Opinions on Farmhouse Exterior
Comments (24)My father's old family home was something like the old picture. I adored exploring all the rooms and hidden attic spaces in that old house, when I was a child. I visited it a few years ago, but did not go inside - don't think I'd want to see what has happened with renters for the past 45 years (the same couple, though). My cousin bought it out of our uncle's estate - a totally impractical, sentimental gesture. The house is in MO; he lives in TX and is now in his early 90's. It will be a huge burden his surviving child one day soon. I was glad to see that most of the huge old trees were still there, and a few traces of my grandmother's garden....See MoreWhat color wood floor for modern farmhouse light grey kitchen cabinets
Comments (13)I do like the cerused look myself and its really what I initially had in mind as my stain. Its not a finish everyone offers, is likely to be an upcharge if it is offered, and is going to look best on a rift or quartersawn white oak which isn't cheap wood to start with. I'm happy with how mine turned out and everyone who sees it seems to like it. It's driftwood on maple with an black glaze. Without the black glaze, the pink of the wood showed through and was too much. It's definitely grey, but it has an underlying brown and slightly pink tone so its warm and not GREY. I think it fairly different/unique/unexpected. Would probably have been a bit much for the entire kitchen though, I'd be careful of using grey flooring though, it's such a huge surface can be overwhelming....See MoreUsing white, farmhouse style windows in non-farmhouse?
Comments (37)Traditional ? you mean true divided windows where each piece of glass was installed between wood muntins? I can't imagine you could even buy a window like that...maybe at a salvage shop. My experience is with Anderson 400 which offers is the look of true divided windows, are energy efficient, and avoids the snap in/snap out vinyl grids, that break and leave holes in the window frame. K H, tell your husband to take a look...he needs an introduction to muntins in modern age. He won't freeze with these. My neighbor mowed his lawn last evening while we were having guests for dinner. I shut the windows, closed the slider (Anderson as well) and it was like turning off the t v....See MoreModern Farmhouse- how to finish fireplace surround
Comments (40)I'd paint the walls a warmer color to go better with the floors. I would absolutely get rid of that niche in whatever fire safety way possible. It is far too narrow and deep to be of much use and just looks strange IMO. I'd move the TV too and keep the floors as they are very nice...See MoreOaktown
