Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Sep 08, 2009 5:01 pm We're well underway here with our renovation and we're going to be having dark stained floorboards (with a matte finish) in the kitchen, dining & family rooms and I'm going to have Wattyl Donkey on the walls and Dulux Chalk U.S.A for the trims. I'm trying to achieve a Classic American look to our home... Our kitchen is antique white vinyl wrap (with a cherry wood laminate benchtop which 5 years later I regret but they have to stay for the moment) and I'm needing a colour that will compliment the dark wooden floors and the Wattyl Donkey on the walls of the family & dining areas. I need to replace tiles on the splashback in the kitchen as well as paint a couple of small areas in the kitchen... would I be best to keep going with the Donkey colour or go for something lighter for the kitchen area, keeping in mind that it's not totally closed off from the dining/lounge areas? Hope I'm making sense! Re: Kitchen colour to compliment Wattyl Donkey 2Sep 12, 2009 12:44 pm Hi MD, We have a 'Donkey' feature wall in our formal lounge room. The rest of our walls are Wattyl Kid Leather with Wattyl Chalkdust skirts. I think they compliment each other really well and it took me a while to select the feature wall colour.

The joiner has come back with a quote of close to 5k. I think we are going to not do it. Attaching panelling is something they are dead… 11 10123 The gap can be adjusted so it's tighter. You can definitely set up corner cabinets to have the same gap as standard doors. 2 8594 |
