wall color to coordinate with stained glass window - please help
Comments (31)So you can get an idea of what brown w/ dark trim may offer you here are 2 browns that I used yrs. ago and really liked w/ my dark trim. Clearly you can see that I lean towards most anything w/ a green tone. I won't list the names as I just wanted to give you a general idea.: On a dreary day & flash: The next lighter shade on the strip: Brown could work very well w/ the greyer tones that you are trying to work w/. If I might make a few color suggestions to give you some ideas of greyed colors that could be close to some of those Farrow and Ball colors that could look so nice w/ your wood - not sure about the windows: Really Greyed colors BM Imperial Gray #1571 BM Cheyenne Green #1502 or 1512 - can't read my writing SW Svelte Sage SW Softened Green #6177 BM Mesquite #0501 Clearer colors that are similar to some F&B colors: BM Healing Aloe #1562 SW Mountain Air Valspar Field of Pines #5004-4A BM Blue Grass #CC-640 Valspar April Thicket #5003-3C BM Wythe Blue #HC-143 BM Florentine Plaster #520 SW Naturel #2080 Also don't think that using a rich cream/ neutral color is a cop out. Sometimes that is a beautiful way to pull all of the others colors together and have a subtle yet rich palette that flows so well. Remember - if that window can be seen from other rms. the wall colors in those other rms. can raelly help draw the color of the window out and totally unify everything around it. Have you thought about painting the parlor another color instead of Rich Cream? Maybe paint the entry rm. Rich Cream instead. My thought process is that when you would walk into your home you would see the beautiful window w/ no hard visual color pulling away from it and then all of the subtle greyed tones all around. Although I do see your point - Rich Cream would really look lovely w/ that white in that rm. Personally I do not regret for an instant deciding to go neutral in my hallway....See Moreweird placement of stained glass piece?
Comments (5)I think if that door is never going to be used and there's no risk of damage to the piece, and if you love it and want to live with it in your home, then you absolutely should hang it there! I think that just because something is "meant" to be used in a certain location doesn't mean that it absolutely can't be. The only thing that personally feels "wrong" to me when it comes to the placement of stained glass is to hang it in a location where the light doesn't come shining through. Kinda seems like that defeats the whole purpose. ;-)...See MoreDifferences between Stained Glass, Cathedral Window, and Etched Glass?
Comments (6)And rearrangement never ends! I have been digging things into the ground for the winter and thinking that's not really where I want it. I guess I'll be busy rearranging next season again! I really like Stained Glass. I've been struggling with a very small Cathedral Windows so I can't comment on it. Saw Etched Glass in a nursery this year and picked it up. But since my garden is full, I decided to put it back. Sometimes what I find with newer hosta (that not many people have) is that they may not grow well, or they may not look good all season etc. So I try to refrain from buying new until others have it and can tell me more about it. Anyways, it slows down the amount of new hostas I get to have---which is actually a good thing for me---until I find more hosta real estate!...See MoreColor & Design: best guard rail optio to balance stained glass windows
Comments (22)Hi there, I installed this metal rail and I think I made a mistake. It has to be replaced because it’s too short but now that I see it, I’m wondering if I should switch to a glass rail. or switch to a rail with no center post, like this one? Unfortunately I already have 12 holes in the floor so a 3rd option is to keep the 3 floor plates and to remove the center post in the new design. This would allow the b rail to be closer to the ground. Sorta like this; since this rail is shorter than code requirements, I still have option to change my mind for the next day or so I would love to have any feednack that you have... also, If you like the rail as is, please let me know ASAP. this is also an option! Thanks!!...See Morecpartist
