Mixing Contemporary with Traditional
Comments (33)A BIG thank you to all of you for your honesty - I truly appreciate it. I have been every direction and back again on these trying to make something work. Actually, I have always gravitated toward solid, but I have gotten off track a few times for different reasons...need to head back that direction. hoosiergirl, thanks for the vote of confidence. blondiel, thanks for your additional help. The solid is a good suggestion. I too think the stripe would add something to the room in the form of pillows. jerseygirl, thanks for all of your comments on this. I want you to know that I always enjoy seeing what you have done with your place. You have actually inspired me to evolve my style somewhat. :) jjam, thanks for the support. P.S. I love your dining room drapes! les, thanks for your honesty. I didn't think you liked this, but am glad you officially chimed in! :) I have shyed away from banding these drapes because I have been told I have too many rectangles in the room and that would be another. Who knows? Cheifneil, no you were not too blunt. Thank you. I completely agree that there are too many things going on in the room. Good news is I am getting rid of the plaid and the wicker chair. Getting two matching chairs by the fireplace and moving the leather over to the window. I hope that will help the situation. I haven't picked fabric for those chairs yet as I am waiting to make this decision first. I hope no one thought I thought my room looked like the cover picture! I know they are very different, I was originally just wondering what people thought of the vertical drapes. Thanks again everyone....See MoreMixing Modern and Traditional Exterior
Comments (19)yes, absolutely. I went w/Eagle roofing (got the cement tiles) and on the specs it was already rated for higher temps. my roofing guy then told me about he gel underlayment. I think it's from Boral. It's like a double sided sticky thing w/a spongey middle. absorbs the heat and then reflects it back up through the tile or something. I dunno. what I do know is my home seems cooler than it was w/the old 30 year old roof tiles! And for what I paid for this roof, it better be cooler! they look light gray, but are actually a dark charcoal/black! since you're doing asphalt, you prob want to check w/the CRRC (cool roof rating council) and see which shingles are best....See MoreCan I mix Traditional rug with Moroccan rug in one room?
Comments (8)Thank you, everyone for your suggestions. I will definitely get the bigger chandeliers to balance out the room. The table cannot be turned on side way due to the space between credenza. Although I originally wanted square/rectangle rugs, none of those fit because all legs of the chair would not be on those rugs. We tried to move table forward so the legs will fit but then, there would be awkward space by the windows. I am also wondering if I should get runner in the living room. And if I should, do I match with the one in the living room or one in dining room?...See MoreMixed era traditional
Comments (14)@Jinks Oh, yes, I think I remember that. Once there was a question about painting (pretty standard 1990s woodwork) in a largish, McMansionish house and I felt like the question needed context, as in Why did they want to paint it and what else was going to be happening in the big scheme of things. I don't know, yesterdays "ugly tract house" is todays "midcentury modest" and while I am not a fan of most 1990s McMansions, I feel that some of them may deserve to be kept more or less in original condition rather than tarted up Pinterest style, which, without a plan, will still look like a 1990s McMansion tarted up. I am a moral relativist when it comes to design, I would rather see something well executed in bad taste than poorly executed in current popular taste, if that makes sense. And if it is the poster I am thinking of , she has a pair of doors hung upside down in her house and I don't think she realizes it. Honestly I am too cerebral and that was not close to the first time or anywhere close to the last that I have been told to shut up and just answer the question with a yes or no answer or tell someone what to do, so it doesn't bother me. I am happy to give the short answer if it suits but sometimes I would rather help someone come to their Own conclusions whether they want to intially or not. I was going to apologize for making the thread go off track, but it's my thread, I realize....See MoreRelated Professionals
