Comments (22)sweeby....I'm thinking just like you... I would not do stone...it breaks the "flow" of the polished stone counters and cabinets....you ultimately want something to complement the space not compete with it...I'm not liking the subway tile because it will actually bring the cabinets down onto the counter..meaning visually your eye will pick up a squatty center and not one that brings your eye up and through the cabinets...I think a great ceramic tile the brings your eye up and has some hues in it that complement your granite would be best..if you break down your counter into 10 colors...I would stick to 2-3 of the colors in the lower half of those colors in terms of darkness..I'm thinking of something along the lines of a soft honey or cream... I don't think these harlequins would be the best choice but maybe a flatter ceramic with a bit of a beveled edge...maybe 4 inch squares in a diamond pattern....but the colors are what I'm thinking of......See MoreHelp with dining room
Comments (18)I would definitely lower the chandy. Leave the chairs...they are so interesting. Add some candles to the sconces. I think the other issue is one of scale...the artwork is hung high to see it, but then, with the lower buffet, they don't relate to one another, where typically they would. Perhaps try replacing the art with something that goes the other way...taller than wide and set it lower on the wall so it can relate to the buffet. Maybe put something taller on the buffet too. If you look at the pics above posted by nosoccermom, you'll see it's often that the stuff on the buffet will overlap the art above making the entire thing more unified. Also, for me, the bare minimalist is not my style, but I get it. Still I would like to see some cushions on the chairs and perhaps a bench or ottoman on either side of the buffet with a fabric cushion, just to add more warmth...and they could be pulled up to the table too if you have a larger crowd....See MoreFeels like something’s missing...
Comments (15)Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I was afraid to post a photo where the signage was too small, and have included a photo of the full wall in this comment. My issue is the plantation shutters on either side of the decor - if I go bigger than this, I’m concerned that I would lose the ability to leave the shutters open if I wanted. Grateful for all of your ideas!...See MoreNeed Help Finding Easter Baskets for 20 and 30-Somethings
Comments (28)@User perhaps I missed this, but what is causing the pleural effusion? My dad had a thoracentesis and it did help, but within days, he had another issue. This was all due to his Congestive Heart Failure. If I am overstepping by asking this, just ignore. It just all rings so close to home, having gone through similar issues with Dad last year. Praying for good news for your mom....See Moretatts
