Only HGTV could promote a room as totally hideous as this! Am I the only one who notices that the HGTV Emperor has no taste? Look at this photo in an email newsletter they sent me, it was the Feature Article!First of all, those painted cabinets - what were they thinking? Next, the tiled back splash with the lovely white electric outlet cover design element. For crying out loud! If, and I do mean if, you have to keep cheap electric outlet plates (and they don't so there's no excuse here...) then make them part of the design element! Blue tiles set on point with crappy white rectangular electric plate covers - it doesn't work. Poor Mr. Blackwell. Must be rolling in his grave. He wouldn't ask for a glass of water in this kitchen.
What did they do right? The island has an interesting design. I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember 1970's Avacado Green so that countertop makes me want to puke, but view the photo in black and white to get past that and the design has potential.
Thanks HGTV for cracking me up!

I, too, remember 1970's avacado green so your comments made me laugh. However, my wedding colors in 1968 were the prettiest ice blue with a touch of avacado green velvet ribbon and tulle and it was just plain really pretty! Thanks to my mom who made my dress (white) and all the bridemaids dresses in ice blue. The color that gags me from that era is orange. There's lots of orange everywhere I go now and I get no inspiration from it. Enjoyed reading a few posts here and will come back to read more but have an appointment to get to.
