I'm in the finishing stages of my kitchen and need a little help. I intentionally kept everything pretty neutral and figured that I'd add color with items that could be changed easily such as paint, window coverings, accessories, etc.

However, I'm a beige girl at heart. Any ideas on colors? I'm also painting the living/dining room and foyer which are the two doors in the kitchen. I want color but at the same time I'm afraid of color.

I thinking that I will probably do a arabesque backsplash rather than the one in the photo. I've only seen the arabesque backsplash in photos on the forum. I'm open to ideas. Any suggestions?

Very nice, I'm a novice with backsplashes so I'll be reading this post to learn what people suggest. Please tell me where you got your chairs, I really like them.

I got the chairs from TJMaxx. They didn't have labels on them. I'm hoping I'll come across a few more.

Great find, thank you! I may need to start hunting around in TJ Maxx. In our area we have TJ Maxx and another store called Home Goods, also owned by TJX. So if you have Home Goods in your area you may wish to look in both stores - many times they carry the same items.

Thanks again.
