Leave as is. The gray would not go with your countertops IMO.

What is the brand and color of your gray? The stencil did come out nice

Refreshing that you realized the true culprit was the wall color....the creamy looks lovely with the blue....

It looks nice. I would consider painting your crown moulding and the door in the kitchen that creamy colour as well. It would help with the transition to the white ceiling. I like the rug, but the bright white would also look better IMO if it were more creamy. Maybe time and traffic will take care of that for you naturally or maybe a tea stain?

Ashley, would hubby agree to replace the stove if you were able to sell the current one for a price acceptable to him? Used appliances in working order sell pretty readily on Craigslist...

@Designer Wallcoverings your comment means a lot. Honestly that's how I feel early mornings especially since that window faces south. It makes my cabinets look even creamier. I tell people that it feels like I'm on Martha's Vineyard.
I guess I get shiny object syndrome. Seeing a calmer room was enticing but I need to appreciate the beauty of my kitchen. A few finishing touches and it'll be perfect.

thanks everyone

i'd not worry about your white stove. it's an endless cycle of 'only this is keeping my kitchen from true perfection'. your white one is fine.

and your kitchen is gorgeous.

The more I look at it I think tedbixby is right. I think if you paint grey you need to change out the counters as well or it's just a little too strange looking.

Once again the small backsplash chops up the under cabinet area. How does the grease or spaghetti sauce know to splash no higher than the abbreviated backsplash?

It's a question to be pondered...similar to "how do it know" with the thermos...

A stainless oven would be a great idea.....Jewelry for the kitchen :)

Ashley - another option you might like is to paint the pantry door the same blue as the walls. That would give you just a tad more blue and stop with the clashing white creams - the trim isn't that big a deal. Everyone is keying on the stove but I think before you spend money on something like that, new countertops would be a better outlay. You may be able to find a quartz that was creamy and had some silvery blue grays in it. . . and lose the little splash to do something later with tile.

Thanks so much for all the opinions. I thought about painting the countertops but there are some DIY projects I'm terrified of and @tedbixby, that's one of them. :)

I personally like the countertops (sometimes) but I despise the backsplash thingy.

@leelee Thankfully we don't make much saucy foods :) We eat lots of bulgar and beans :) (some call us vegetarians, I say we just don't eat meat)

Hubs said that if I get as much as the stove or within $100 he would buy a new one. AKA not likely. lol (Praying it dies jk)

@libradesigneye I had to paint a door similar to that (tried painting over the stuff the last owner had) and it was a pain in my backside. I am scared to paint another door again.

@Tems thanks for the visual.... I do think it flows better but I think with the current countertops and cabinets, the blue is better. :) My brother thinks other. He loves the gray more but said "hey I dont have to live with it). lol

@joiz2 and Michael Gainey Signature Designs thanks so much for the compliment... hopefully stainless is in the very near future.

@Marian Seawell I guess it's time to find drapes.... You mean valance or even a fabric roman shade (i think thats what they are called) right?

I would look into the cost of replacing your countertops.

***update****

For those that might be wondering, I gave in and repainted the kitchen and the entire downstairs. The living area was mindful gray by sherwin williams but I went up one shade to repose gray. Thanks for all the input and help.

@Tems a special thanks to you for the visual!

That is very pretty. I know I am late, but I am doing somewhat of the same thing myself.
