Thinking about adding upholstered chairs in the DR
Comments (10)Thanks, may flowers! All very good suggestions! It is just the photo angle that makes the chandelier look like its hung a little too close to the window. It is not EXACTLY centered on the wall with the botanicals, but it is off by only 4 inches. There is 28" between the backs of the chairs and the window wall. You are right about the problem with where to stop the paint. I've always wanted to be able to paint the DR a different color, but in this house, the paint has to be the same in the LR, DR, hall and even part of the entry. I have thought about a rug, but I kinda like the contrast between the lighter color of the floor and the darker wood in the table and chairs. Also, most of the time when we use this table, it is expanded and it would be half on the rug and half off. But, IF I added a rug, do you have any suggestions? I agree with your idea of changing the drapes. I don't know if you've been following KevinMP's threads on his DR, but I just realized that something like the drapes he replaced might be just what I need. They appeared to be a similar color to what I have now, but they also had some black in them. OR......maybe I could add some kind of trim with black, green and gold to the leading edge of the drapes....See MoreThinking about adding a Craft page.......
Comments (18)Here is the craft page so far. I added the wall decor nanacherie. No, you don't have to be a member its just a web page of KT information through the years. Lots of recipes, photos, websites & fun stuff. Its NOT a message board. It's totally Non-profit. You can email me your ideas or just post them here at the Kitchen Table. I would love to see your crafts so include a picture & I'll have a photo page of your crafts. All you have to do is type in at Google "KT gathering place" and it will take you right there. *Suggestions and people are always welcome* Here is a link that might be useful: Craft page...See MoreNeed advice about adding covered back porch
Comments (15)We just added a screened-in porch off the back of our small house, which faces south. We added this as we were in the process of a remodel that opened up the back with lots of light... so I was pretty nervous about how it might feel with a roof limiting some of that light. Especially because we have only 8ft ceilings. It definitely reduces the bright sun but it still feels like we have plenty of light. The white roof and pillars help, as for the 3 skylights that are placed parallel with the doors. I would have loved a pergola both to preserve the light and because they’re charming, but in our area the bugs are too miserable to get much use out of an unscreened patio. This is the best before and after I can show - It’s definitely not gloomy but the bright spotlight of sun through each door is reduced....See Morehi, we are thinking about adding some track lights and a ceiling fan
Comments (2)I'm not sure you need either in this space. Those beams are so beautiful, I would be afraid to detract from them. I would concentrate on storage solutions for this room first and then think about paint and decor....See More- 14 years ago
