Awesome!!!

Oh, Schoolhouse...it's beautiful! How wonderful to realize your dreams...and finally get the kitchen you've always wanted :)

As always, I love your stove. I'm so excited for you and look forward to seeing more pictures, after you paint!

I am psyched for you!
Have you seen aokat's beadboard ceilings? They were done with a white semi gloss (I believe) and is simply stunning. I can't remember if that was posted here or the home decorating forum.

I will be watching for your final reveal. What color/s are you thinking for it all?

I don't remember whose kitchen it was, but I saved his/her photos (sorry if I was wrong to snitch them!). This person had a big kitchen with white beadboard on walls and ceiling with a schoolhouse type light fixture only it had a green base with white globe. There were vintage cupboards, green like mine, and you could see through to a dining room or sun porch I believe. Anyhow, their photos confirmed what I hoped BB on both walls and ceiling would look like, and I should them to my contractor.

My walls and all trim including crown molding and baseboard will be creamy white/nearly yellow, ceilings a very pale blue.

I bought my light fixture six or seven years ago with my SO when he was still living. It's a florescent light, something I did not want, but Mike convinced me it could be changed out to incandescent; so I bought it(?). When electrician asked to see the light I explained the situation and together we looked at it and in the box was the bulb. Turns out it is a yellow florescent, that is, gives off light similar to incandescent. BUT, I wanted a dimmer light switch installed which he did earlier. He looked at me and said, "Well, you do know you can't dim a florescent". Duh...no, it never crossed my mind. After thinking about it overnight I decided to switch out the bulb so that the lamp can be dimmed. We shall see.
