My ideas for the hutch are to paint it black, replace the hardware with brushed nickel, and do the back splash (? not sure what to call it) a different color. You know, the background... does that make sense? Also, I'd like to open it up by completely removing the upper cabinet doors so the top part is just open shelving. Maybe the background could be done with an awesome wallpaper. Thoughts? Would black be too dark? Ideally I would do white but our walls are white. I could get approval to paint the walls but with how much we move with the military, I'd rather have furniture/decor that goes with white walls. We'll go paint crazy when we settle down in the future =]
And for the table, black seems like the best option right?
Hope you can help! =]
Maybe a local community college? I remember when my mom was pregnant with either Mike or Sissie, she took a upholstery(?) class, and rehubholstered every piece of furniture in the house with 8 months pregnant. Which probably explains why several years later, they had to chop the couch into pieces to get it out the door. Glen has taught some woodworking classes at a community college in the past. It is too bad he's too far away to show you stuff (Taylor was never interested). He doesn't think painting it black is a good idea, because he says you could never change the color again.
ReplyDeleteWhat about wallpaper in the 'splashback'??
