The kitchen looks awesome! I think that’s our kitchen you mentioned was going to be in the fall/winter issue. We’re so excited, and can’t wait for it to come out!

We got a Kenmore stainless fridge with the freezer on the bottom for exactly the reason Carol mentions: wide things don’t fit in a side-by-side freezer. We love ours (it did take a couple weeks before our kids stopped pulling it open every time they walked by just because they could reach it!), and with the sliding divided baskets in ours, it’s easier to keep things organized. And our kids can get their own ice, but there’s no dispenser for them to spill water and ice all over the floor.

@Lauren

I notice from Lindsay’s comments in the original post that the colour used is Behr Viking. They used Newport Blue in the livingroom and wanted a lighter, complimentary colour.

@Lindsay

Kudos!

A good ol fashion kitchen redo. Love it! Even though her appliances didn’t all match, I think they worked well with her redo.

To chime in on the fridge thing. I have a Kitchen Aid side by side and the only problem is that if you want to put something very wide in the freezer, it won’t fit. Since I like to cook ahead I have to be careful about the size of the casseroles I do to make sure they fit in the freezer section. Personally, I think I would love a bottom freezer fridge but that may just be because I don’t have one (smile).

Being featured on your website is like being on Oprah. So cool for Lindsay and her beautiful kitchen.

Glad someone asked about the BHG website voting as I was about to myself. Hope when they fix it you show a big catch-up/lead!

Sherry,
Do you know what color blue she used in her kitchen? We just moved into our first home and have white cabinets. The previous owners left a dark blue tiling on the backsplash. Do you have any suggestions for what color to paint the walls? (We’re doing neutral walls in the ajoining rooms.)
