The forum is lousy with people regretting their tile decisions when in actuality its not bad at all. Have no regerts.

Surprised no one brought this up sooner, lol.......

I like this house a lot, but I am wondering why the stairs don’t lead to the front door?

Please don't mess with the front door? It is part and parcel the look of the house and a decent one is a bloody "metal fortune". I do agree I'd far prefer a white on top.

The house is intentionally a bit austere, yup........,intentionally. " Modern farmhouse vernacular.

The color need only be very focused landscaping or you don't love THIS house ? It already has character, albeit in just one color and it's white

Michelle’s last comment sounded a lot like closure…..?

I’d get something more colorful. It’s also a lot of furniture. How many people will be sitting around staring at each other at one time?

Thanks HALLETT & Co. I will check out antique rugs. We don't plan to have a center coffee table because it will become a dumping ground for our family. We will have multiple end tables, though. Any suggestions or ideas for some good end tables?

Shawna - yes, that's intentional. We host quite often..at least five families (10 adults). Also, the grey couches are not love seats. Just oversize single chairs.

Stain it something in the medium to dark range.

Leave it. It will naturally turn less pink over time.
