AGAS....again ....What colour is yours?

[NotanOtter]

obsessing slightly

my heart says red

my head says pewter

What did you plump for?

go with the red, u lucky girl.its an AGA

can you get pink ? not that my kitchen is big enough for an Aga, nor can I afford one, but I did house sit for people who had one and it was fab..(was cream I think)

Oh dear. If you are forking out on a brand new AGA you really DO want to be happy with it. Take your time and choose the colour you are happy with.
As with all things - they shouldn't really give you a choice. I have had similar quandries to this and recently discovered that it was far easier for someone more assured than me (ie friend whose taste you admire) to tell me what to do.
I know.....pathetic!!

I can't tell you what colour to have any more than the other MN'ers as it is very personal to you.

Hello its me btw NAO just changing name for the evening

the goat just reading through posts and LOL

THIS IS TORTURE

after yesterdays posts i had gone back towards pewter/black BUT two of my close friends have it and have never felt gushy about it...

told one of said friends i was thinking of red and she was evidentltly very non-plussed

my kitchen will be understated but i am hoping modern in a classic sort of free standing way

very very high ceilings and all white

other end is table/sofa/woodburner and the only thing i have specified is floor to ceiling pin board for fun art and BITS - school art is strictly culled on entry to house and only choice installations allowed 'display time'!

Rather than the Tom and Barbara Good look i was hoping for the slightly eclectic mix of styles.... hmmm might be a bit pie in the sky...

PLEASE Keep commenets coming they really help - Tacky - i want to take your advice but your name is not conducive!

Connie -
sorry name meant to be slightly ironic??
maybe not that successful.

your kitchen sounds gorgeous. Didn't want to tell you what to do but I would say cream.

It's all of the following:
cosy
classic and modern (if you know what I mean in a modern country way)
light and airy
neutral enough to cope with all the other colours going on in a kitchen by the time you have put out pots and pans, kids school stuff, gadgets.....

the only other option, if you want it is black.
BTW is this a four oven beast or two oven?

on second thoughts, with your wooden floor it just has to be cream.
Nice soft combo.

I feel I have to prove my taste credentials here. Have a barn conversion kitchen in farmhouse but tried to make it modern relaxed country, light and airy. Mostly scruffy and mucky in reality.

Feel my interior design efforts are always blighted by DCs, DH and dog plus all their stuff which seems to be spread far and wide. If they all tidied up this place could look fabulous.

name is just a book i had when younger tacky! reminded me when i lit a black kitch candlarbre today!

i WANTED cream from the off but you cannot have cream and white....

I have got cream aga and white cupboards.
Fresh look.
think seaside and simple shaker country style.

just got it - not making a comment on your name but responding to your comment on my 'tacky' name.
tee hee

very old off white aga, cream shaker style cupbards. I do love it so. ahhhh.

Connie's curious candle...it melted too close to the fire and bent into a 'C' shape, did it not?

mine is dark blue...goes lovely with wooden units I think and brown and blue swimming pool tiles behind...

it did Vic!!!! well done you!

oh i seeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tacky ! doh

CREAM.

CREAM.

CREAM.

god help me - i have a little cream chit from aga shop...

i do love cream

got six offspring so going for the beast with four ovens

ours is black.
but came with house.
cant imagine buying one, wow.
if i had to choose a colour i think id explode.
black is good. goes with everything.

i have oak floors in my kitchen btw.
and cream cupboards.

black goes with ANY style imo. cream a close second.

black! black! go for black.

i think black btw.

d'you know? black is nice...

thanks nappies but would you get black or pewter which is black but as the lady in the showroon said 'with slightly more depth'

its impossible

We have a cream one and a wood floor ( photo on profile). I love it.

i would go black
pewter with its depth will dictate style and colour scheme choices in the future.
black, like i say, will go with ANYthing.

black baby. you know it makes sense.

(fwiw, i love the idea of pewter, but my long term sensible style head says black, and d'you know? i think im right )

forgot to say its an old aga so is the darker cream, more like buttermilk. i think the new cream is much lighter

fan club here

kristinas picture convinces me im right in thinking cream is a v close second choice re freedom of movement, colour-scheme wise, in future.
creams nice.
but black rocks.
