Sure Yvonne, I’ll work on that – I ended up losing pictures from two dozen posts from 2009 and I’m having to slowly rebuild them, thanks for the reminder

First off I love your blog and congrats on doing this for 3 years! We just moved into our new house a month ago and so far the only thing I have done is paint over the brass on our fireplace surround so the next thing I really want to do is make a valance for our kitchen window. By any chance can you re-post the pictures of your valance tutorial? Unfortunately they seem to all be missing. It would help me tremendously.

Hi, I just read this today, I have the same butternut cabinets in my kitchen top and bottom with formica corian-type countertops in a very dark brown. Hardware is the bronzy stuff. Walls are BM dark beige. (very gold mustard looking) I am tired of how “yellow” my kitchen is. I want to update. I am thinking of painting cupboards (creamy white) at some point but in the meantime thought it would be easier to paint walls. I keep looking at grays. Ideally the new gray would go great later with the creamy white cupboards. (Decorating in stages.) What gray to choose. Also, my foyer has a wallpaper that is very red/brown, with BM Salmon Stream the closest red. The wallpaper has both black and gold willow trees etched into it– sounds awful maybe but it is very cool and gets lot sof compliments. You can see into the kitchen from the foyer. Floor is tile and variations of whites and yellow-y).

How can I cut some of the yellow? any suggestions? Hope this is not too much to ask.
