Perhaps reupholster them with something with some green in it to bring out the color on your walls? Wanna hear something really crazy? You could always paint your island black, too. It's just my two cents, but imagine what it would do....Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752518090916001127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-14214940921572916852010-02-11T22:25:09.392-05:002010-02-11T22:25:09.392-05:00Yes, your kitchen is gorgeous!

The one from your valance.<br />I see that you have quite a few black items in your kitchen and they look nice, but they don't "pop" out at you. <br />If you would add a few red accessories it would make your kitchen say WOW! Eg: on the island, in one of your glass cupboards, and then your stools.<br />I love your honesty in your blog, so I hope you don't mind mine.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845084552845073429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-11472877015349024962010-02-11T15:16:43.641-05:002010-02-11T15:16:43.641-05:00Painting them black would be great!
