I was thinking of using metal spray paint. I currently have all my cupboards painted white, and going to do something with the doors, sponge, rag, or color wash, I'm not sure yet. I have my formica counters and backsplashes primed, and am going to faux finish the counter tops granite- green or brown base with gold, black and tan accent. I will probably color wash the backsplashes in a adobe color (color in my living room). Any decorating ideas or better color scheme ideas? The floor is linoleum- forest green w/gray and a lighter green. I want to paint the hinges a brown, metallic, or copper color depending on what colors I go with on the countertop. I could use some ideas. (the cupboard doors are just flat doors- no trim or edging- this is why I would like to dress up the hinges)

Normally I make garden fresh salsa with tomatoes, tomatillos, carrots, cilantro, onions, jalapenos, and orange juice- but this is too expensive- and the tomatillos and tomatoes from the store taste like crap this time of year. Any suggestions for an alternate salsa (I have garden tomatillos in the freezer) besides salsa verde, or any unique side dishes I could add? I am making frijoles del rancho, and rice, but would like some other ideas.
