Comments (5)Hi Pattyann, Your place sounds lovely. I know all about kids and their color choices, although they don't have to be teens. My son wanted a green and "bwue" bedroom. Oh lord. He chose the "Chinese Blue" and honey it is BLUE! He also chose an incredibly obnoxious green, but I drew the line there and talked him into a softer green. Anyway, it's not what I would have chosen, but I really kind of like it for a boy's room. Anyway. What I have read and have found to be true in my experience is that you can use different colors in an open concept space, so long as you stick to the same color strength/tonal value. By that I mean that they are all the same darkness/lightness. That way, they all go well together in general. It probably also helps if you stick to the warm vs. cool family. I was very worried that my "Off White" bedroom, which is SO off it's a warm gray that I just love, and my cream master bathroom weren't going to work together. But it's just beautiful and really interesting and I truly believe it's because they're of the same tonage (how's THAT for a word?). When I was painting my son's room, I kept looking into his white bathroom, which I was planning to paint in a really light/soft green and blue to placate my own desires. As I would look at that white room from his now painted room, it just didn't work. His room is medium toned with dark trim. So, in a stroke of insanity I decided to paint his bathroom in the same Chinese Blue. And do you know it's gorgeous and it all goes so well together! Again because the tone from one room to the next is about the same. The white tile, medicine cabinet, toilet, sink, and trim, as well as good lighting, keep it from looking dark. It's also a very small room, but truly doesn't feel any smaller for the dark paint. I hope fatlester and funcolors see this. They're both amazing with color and have actually studied it. I've only read many books and painted for myself. So my advice is do as many colors as you like, but keep them all about the same shade of light vs. dark, and it should go together beautifully. If you want to use just ONE color, then yes a beautiful neutral would, I think, compliment your other colors rather nicely too. Good luck!

Comments (18)I can say that I've never had a display cabinet with 3/8" side walls have any issues with pullout of any of the fasteners for the drawer slides. (I really don't have too many 3/8" in the showroom though.) The drawer bottom collapses first! LOL! My example of storing granite pieces was from real life. I put some overflow granite samples in a couple of the displays, and left them there much longer than I should. The drawer bottom collapsed. I knew better and I still did it. That's why I have the big ugly metal lateral file cabinet now. :) I have had customers over the years have issues with fasteners pulling out of cabinet sides, but there's not a real relationship to the material thickness. It's happened with 3/8" and 1/2" (or 3/4" frameless) sides and generally has to do more with how rough and tumble people behave, or at least that's the only consistant correlation that I've come up with. I can also say that it's happened far less with folks with soft close drawers.....so, maybe there's something to be said about the wear and tear the vibration of slamming causes. Maybe someone else on the construction end of the business can add more light onto the issue. I think jdesign was just posting here recently. You might send him a note and ask for his comments here. (Although I've noticed that sometimes folks who build cabinets confuse them with bunkers that have to withstand an aeral bomb assault. LOL!)...See MoreRemoving or painting over metallic paint
Comments (4)I would figure out how to get a fan installed in there, if your paint is attracting mildew. If you cant get a ceiling fan installed, look into getting a through the wall fan installed. Other than that, the only thing you can do is prime well, with a very good quality oil based primer, and then repaint the ceiling with a mildew resistant bathroom type paint. I have a fan, and also have silver metallic paint in one bathroom. (Martha Stewart brand), and have no problems at all with mildew. Before you paint, or do anything though, use a good cleaner with bleach in it to clean off that mildew. Fumes could be strong, so have good ventilation....See Morejschwartz45_charter_net
