<p>I can always count on CC!</p>
<p>Phone call from D1 today (we are co-purchasing a new construction condo with her and are signing the sale and purchase agreement this week, with a closing date of late July): “Mom, I have to pick out my paint colors this week. My countertop will be black granite and the cabinets are a sort of glossy cream color.” I can imagine what she would have said if I told her there was a whole thread on CC about this exact topic!</p>
<p>So, in addition to this, she will have glossy oak floors and stainless steel appliances. There will also be crown molding, which always helps to frame a color and help it pop. </p>
<p>I actually have to meet with the designer at our local paint store this week to pick out a new color for my bathroom, so I offered to run these specifics past her, but does anyone on here have any suggestions? She wants something that will be relatively neutral, and the kitchen is not separated from the living area, so what goes on the walls in the kitchen goes in the living area, too. The living area has lots of daylight coming in for a room its size. And the new couch she’s looking at and leaning toward is charcoal.</p>
