This our Kitchen and breakfast counter design.We are confused with color for the kitchen and the breakfast counter .Since the light is less for my kitchen I was thinking of going for lighter shades of blue/green/purple with gloss finish cabinets .Please suggest color schemes for the entire range .It would be really helpful if you could give some sample photos of your ideas. PS:-If you have anyideas for the breakfast counter too , feel free to share.

What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.

I prefer shades of brown ..blends well with all colors.

I found a bunch of stuff last year while dismantling my bed and cleaning under it. There was stationery, old socks, a kitchen cloth, earrings and chew toys ... all hidden there by my dog (he being tiny could access its deepest sections). He was quite disappointed that I found his stash -- I on the other hand was quite amused and happy.
