I ran across this picture on This Young House yesterday and felt a tiny bit (OK a lot) of excitement as it is so similar to what my kitchen will look like when it is complete:
in my work as a faux finisher i have seen this trend for about 3 years in the wealthier parts of the city and metro area. Ann Sacks and Waterworks inspired i'd think.
its a pretty stunning classic look. while i'd agree its a trend, i dont think it will come to look dated. real materials used in a tradition way + limited color = timeless.
Alright, so Benny is not my real name. It's my nickname. In fact...I am a lady (by gender, not necessarily by attitude). But, it is fun, and makes me feel "tougher" when talking about painting and tiling and smashing things.
I didn't give it to myself. It is a childhood nickname which came from Benjamin Bunny (the cousin of Peter Rabbit).
In fact, Benny is a common nickname for Bernadette. Ever see Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver? Yup, her name was Benny in that.
Anyway. . .

Hi Scenic,
I couldn't agree more!
