Charcoal Modern

What color should i paint my baseboards?

I am remodeling my downstairs half bath. The walls are painted Notable Hue (Sherwin Williams), almost a nautical blue color. The floor is that Mikado Ebano slate tile. It's black and gray with hints of blue and also looks like wood. The vanity is also a charcoal color with a frosted clear vessel sink, with a funky looking faucet.so it's very modern looking. Keeping in mind that the bathroom is not very large My question is, I have no idea what to do about the baseboards. I have read all the blogs and now im even more confused? Should i paint them to match all the other trim in the house ,which is crisp linen. Then i was thinking of painting them a light gray color. Could someone please steer me in the right direction!

I'm noticing a trend with the other responses that you might want to RUN AWAY FROM lol.

Contrast is NOT...I repeat, NOT a good thing when you are trying to avoid making a small space look smaller.

Before I start ranting about misconceptions...Go with a charcoal or a hazy blue. DONT go gloss...DONT go white. Keep it within the color family you already have established in the room. The less contrast you have, the less you're going to make the room look small.

If you're a Sherwin Williams fan, I'd take the color pallet they have (don't buy it, just go in and look at it) and pick something that's slightly lighter, but not overly different.

The Charcoal Barbecue – A History

The charcoal barbecue has been around for quite some time. It is a summertime tradition in the United States to fire up some hot coals and grill up a slab of meat while the smell of numerous other barbecues floats across the neighborhood. A barbecue with friends, family and all the fixin’s is truly an American institution.

But where did all this summertime fun and food come from? How did it begin? The first charcoal barbecue as we are used to seeing showed up in the United States in the 1950’s. During this time a long running television advertising campaign introduced the American public to the charcoal barbecue. This was the beginning of barbecuing as we know it.

But even before the introduction of the modern charcoal barbecue people were using charcoal fires to roast meat. The first people believed to have barbecued were the native peoples of the Caribbean islands who cooked large pieces of meat over big pits filled with hot coals. The University of Virginia did a research project on the origins of the charcoal barbecue and found that the French and Spanish explorers and colonists “borrowed” this way of cooking meat from the native islanders. It was imported to America, particularly the pre-Civil War south and became a part of the cooking culture there.

Because the staple meat of the south was and still is pork this charcoal cooking caught on quite easily. Of course the barbecue process was improved upon over time until the first charcoal barbecue was marketed nation wide in the 1950’s.

Since that first charcoal barbecue was introduced over 50 years ago it has evolved even further during that time. What started as a coal filled pit with a spit to turn the meat placed over is now the modern barbecue we see in our local home improvement stores. Of course there have been several major advances in the charcoal barbecue over the years. The first was the introduction of lighter fluid. This made it easier to get the fire started and along with charcoal briquettes brought barbecuing into mainstream American culture. Taking this a step farther you can now get a hybrid charcoal and gas grill all in one. The gas is used to light the coals so that the more traditional barbecue chefs can continue to enjoy the smoky taste afforded by hot coals.

The charcoal barbecue continues to be an American institution and for good reason, there is no better way to cook burgers, steaks, chicken or just about anything else then over an open fire.
