For the paint, I had always been thinking of green. Especially once I saw the old paint color-- I really wanted to replicate that color.
But now that we have the appliances and counters installed, K had me look at a blue paint that she had leftover from a project. And this blue paint looks really nice with all of it. I've also compared this blue paint and green paint chips to the dishes we'll be using, and I think the blue will be the better way to go.
I've been collecting Fire King Jadeite dishes for years. I have a lot of bowls and platters that I love, which were packed away during the years that we were renting. I have a few pieces of their Azurite, too. Once the kitchen is done, I will get those all out of storage and use them again.
And a few years ago, I bought a huge lot of the dishware I've always wanted-- the Blue Heaven pattern from Royal China. The blue paint will look so good with this pattern.
