Need help picking BM paint colors!!
Comments (3)Thank you oilpainter....so your son re-painted the kitchen sage green? Or did he re-paint the dining room? Which card was he picking the green color from? Yes I have heard of that as well, using differnt values off of the same card for open floor plans and using different punches of accent colors in each room to add interest. My sister in law did this in her house. She has a center hall colonial, just like us, and she used different values of a taupey brown color all throughout the house. In the dining room she put a darker value of the taupey color above her chair rail and below the chair rail used a dark navy blue. In her sitting room she has the taupey color above the chair rail, with a deep dark maroonish color under the chair rail. So all the rooms seem unified and timeless but each room as its own distinct look with the accent color below the chair rail and in her drapes and furnishings....See MoreBedding questions
Comments (51)Thanks for the suggestions! They are beautiful sets but a tad too formal and Trinity is right, I need cotton, silk, linen-- something natural. I admit that the Lyon set I like is also formalish-- but it is all natural and I would use the duvet cover and shams along with white shams and a white skirt. That still may be a tad formal for me. I did stop at Tuesday Morning today (no Home Goods here) and saw some BEAUTIFUL sferra sheets and matelasse quilts. I had seen their sheets before but never their quilts. Wow-- the quality is about 3 notches above any other matelasse I've ever had. Unfortunately none were the right color or size but I'll stop back again in a few days. Thank you all so much for your recommendations. It always amazes me how quickly everyone pitches in to help another here....See MorePosting my samples
Comments (21)kitchendetective--I did a search on Rosso Verona and found Sue B's kitchen from 2006; is that the one you mean? That is one amazing slab! We are going into this with eyes open: We had a honed rojo alicante tile that we marked off into sections and applied Coca Cola, lemon juice, ketchup, vinegar, etc. No surprise--deep etching everywhere. Sooooo, we're going to try to protect it the best we can, at least until the "sticker shock" from the remodel wears off: the working end of the island will be almost completely covered by a freestanding butcher block cutting board, and the eating/buffet end will benefit from use of place mats (us) and straw mats (buffet). Why get marble if you're going to cover it? Well, we wanted that color in the center of the room (not the dark perimeter granite), and it'll just be covered when there's food/drink around, and that won't be all the time. raehelen--I'm glad we share such excellent taste! We love those Pyramid pulls and knobs; we used them in our master bath three years ago. ngng--Thanks for the kind words. Progress pics will follow, when there's something "visible" to show. Right now it's all "in-the-wall" stuff....See MoreMonochromatic Color Scheme - picture I saw on here
Comments (1)Could it be the post on the Decorating Forum titled Favorite Neutral Colors that is now on Page 4. It has some pictures of bedrooms but I didn't see the words Monochromatic mentioned. You can do a search - putting those words in and see which ones come up....See Moredgarstang
