Found the perfect wall mount sink at salvage yard!
Comments (16)budge1, the taps are pretty, aren't they? Fortunately the taps weren't TOO expensive....what is really killing me is the stupid shower/bath faucet sets. Not only am I totally baffled by all the pressure balance blah blah blah options...but they are all so friggen expensive! vondab--I got lucky and found a salvage sink that was already in pretty good condition. I know what you mean, though, I saw plenty of sinks that would have been very nice if it hadn't been for all the rust. I think my sink is porcelain...a lot of the salvage sinks are cast iron, which I believe can be resurfaced more or less successfully. I really have no experience with that process, though, so I can't offer any words of wisdom. I did, however, buy a product that was recommended on the deabath.com website, called 'Zud'. It was quite effective in removing a minor rust colored area on the sink (not visible in the pictures I posted above) as well as some rust stains on my tile floor. Might be worth a try.... Here is a link that might be useful: DEA bath website...See MoreFound a beautiful neutral! Huh?
Comments (7)Caramel and Milk Chocolate. Who wouldn't love that mix?! I think that there are so many great browns out there too. It's funny how some of them look watered down though and then you paint another swatch beside it of what would appear to be exactly the same color on the chip but on the wall it has so much more depth and character than the watered down color that you just tried....See MoreLooking for the Perfect 'Blue' Neutral Paint Color
Comments (39)I started to second guess my posting and whether that bluish color is actually Silver Sage -- I am so sorry, I know how confusing this can be and I don't mean to add to the confusion! It could actually be Benjamin Moore Cashmire Grey. Whatever the color is, on this dark, dreary, rainy morning - it now looks more green. This is why it is always a good idea to get samples and put up on your own walls so you can see at different times of the day. All my samples and 1000+ paint swatches went in the trash after reno - part of the "cleaning" out process. I can't help you with those other colors and don't want to guess!!! Trust yourself, you have beautiful colors in the other rooms!!!...See MoreCan I change paint and leave all the rest? Going neutral
Comments (24)Thank you all for your responses! I think maybe I wasn't clear above. I LOVE my curtains, rug and accents. :) Including the baskets. I use them regularly and I like the look of them. So that would leave as options painting the walls, trim and cabinets. I was really looking for dark drapes and light walls when I found those inspiration pics. I do see that the trim is light too. I guess I did not have much luck finding dark trim and dark drapes. :( I will look some more. I have actually been moving to stainless appliances as they break down. I guess that is an old picture! It doesnt change things too much on its own Chispa! It is a good idea though. If there is very little painted wood in a house, would it look odd to have painted cabinets? Auntjen I was thinking of you when I was posting and as I have been thinking of painting. I love how your house transformed with your new colors. I loved it before too, but now it seems more, I dont know, serene? Your artwork and accessories are more the focus maybe. I think Pal did a post on that awhile back. Maybe it was someone else, but either the paint or the accessories standing out. Both maybe is jarring. madeyna - I am more worried about painting the trim and lower cabinets with the young kids. I know it will show dings and dents way more that way. I wonder if I can paint just the uppers or if that will look half done? olychick! you are so smart. I hadnt even thought about the old picture. It has a much darker rug in it. but you are right, the DR before painting had whitish yucky wallpaper, b ut it gives you and idea. I have to say, I didn't really like it like that at all. but I think it was because the paper is white. I am thinking of more a cream/light beige color which is warmer. I think I have to try a color visualizer or something. that might help. teacats I think you are right - start with the walls. then see how it evolves. lavender lass I like the idea of a warmer color. White I think would be too harsh. I am going to look at that matte color when I get home. I think that might be a good starting point. I would love to see pictures Kimberly, cindyloo and southerngal. :) LOL pattycakes. DH has a cousin that is a painter so luckily we usually get him to paint for us. I dont think I could do it myself at this point! :) I for sure need a new light fixture lascatx. well, actually two in the kitchen they are both terrible. Any other paint suggestions for the walls? Thoughts on painting the upper half of the cabinets?...See More- 16 years ago
