My furnishings are all dark brown (lounges/tv unit/coffee table/dining table chairs (glass top/silver legs on table) and thought a turquoise could look nice for accessories - paintings/cushions/etc.. I'm not the biggest fan of the pale blue coloured splashbacks - I'd go more of a silvery/creamy splash if I was going pale. Where are the subway tiles from?? They're cute - but i don't know if I want tiles (even though my bank balance would def thank me for it haha) Re: Show me your kitchen... 1628Aug 20, 2011 10:15 am renofun No - the bricks are all gone (that was the orig pick before i demo'd it completely) - it's all opened up now Colours in living/dining/etc will be predominantly white - which is why I thought to go the deep turquoise..

It is not a hard colour to live with or match to. http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af187/Kaytee50/Williams%20Landing/IMG_8839.jpg More pics on my thread.

We stuck to a neutral tone and will accessorize with color instead - I wasn't game enough to do a color. Our splashback went in a couple weeks ago. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa468/MazzerKony/Snapbucket/IMG_0462.jpg Details are here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=13838&p=752254#p752254 Cheers Horaldo. Re: Show me your kitchen... 1636Aug 22, 2011 1:26 pm Stunning kitchen Horaldo, mine is a similar layout but I wish I had gone for no handles on the top cupboards like yours.
