I don't know. I've got a white farmhouse type kitchen, so I'm probably not that much help. I would steer away from the blue though. Saw a show house kitchen like that--but dark cabinets & countertops, grey & white tile and then blue walls. Not very appetizing. Maybe start with white and see how you like it? [ Reply | More ]

op:thanks. Blue wasn't an option but someone on youbemom had suggested lime green for the walls (keeping the rest) which had me reconsidering color! I certainly don't want a "grim" kitchen but love a minimalist look ... [ Reply | More ]

I seriously do and the thing that worked the best for me by far was a prescription from my dermatologist for Solodyn. The products don't matter much. Some work for a short period of time but I find the acne always recurs at some point. If you're not going to have any more kids you should also look into accutane. [ Reply | More ]
