The result almost always brings about a little conflict, but great ideas are seldom born in calm moments. You know?<br /><br />The picture you conjured is a grim one indeed. White thermofoil and white 4x4s are the stuff of my nightmares!Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-86263212158895675202009-09-16T16:38:52.768-04:002009-09-16T16:38:52.768-04:00Hey, congrats for bringing a client out of her com...Hey, congrats for bringing a client out of her comfort zone, and having her learn that IT'S FUN OUT THERE!...(and really quite comfortable)<br /><br />You're doing the job she hired you for. If she wanted basic, she could go to Home Depot and get stark white thermofoil cabinets with white 4"x4" tiles for the backsplash, and it would all match!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291902484378341307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-79639075702544042952009-09-16T14:38:15.234-04:002009-09-16T14:38:15.234-04:00Thanks Kelly, it's just production stuff from ...Thanks Kelly, it's just production stuff from Emenee.

It's pretty cool.<br /><br />Thanks too Laurie. White cabinetry is all the rage again and I see it really poorly handled a lot. People either go all light colors around it or they go immediately to sharp contrast. I say that you need a gentler touch. I'm glad you agree!Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-17393657957716553152009-09-16T11:54:04.712-04:002009-09-16T11:54:04.712-04:00Great layering of colors and textures.

I always promise to keep it anonymous, but a lot of people don't want the attention. I will beg when I go up to do my final inspection tomorrow.
