I see warm tones- what do you see
Comments (31)I like both of the blue paint colors, they read "masculine" and really bring out the deep jewel tones in the rug. I'm partial to the first one but I'm not sure what they look like IRL, of course. Sorry, I don't see warm tones, or pillows, or baby pictures in this room. I think a stripe in navy blue, hunter green and/or burgundy might be nice for the drapes. I think the hunting prints would be a more interesting grouping if they included one or two matted prints, maybe an old sepia tone, to change things up. I'm racking my brain trying to remember where I saw it, but a pair of round footstool/coffee tables would be more useful and practical than one of either IMO. Ditch the drapes, and the wrought iron piece (love the art poster idea). I'm not sure about the chandelier, I think I would use ivory shades. Maybe a dart game, with the appropriate cork-lined case that would open to protect the walls. A cigar cutter and ashtray on the end table. Brandy snifters and cognac on the bar. I would want a (pocket?) door installed, so that I didn't have to be disturbed by the lions den goings on, that's just me. If the man reads, he'll want a better lamp and a sturdy bookshelf, if he's a music lover, he'll need space for a stereo too....See MoreDo you see what I see?
Comments (15)I did see what you saw in my neighbors yard just last week.Since the yards are all fenced off , with very few areas for a small animal to get by, I was stunned to say the least to see a family of gosslings walking around her yard for a couple of hours..Never did see how they finally exited,but the funniest thing was at least a couple of hours later they were seen parading down my street. Photograph was printed in local newspaper....See MoreDo you see what I see?
Comments (9)That nest is a thing of beauty. If only hornets weren't so aggressive! What kind of woodstove do you have? When we first moved into this house we heated entirely with a Jotul woodstove in the living room and an antique coal cook stove in the kitchen. Eventually we sold the coal stove, moved the Jotul over to the barn to use there, and bought a bigger Jotul. We kept it going all winter, day and night. I haven't fired the stove up in years. I've been afraid of fire since I've been living alone, but in recent winters I've begun to think longingly of the coziness of a small fire in the Jotul. It's near my desk and would keep me warm without burning a lot of heating oil. My son installed a new fireproof mat underneath it last week and informed me that we have lots of well-seasoned firewood. I had the chimney inspected two years ago. Do you think I need to get it inspected again before I use the stove? The chimney also serves the oil burner. Anyway, I had planned just to tell you I like woodstoves. :-)...See MoreHelp! What tone do you see?
Comments (11)Thank you all for the advice and tips. I do agree with you Patricia. I see a lot of yellow as well. The cabinets are more of a true white but you wouldn’t know it since the walls are an off white/creamy white. Making the yellow very abundant. We just bought the home. Just trying to paint the walls something to start. I was looking at agreeable grey or Collingwood potentially balboa mist. I like the greige. Trying to avoid a beige since I feel like the yellow will come out again but I want to complement the floors since they are so busy. Thank you...See Morecpartist
