I need help in finishing my kitchen!! Please!!

I started a re-do on my kitchen last spring and just can't seem to finish . I got new granite(snowfall) and new backsplash and changed the paint from deep wine red to green. Now I don't know what to do . I am also enclosing a picture of my living room so you can see my color palette in the house. (reds, yellows, and greens) The last picture is a more accurate depiction of the kitchen color. It was taken before I decorated walls and got new white chairs(that need to be re-upholstered)

I need help with window treatment, lighting over table and sink and upholstery for the chairs.










Thank you for your help.

    You’re right Amanda, vertical would be best there! Darn, sure liked all the little farm animals lol. Something to gaze and see some cute details.

    Julie- I like the bottom right ones. Were they from Ballards.?I posted them a long time ago when I bought the botanicals for over the console. I feel they would be too repetitive if I put in bathroom too.


    I like the other blue flowers from Kirklands also.


    Did you look at other pictures I posted too?


    What I am wondering is ? Where should I hang the pictures? Over the toilet or above tall rack?

    If your bathroom has a vent fan in the ceiling for this humidity and steam the van goghart would be just fine in there otherwise buy something else cheap maybe just one picture that's big enough then a whole bunch of little ones I don't know

    Amazon..I like the eucalyptus for the bathroom..simple and pulls all the colors together…like the black frames…I would put them stacked over the toliet area so you can see the color when looking intomthe bathroom..add a couple black or gold towel/robe hooks on wall next to shower…green rug green towels.

    Julie- Just have to double check :) You don't think it matters that I have botanicals in next room. I really like the eucalyptus but worry about duplication. They are only 11 inches wide. Seems to skinny to stack?

    Could I still get the flowers from kirklands over the towels to get more blue and something to look at when sitting? :)

    Julie- I think you are maybe right that they would work stacked above. I like the idea of a towel by the shower - if nothing else, some color.

    The kirkland pictures are too tall. They would actually be 2 inches taller. My poster board was only 28 inches and the pics are 30 inches. would jumping hares work there. Too different?

    The stacked art size works perfect over the tank..yes a hook next to shower with one green towel hanging or a cute guest robe….really no need for anything over towel bar..wait and see how it looks and you can always add something later.

    I would put something other than botanicals in the bathroom. You have so many alrady upstairs and down. How does that Kirkland blue floral fit over the toilet?

    The blue hydrangeas would be very pretty in my opinion.

    I have 2 stacked pictures over one of our toilets, and I really like them there rather than separated pictures. Other bathrooms just have one picture, and they are over the toilets. I guess I worry about people knocking the pictures if they are hanging up their towels. Hhmmmm… hadn’t really thought about it before, but I do have small bathrooms.

    Good Morning! Well, I ordered the eucalyptus pictures from Amazon and.... I ordered the long stemmed hydrangea pictures that I found in a different size. They are 10x24 with black frames. I am hoping they will work and add a bit of blue in the room. We will see. I have to wait 5 days.

    I am also waiting for the gold sconces from Home Depot to arrive. I am going to pick up a gold mirror at Kirklands today. Now I just need a towel hook by the shower?

    Julie- question about the mirror. The sink is 26 inches wide and the present mirror above the sink is 20 x 28. The gold arched mirror is 24 x 36. The original one at HD was 24x36. So is the one at Kirklands. I did find one at Home Depot that is 20 x 30. Which size should I get? Thank you!!

    Parker, would you have enough room between the scones for 24”? I know you are getting new scones so that may not be an issue!

    Parker, I had mentioned the towel hook, could add interest but I’m now realizing for a lovely hand towel, it’s really not beside the sink 😕

    The distance between the sconce to the wall is 1 1/2 and from sconce to mirror is 1 1/2 inches. The mirror at this point is 19 inches. I think I need a 20 inch mirror instead of 24!


    I tried the Pink Stuff on the caulking in the shower- no luck- but no worries because they will be removing all the caulking June 10. :)

    I tried some on the gold part of door and I think it will help. I got a lot of gunk off but I am going to work on it when they take it off next month. It will be easier to work on then.

    Agree… that should be a small hand towel holder or a bar just to the left of the sink. Then your shower towels on the rack opposite the toilet.

    Hey Parker here are three that are the proper width but a bit longer…you need more length..one has a shelf on it might be cute.

    Thanks Julie!

    I ordered the arched one this afternoon from Home Depot before I got your message. It is 20 x 30. Isn't the new one you posted 20x30 also? I can easily return the arch. You know me!


    Are you feeling the rectangular would be better? Did you know it was beaded all around?



  • cam_natale

    I think the arched mirror would be nice, the curve of the sink with the curve of the mirror. Nice!

    Pillow. Now I feel like I should have something cute behind the stripes. The off-white seems boring🥴

  • liasch

    I agree the off-white doesn’t quite work with the striped pillow. The striped pillow is really cute. I feel like it needs a little bit more contrast there but I think it could be simple. What about a dark green velveteen? The same kind of green that you have in the sofa. I saw a pillow on Amazon recently that I liked. It was embroidered vines all around the corners. In dark green. i’ll see if I can find it.

  • liasch

    It’s stitched embroidery. I’m not quite sure why the off-white doesn’t work.

    The green seems a bit intense but it seems maybe an embroidered green pillow? This one is too big but gives us the idea. What else can I try. Embroidered red?

    Of course this pillow won't work- the rose doesn't even show- but it gives us the idea of a white pillow with some red .

    I just found this set of four pillows. Would the "gather" work? The bottom part of pillow would be covered by the striped pillow. I could use some of the others on our outdoor bench.

    Parker, I think the cream pillow & striped one are just fine. Not boring at all…subtle color & simple contrast.
    Works for me.
