    That is funny!

    In our NJ house, when we moved in in 1985 it was already on its way to becoming a vintage Brady Bunch house. There were shag wall-to-wall carpets. Metallic floral wallpaper. Dark brown cabinets and avocado tiled floor. Harvest gold appliances.

    The room I designated for the boys' room was covered in a big daisy floral print wallpaper. We tried to remove it, and it was literally like trying to peel a sheet of paper apart into two sheets. We tried steaming, scraping, you name it. I finally papered over it with a textured wallpaper and it remains to this day.

    IL, it must have been fun living in a brothel/planetarium!

    DH is such a busy guy! He Just finished the marble backsplash in my condo, and then he went to Hermann this week to install kitchen cabinets in our Hermann house.

    Here is a picture of progress so far:

    You are probably seeing the true color which is called “celery,” a light green. The countertops will be black granite with soft white streaks running through it. The stove will be red
    , and I will have red small appliances and the cabinet handles/knobs will be black and red.

    Celery (or any light-to-sagey green) and red is one of my favorite color combinations!! And the black countertops will set it off so nicely!

    Neat timeless colour of cabinets. This time I am seeing the celery colour.

    Oh good! i’m glad you think it is timeless. I am shooting for a timeless, cottage look.

    The backsplash I am planning is a soft green that varies from tile to tile because it is marble. It has a lovely natural look.

    I think it is so cool you went with color, and absolutely great color.

    That's really nice! I'm having a hard time picturing a black countertop, so am looking forward to seeing pics.

    That celery and black combination is one I often imagine in my kitchen design pipe dreams. Good choice!
