Help...Kitchen Remodel for 100+ year old Stucco House: Backsplash
100+ year old Stucco Home Remodel. Truly love the 'Old World' theme.
Decorating with antiqued angels, Spanish crosses & wrought iron accents…
Biscuit colored cabinets-Hazelnut glaze, black granite countertop, Hammered Copper Hood, Stainless Range and wood floor (wood- has golden undertones)
•Wanting to paint ceiling the AGAVE blue color shown in backsplash sample 2 (2cd from bottom left) with walls painted BUTTER, the lighter shade in backsplash ( samples 1 and 2 bottom left)
•How do I incorporate back-splash, cabinet color with wall color??
•Suggestions on wall color if the Butter color is not liked?
•The stove is stainless & refrigerator stainless... What sink color for Farmers sink?
•The kitchen opens up to a living room with a fireplace: using Umber Rosettas (shown bottom, 3rd photo from the left sample) for the fireplace surround? Any thoughts on backsplash tiles shown in 4th photo bottom left? I would love to use this Umber Rosetta (3rd photo bottom left) for the bathroom walls (my sanctuary). I would think that candlelight would reflect beautifully off the walls lending to a very peaceful environment after a stressful day at work. Ahhhhhh..... :)
My first time to remodel the family home. We are putting our savings into this (so worried I will mess this up)… any constructive assistance will be deeply appreciated… Thank you!

This is a much darker blue than I think you want to go with, but you can see how pretty the combination is: Winding Way Residence.
Good luck with you new +100 year old home! Keep us posted. (And I hope you took before pictures!)
Currently we are at the drywall, mud/tape/texture stage. We went with an 'Old World Skip Trowel texture' to add dimension during those candle light moments and enhance the sunlight as it dances across the wall. This house was falling apart; appraised at $16,000 when we decided to breath new life into it. We are doing most of the work ourselves to save $. Its not easy... its truly a labor of love! :)
Here are some before shots from the outside... I love the old Spanish Arches! You just can't find that anymore...
The inside had 15 tiny, dark rooms that we gutted, removed walls, etc. My husband added arches and a grand hallway so that the rooms could be accessed through a main corridor instead of having to walk through each room to get to the next... Now it is open and airy... :)
Photos of the kitchen as it is now... it will have a corner Thermador Range/hammered copper hood; island... a work in progress...
Thank you again... to each of you who have taken time out of your busy day to inspire and guide us... :)
It is nice to have access to such bright and creative minds during this process... thank you!
If you have not bought the range yet, a black range would look better with the copper hood than stainless steel. I don't mind mixing metals, but stainless is very modern while black is reminscent of the old black cookstoves.
Have a Delightful Thanksgiving to all… :)
