at", though. Wallpaper, those two sweet shelves. Love the wall paper. The period overhead light. The cranberry glass that goes with the wallpaper and the paint that blends with the wallpaper.
This high-gloss blue in the pantry and kitchen below must be either Fine Paints of Europe (FPE)or the English Farrow & Ball, both high quality enamel paints. I love these high-shine rooms, though I haven't got a space designated for it in our house, I keep admiring these deep-colored high gloss rooms... if I had a pantry, maybe for that. But we don't. (Actually we do have a sort-of pantry - shelves my husband built into our steep, narrow cellar stairs that come off the kitchen. We painted them FPE cream, and put spotlights on it, because that is more practical for the open shelving that we crammed into every inch of the space.)
a nice shade of green:
