house update: kitchen paint + backsplash


we have been testing some colors for the kitchen/breakfast room/great room, and have
narrowed it down to a few colors:
i think we have a winner:
benjamin moore's adagio: 1593.
it's fast becoming my FAVORITE blue. it has a tinge of grey in it, but is a very soothing, muted blue that
looks great with lots of other colors. i used this same color for an office that i worked on this spring, and the clients LOVED it.
it's going to look great with the glass tile we have selected for the backsplash. my client wanted a soft blue in the kitchen/great room. i felt the room could handle the depth of "adagio" because their are actually NO walls in that very large area that are not broken up with windows, cabinetry or built-ins. plus, the room gets a LOT of natural light. 
it's so fun to show up on the job site every few weeks and see all the progress being made. i can't wait until i get to build a house again! but truthfully, it's just as much fun being "just" the designer on the job!
