Kitchenless

I approved plans for new kitchen cabinets last Wednesday. Today (Monday) the kitchen is gone - everything from the tiles, cabinets, appliances, and yes, the kitchen sink.

Of greater interest, over the weekend I hired a designer to help pick out colors. Collette Whitney of Whitney Interiors came to chat and over a two-hour discussion we picked out my "palette".

The colors are hard to describe and I'll try to figure out some way to show you some sort of mock up....they're all Benjamin Moore and the names are

• main color - Nantucket Gray (HC-111) - more of a greenish-grey
• secondary color - Georgian Brick (HC-50) - a dull red
• hi-lite color - Dorset Gold (HC-8) - for misc areas
• ceiling - Pale Almond (OC-2)
• office walls - Van Cortland Blue (HC-145) - a grey-blue

Collette was great. I hope my choice of a modern cherry cabinet won't upset her!
