Wish i found this Q &A before. So many beautiful people advising and sharing here! I am Repainting Tropical Queenslander with dark red and orangy timber floors and this thread is so helpful. I painted Whisper white and it is throwing so much Green it makes me so sad I am going to repaint. I get loads of tropical sun in the north facing - with eastern morning sunlight. Was just about to go and buy Natural White just to cover it. Do you think it will be too dull/warm a colour. I do like a fresh feel and contrasting with vivid white decorative trims. The whisper white looks nice For a while in the morning while the morning sunlight throws read up onto it but then it returns to a green

I have a Matt black anti fingerprint kitchen and I love it! It is so easy to clean. And always looks smooth and velvety. I just wipe it with a sponge and it’s clean. I have not looked back!

If you look at the extra photo's @Kate , you'll see that it is very narrow , that the 'breakfast bar' part comes 600 or so over the window or sliding door , you realise it is more about looks than practicality . Like you though , I can't work out the cupboards on the other side . Similarly , I can't work out where the purple or mauve 'bit' is -- the before picture doesn't seem to have any brickwork like that . Just on a 'sale' theme too -- I would suspect that colour would be fairly polarising , whereas a charcoal or similar would be a lot more universally appealling if selling ? On a positive note , I think this would have to be the first ever 'before' picture posted on Houzz that has the light on , and the bench wasn't completely buried under 60cm of old cookbooks and newspapers and tea-towels !
