my DH is updating my mother's kitchen walls. He's removing her 20 year old wallpaper & will be painting it instead. Now, my 80 year old dear mum won't have anything other than 'driftwood or off white' - her words.I think those are the only 2 colours she knows However, she just doesn't realise just how many shades there are out there & I certainly won't be taking her to a paint store to choose Can you just imagine how long it would take, not to mention where both our blood pressure levels would be ? Anyhoo........I've talked her out of the 'driftwood' but could you please suggest 2 or 3 DULUX off-white/beige/ivory colours. I'll then get the A4 brushouts for her to take a look at. Cupboards - white Benchtop - terrazzo looking laminate in white & very light grey Floor tiles - black & white diamonds. Kitchen gets a fair bit of light Is that any help ? Thanks Mish in advance Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Kitchen Wall Colour 2Jan 09, 2009 7:22 pm Southies, just going to stick a tape in to tape a movie….I’ll be right with you!

Food for thought anyway...good luck Re: Kitchen Wall Colour 5Jan 09, 2009 7:43 pm Duplex….love it. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Kitchen Wall Colour 6Jan 09, 2009 8:03 pm Southies….I think mum might like Antique White USA.
But I can’t get the link on the Dulux site! Whisper White also not on their site. Chine White Hog Bristle quarter Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Still looking!

just letting you know, DM went with China White. DH is over there right now painting her kitchen - hope she's got her AC on She loved it as soon as she saw it ! Hope she's still happy with it after it's up on the wall She has a habit of changing her mind She wanted me to pass on her thanks for the colour suggestions !
