That's a shame, let us know if you do have any luck, would love to know if you can have it,

Glass splashback finally in. After many changes of mind eventually settled on Resene "stun" metallic.

Rangehood and LED strip lights under the overheads to be done.

Very nice colour! Is it kind of khaki? I like it a lot.

woodyren · Dec 21, 2012 7:26 pm

It has some bronze, gold and a greenish tinge depending on the light. I was worried it would be too green but it turned out pretty well and goes well with the goldy bronzy flecks in the granite. It has been a long process but the idea of painting a number of colours on the bare wall was well worth the $50 it cost for sample pots and A4 sheets of many shades.

When we first painted this colour our initial reaction was "NOOOOO" but after seeing it a few times it really grew on us.

our glass splashback in the pantry and kitchen will be the starfire dulux harbour blue
http://www.dulux.com.au/search/search-r ... our%20blue
with the essa stone white truffle bench tops and waterfall ends
and for the cabinet doors zincworks
in the island bench back it will be new graphite
there will also be a feature wall in harbour blue in the meals area

Some fabulous splashbacks in this thread. I would love some advice please.
Trying to determine if we should have the splashback continue up the wall behind the rangehood or just run straight all in line with the cupboards - 700mm high (between bench and overhead cupboards.) We have chosen Dulux Mangrove Leaf (Green) - as seen on someone elses splashback (apologies I can't remember whose). This colour is quite bright, so thinking that if it went up behind the rangehood, is it too much. Therefore should we just paint there.

Cupboards - White laminate
Benchtop - Essa Stone Crystal Chalk (similar to Caesar Osprey)
Wall colour - Wattyl Alabaster

This image here is the display home kitchen we are building. We don't have the window and we are not have the slide out range hood with cupboards.
Note that there will also be green splashback on other wall next to pantry door.

This is the image of Mangrove Leaf used in another kitchen.

This image is very similar to how our kitchen will look.

Thanks for your advice - I have to choose by this Friday.

What kind of rangehood are you having?
The painted wall looks ok, as long as it's the same colour as the cupboards.
I think if you take the splashback up, your rangehood will become more of a feature.

Hi Suh

Here are our kitchen colour selections below. Wall colour is Wattyl Alabaster (the whitish paper in the picture with nothing written on it) - cool white, not too far off the colour of the cupboards. NB: silver strip is being used as kick plate.

The Rangehood is Blanco - shown here:

acrebuild111 - are you happy with your splashback all the way behind your rangehood? You have a lovely strong colour.

suh · Feb 05, 2013 3:23 pm

Love the rangehood and if it were me I would glass it all the way up. But, I don't mind that photo where it isn't

but that might be because all the colours are light.

suh · Feb 05, 2013 3:39 pm

This is what I would do, if not glassed all the way up I think one colour across the top looks best

Here are some strong colours that don't look too much at all

Yours is a beautiful green, I don't think it's too bright and with that rangehood against it, it will look amazing

Disclaimer: this is only my opinion
