Please help me find fabric again.
Comments (16)Les, I didn't think about the repeat. I'm a little concerned about the red colors since it's not a red, red in the floral. I would think even if it's not an exact matach, since it's not a lot, either would still coordinate. Here's what the original fabric would've looked like. This might help, this is where this curtain is going. I'll be making a valance out of the floral fabric for the window. I'm getting ready (today) to paint the vanity a dark chocolate brown (SW Woodsy Brown) like my stairs. The floor is gray. I don't like it and have been kind of ignoring it. Don't know how great of an idea that is. The feathers in the corner are gone. I will be painting and adding hardware....See MorePaging Peytonroad....please help me once again....
Comments (2)Thanks Peytonroad....You've helped so much. I'm relatively new to posting here although I've lurked around for awhile. I have made a few posts commenting on other questions and asking a few of my own. Everyone has been so kind and I'm hope I'm not overlooking any etiquette in my posts. You do see many regular posters as well as folks asking for help. Your home looks beautiful and it seems we're going along the same traditional historical color lines. My first post was lamenting the fact we had just painted our entire living/dining/foyer with BM Honeymoon and it looked like a Barbie Dream House. We're just now in the middle of repainting the area with the Decatur Buff thanks to you and a few others. It seems wise to stick with BM's historical palette to avoid big bright mistakes!! Today our painter suddenly asked for my color choice for the master bath which is why I quizzed you about the Greenfield Pumpkin. It does look gorgeous in your home. Our bath is open to the bedroom which has a floral wallpaper with a beige (boring) background, and our bed is done in golds and burgundy. I'm hoping the Greenfield Pumpkin will blend with the burgundy in the bedroom. I'm not looking for matchy matchy, just compatibility. Again, your input is well-received and appreciated and, believe me, when we are finished with the living room, master bath, and powder room, I'll jump for joy and post some photos. It will be a relief to stop obsessing and dreaming of paint colors....Cheers...See MorePlease help me with my layout options. Again.
Comments (32)Thank you everyone! I have given everyone's ideas and suggestions a lot of thought. I'm grateful for the support of possibly going with DH's favourite plan, even though it's very unorthodox. I'm so grateful to you guys for giving me so many ideas and working within the oddness of this room. I really like sena01's idea of running the stairs in both directions, and I've combined that with Lavender_lass's island idea and come up with this: (thank you to you both for the continued help!): The island could having perching for 2 stools, space for a shallow cabinet facing the pantry and also book shelving running along the sitting room side. What I really like about this plan is that the stairs (which rebunky correctly pointed out are dangerous on the diagonal angle) are straight, the range/cooktop area could create a focal point, the fireplace can be viewed from the table and also I can expand the table with the leaves for those times we have houseguests, which is a nice bonus. My only concern about this plan is will I use the island for counter space? Or will it just sit empty unless we have it set up for guests, appies etc (which is not a regular occurrence). As soon as I drew this out, I realized this plan would work better with a range and get rid of the wall ovens for extra counter space. We'll see how much of a fit DH throws over that. -jlc712 - thank you for the drawing and your feedback! A KD actually drew up a plan just like that, but we eliminated it because it had quite a bit less storage than we have now, which we weren't comfortable with. -sena01, thank you for the 3D rendering! I totally see what you mean now. I hadn't thought to extend that peninsula further than the fridge on the other side. Very interesting thought. This is a good compromise if I lose the cabinet run by the pantry in order to have stairs in both directions. This is very helpful, thank you. -Jillius - you have such a talent for seeing a space in a totally new light. Thank you so much for the radical and amazing plan. I will admit that it got my heart beating faster! The more I think about it, the more I would rather go with that plan than the Plan D I have been discussing in this post. I agree that it uses the room in a more logical way. I could even add a gas fireplace (no idea on cost!) over in the sitting area, where the garden window is now, and add windows on either side. I'm going to show this to DH and we will discuss how we feel about going for a huge change. If money was no object, I really think I'd be on board right now. -llucy - You're right that I haven't addressed the uppers at all. It's because I'm so overwhelmed at the footprint, I figured I'd get that nailed down before I confuse myself more! One thing is for sure, I would love (even a small!) prep area that doesn't have uppers in my face. I have been giving a lot of thought to what you wrote about cooktop vs range and how that affects counter space. Thank you for that. -rebunky - you are completely right about the diagonal stairs being dangerous. Whenever we have someone come over who isn't used to the house, we have to warn them about the stairs :( Thanks for your encouragement and for understanding that we only want to make a change if it's going to be much better so as to be worth it! -lavender_lass, thank you so much for coming back for another look at my layout dilemma. I'm so appreciative of your help and I feel better just knowing you've had a look! About the stairs: rebunky was wondering if it might be kinda tight with the arm chair in the way of the stairs. I wanted you guys to see what it would look like. I moved my dog's anti-slip carpet to the line of where the bottom of the new stairs would be. Even in this new plan with the island, I'm hoping it will look okay because that's basically what I have now. What do you guys think? Does this look like an acceptable entry to the room?...See MorePlease help me make my peace lily healthy again. (photos included)
