I am considering painting my kitchen the color below. This is the powder room off the kitchen.
This is the current color in the kitchen. My kitchen is 15 x 30 with one long wall in field granite (mostly arched as appliance alcoves and walkthroughs). There is a double glass door on the north and a single glass door on the south, as well as one large window on the east. The room gets a lot of light.
So, should I do it? Because you know I don't have anything else to do with my time! I don't have much room for color in my house as the living area is entirely wood. I painted my office goldenrod a couple of years ago and still like it, but I keep painting the kitchen. Such an important dilemma.

HGTV is a good addictioin for the winter, recover when the good weather returns.
I love the color of your bathroom. For me, I need a bright kitchen in the morning...especially those cold, dark winter mornings.
My dream kitchen is yellow with royal blue. I haven't decided on a shade of yellow.
I have to agree with giantspeckledchichuahua...I think a warmer color for the kitchen is best, especially since you live in a VERY cold state and have many dark mornings.
I am in the process of picking paint for my kitchen as well, I am leaning towards a golden yellow.
It is a dilemma. The color of your bathroom is rich and elegant - and I find it to be a warm shade. I think I would love it for a while, but tire of it soon and want something lighter and brighter. They say dark wall seem to recede and disappear, rather than close you in. But with a room that size you can certainly take the risk of going darker.
I've always admired those rich wine colors - especially in dining rooms. Perhaps the lightness in all the stone walls and all your windows would be enough to balance the darker burgundy walls.
It's such a personal choice. You have to do what feels right for you. My kitchen and dining room are a kind of cafe-au-lait froth color with lots of white moldings. But my kitchen has so many dark cupboards, I could not go any darker. However, most of my accessories are the same rich burgundy you are wondering about. Perhaps that's why I am partial.
Go fir it! Love the richness of the red.
I love a warm colored kitchen and the rock work and wood would compliment the color you've chosen. Color to me just adds so much character to a room!
GO AHEAD AND DO IT! ITS JUST PAINT AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT YOU CAN CHANGE IT! I REALLY LIKE YOUR BLOG! I LIVE IN TEXAS AND I SHOW GAITED HORSES.
Any shade of red is not usually my colour[think where I live! lol. ☺] but I think this would look fantastic & I don't think it's a colour you would tire of quickly. As others have said your stone & windows will provide enough light that it won't be overpowering. I think I'd be tempted to try it. What a lovely dilema to have for the winter months.
Thank you everyone for your advice and opinions.
gsc & Judy, I like yellow as well, but the grey in the stone would not work well with it, and there is a lot of stone!
Bonnie, there is also very little wall space and the cabinetry is light maple, while the floor is pine planking. I think it will be ok.
Ice Pony Girl, I think I will go fir it!
Alicia, after seeing the photos of some of your rooms, I bow to your very good taste!
scot7, Welcome & thank you! You are right, it can be redone. I have a couple of saddlebreds, one with a rack.
Ganeida, I can understand why you would avoid red. : )
I believe I will paint it, now I simply need to find the time. I am also going to try my hand at a glass mosaic backsplash behind the stove, the only place I need one. ( the sink is in the middle of the room!)
