See?
Looks like I’m going to have to figure this out. That color isn’t working with the counter top.
Oh, and by the way? It’s Sherwin Williams “6073 Perfect Greige.”
I just found that they have a nifty site where you can upload your pictures and then apply color to areas you mask off. In this case, greige.
Back to the coloring board.




That is a nifty tool! And I think you’re right about the greige in the kitchen–sort of looks like dingy white. If you put in a backsplash of some kind, you could avoid the greige coming up against the countertops. I know paint’s the cheapest way to go, but if you don’t have too much counterspace you could probably find some affordable options.
Totally agree with Sarah … that color looks dingy. Good call, Andrea! And I LOVE the idea of a backsplash (that’s one thing I wish I had in my kitchen!) … but that might not be a cost that you want to incur for a rental home. Actually, it might not be allowed since it’s a rental home. But definitely something you can think of for the future!
@Sarah – Oh how I wish we could pull of a backsplash, but alas, we have neither cash nor ability since we rent. I haven’t approached the idea with my landlady, so there’s the possibility she’d go for it since it would improve the property, but that still leaves the pesky problem of finances.
@Amy M – Yep. You nailed it! Oh well, maybe next time!
