Wow, that aqua blue one looks so pretty with the wood bar. :D I think I might have my accent color. (It's the one form BH&G)....<br /><br />xo,<br />RJRicki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-507367247047893402013-01-11T17:24:08.417-05:002013-01-11T17:24:08.417-05:00We painted our island a gray green...and the rest ...We painted our island a gray green...and the rest is white...pretty safe.

If your kitchen is small it seems to make it feel bigger when the island is painted the same as the cupboards. I don't mind the effect given by a colourful island but it has to be in a larger room for me. BTW, loving this little series of yours.Donna@anangloinquébechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074337849133414753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-54902450370291747562013-01-11T08:40:44.644-05:002013-01-11T08:40:44.644-05:00The English do a lot of colorful kitchens and my A...The English do a lot of colorful kitchens and my Aunt even did a pink one like the one you showed. It made it into a magazine in the UK. I think though you need good architectural bones to do a bright kitchen. Picture one in a typical suburban 80's build...not so much. Great kitchens. I have a dark kitchen in Florida which is the norm there, something I find odd given the warm climate but everyone seems to have a dark wood kitchen.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-22916745133706583262013-01-11T06:18:28.563-05:002013-01-11T06:18:28.563-05:00I think I love the BHG the best, however I do love...I think I love the BHG the best, however I do love me Blues and Yellows so this could be the reasoning behind my choices *smile*Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-85448363534675071962013-01-10T22:09:29.315-05:002013-01-10T22:09:29.315-05:00Though I chose a white island for my all white kit...Though I chose a white island for my all white kitchen, I think the next time around I will go for color on my island!

I like the contrast and I think it looks great. Our appliances are also black.
