Comments (15)Just out of curiosity, is this tub new? I love the old style of it. You did a nice job picking appropriate fixtures in keeping with the age. Also, is that wide windowsill wood? I can see a beautiful piece of marble there, or marble-like laminate. Think old buildings with marble windowsills. As for a place for shampoos etc, could you just put them on the bathtub side ledge? If you do the u-shaped shower curtain rod, you should run the subway tile all the way to the ceiling. You'd be surprised at how high water can splash.

Comments (11)I just OOgle over all the decorative work on those houses. They really are a treasure. I don't know if I have ever told you before about this, but we have a portion of our city that is called "Pan Town." It was located "Way Out of Town" (in those days it was only 4 or 5 miles out.) There was an auto manufacturer (The Pan Car) that built up this part of town with a variety of houses, so the workers could live closer to work. The prices varried so the blue colar would live amoung the white colar people. Those homes still stand today and they are so interesting. I'm sure they must be Kit Homes. I enjoy the fact that you share your hobby and excitement with us....See MoreNewly painted home, to many colors? Pics Galore
Comments (50)Well, here's my question to you....Do you like it and just wonder if others will too? That's a common feeling when we paint more color than our friends and family. When I did my red kitchen 8 years ago, the reaction from most, both here on the board and in real life, was great. But there were still some who walked in and said things like, "Oh, I can see you like Color!!" And it stuck in my head a bit. Not enough to change because we all loved it. And when I painted it gray a year ago, I got some who loved it and asked me for the color, and some who mourned the loss of "the pretty kitchen with red walls". So, I wondered if you are just hoping it's all working for we anonymous friends, or if it's a bit "off" to you and you want some feedback? Your house reminds me of my dear daughter's house. I helped them paint a Brand New house (with muted colors carefully chosen by decorators) in Red and Spring Green. When you walk in, the green is uplifting and happy. The red of the kitchen is immediately visible and flows into a soft warm yellow hallway. Bath at the end of the hall is deep orange/terra cotta. It has a paisley RL shower curtain and vintage Icard prints and really looks good, but it is all much more color than I like in my own home. We always joke that she is the more happy/colorful version of me! And for the record, I like rooms painted in one color. Wainscoting I like in a shade of white usually. Other than that, I think your house has a very happy vibe, accented by Pooch #1 and Dear Doggie #2. Red...See Morelido
