Help! Living room furniture dilemma and outdated fireplace!
Comments (9)Sofa and TV - I'll have some rearranging to do! should I have a wrap around couch/ or the same sized couch with accent chairs? Fireplace - the fireplace and the built it storage on both sides of it will need updating eventually if I move the TV. the fireplace was made originally to hide tv cables and a sub-woofer (which won't be needed in the future) on one side and firewood on the other. Paint - I agree with repainting just wasn't sure where I should start with this room. Plus the paint from this wall extends above the sliding doors, top wall of the kitchen, then leads down to the basement, so we'll have a lot to repaint. Furniture - I agree, the furniture we have just feels too bulky for the space Dining table - we actually have a separate dining room which which just finished painting and I'll be redecorating soon. I can remove the table in the pictures - the previous owners had a table there so we just followed suit. We now have bar stools at the kitchen counter anyways and use that more often then the table. Should I entirely remove that light fixture in that area, or just replace it with something more simple?...See MoreHelp with fireplace update/mantle and black box dilemma
Comments (6)There is a RustOLeum muted gray spray paint intended for BBQ grills. You might consider painting it with that or a similar product designed to withstand high heat. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rust-Oleum-Specialty-High-Heat-Ultra-Silver-Spray-Paint-12-oz/196486786?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=2419&adid=22222222227066487799&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=192936394920&wl4=pla-306315930177&wl5=9011064&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=113134491&wl11=online&wl12=196486786&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0pqIu6ve5AIVRR6tBh0Oyw_0EAQYBiABEgLbwPD_BwE No fireplace "needs" a mantel if you don't want one; however, if/when you remove it, do expect to find some brackets that were holding it that will need to be removed if you remove the support board, too. You might be able to remove the mantel shelf and its supports and leave the board that is flat against the chimney and, perhaps, cover it with a new fireplace surround or build the surround beneath it and paint that board either the same color as the chimney or the same color as the surround....See MoreHelp with Direct Vent Fireplace Design Dilemma
Comments (8)Thank you- a lot of the images I’m finding I can not tell how far the fireplace is protruding, especially if the the photo is taken straight on. The one from RES shows it really clearly. So hard for me to visualize it but this helps a lot. Great advice about preventing cobweb invasion!...See MorePlease help! New to me home needs a refresh. Dark cabinet dilemma
Comments (2)Please don’t paint the cabinets!! They look gorgeous and modern. We are building and I chose espresso cabinets and white quartz counters. Contrast makes a house look nice IMO....See Moreabick2
