Design Dilemma

Idea for "mural" behind range.

10 years ago

I have just painted my kitchen cabinets white after 15 years. Once I saw them with my new red valances, I knew I wanted to incorporate a French blue which I did with Benjamin Moor Lucerne on these Made in Poland Bistro chairs. Now I want a graphic idea that I can reproduce over the range where I had previously faux painted and stenciled. I'm thinking a riderless bike ala France.Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Personally, I'm not a fan of murals. Your kitchen is very interesting but it has so much going on that a mural just adds to the busy feel. What about a piece of thin copper that you could do a relief drawing on? That would be just one color but you could still do a bike or French scene.
