black granite/ carrara marble console sink? Need help and a push
Comments (4)How long will the sight line be looking at the sink? If it is a long view, then yes I would probably have a problem with the p trap and lines not being centered. If you really can't see the sink until you are at it (as is the case with small baths) I wouldn't mind at all. Is it a guest bath as is when you have guests sleeping over? Or a guest bath for anyone you have any guests in the house? I think that too would determine if the pipes not being centered would bug me. If it is used rarely, not so much worry, used weekly, more concerned. How off centered??? Semi:...See MoreWhy is it so hard to find Navy & Tan decor?
Comments (14)Why is it so hard to find Navy & Tan decor? I adore dark blues like navy and midnight and I think a beautiful dark blue is one of the few colors that is worthy of the titles, "timeless" and "classic". It's just not 'in trend' right now. Not so long ago, the navy, burgundy, tan, and hunter green combo was a blazing hot color trend. Fast forward to today, and navy blue by association and in combination with those other colors has an unseemly cachet  unseemly in a way that can only be achieved by being a part of an insanely popular color trend. And when it comes to trends, you're either in or you're out (as Heidi says on Project Runway). Unfortunately navy blue has been "out" and only creeps into product lines on rare occasions. I think if you look closely, a pattern arises in that navy is the go-to color whenever the goal is to design something "masculine" or "nautical". Apparently, it is welcome to support a theme of sorts but on it's own, navy hasn't been invited too many places lately. Personally, I love navy blue and think it's a super choice especially when black brings too darn much drama or dark brown's coziness just isn't sophisticated enough....See MoreWhy is it so hard to find what is in your mind! :) (Bathroom cont)
Comments (24)it's confusing until you see a pic of my fireplace that previous owners had when we bought the new place..)) it has(had) this rainbow slate plus white mantel. immediate feeling of something inherently wrong. the feel of the slate is somewhat rustic.the feel of the mantel is traditional. the slate has, like, 6 or 7 colors is in. The mantel is warm white-doesn't correlate to anything in the stone, really, It just reads like a mistake, like a "wut?". they should have gone for a stained mantel if they loved the slate so. now i'm not a slate fan but i must say-it might grow on me too wasn't it so off with the rest of the space, it was also in the living room-dictating nearly every decision around had I decide to leave it while bathroom is a separate place, a smaller space, and you feel much more free to integrate there a material like a multi colored stone if you like it i also feel this "no white" recommendation doesn't really pertain to the fixtures. the baths toilets sinks etc are usually white, that s how we're used to see them..they're also shiny, different sort of surface, and they'll work in any space-they also repeat each other, and one of the main rules(that I find useful lol) of success is repetition of elements so if your future slate ties with the trim-and it will as we know-that's already a part of equation successfully sold. what she says in the article basically is "great! don't paint that trim then"...See MoreWhy so hard to find tall bookcases???
Comments (17)I am buying a 72 inch tall one shortly, and I know they have ones about a foot taller than that. Unfortunately, it is from a small shop where they specialize in in finish-it-yourself furniture -- but if that's fine with you, you could call them and ask them where they source their furniture (since they don't make it themselves). The Wood Bin, Brookfield, CT - you can google them (I have). I'm certain this type of store is elsewhere than in just Connecticut, and once you contact the supplier, you may have an idea from there what other outlets they may service. Yep, books are not (yet) dated!!! I'm not tossing them all just to re-purchase on Kindle!...See MoreShells Only Complete Home Improvements
