Need HONEST opinion on turquoise/teal stools
Comments (53)Why don't you try painting one of the chairs you have to see what you like? You could try painting one chair with this coloration in mind. Except do the chair in red and leave the seat color you have. I tried for some visuals here to explain what I meant in a previous post above. I know others have mentioned black or stainless but to me it would just be adding another color to the mix. The picture below is nothing like your kitchen but it does have red stools next to a red island. If the kitchen was like yours and had teal/turquoise accents in the back ground one could get away with a teal seat color weather it be the same as yours or a bit darker. I think you can also get a basic idea on how black or stainless stools would not look right in the mix and could just look cluttered. If you paint one chair as suggested above and like the colors but not the chair there are a few other stool companies who do red. Bago Luma is one off the top of my head (although pricey). They have a few styles besides this plus different seat cover picks but I wanted to show the red. Or, this......See Moreneed honest opinion about backsplash
Comments (28)If you're big on midcentury modern, which these cabs invoke (because they're rather teak-like and the grain runs left-right, if I recall correctly) I'd suggest something that looks like hand-made rough ceramics (but NOT distinctly ethnic). Even if most of the tiles are smooth up to date rectangles or squares, a horizontal strip of something more earthy might work. Your challenge will be to merge whites with the browns. Or is the "white" more creamy? I also like the idea of some kind of herringbone to add an angle without going Moorish. If you could stand real rough stone (put stainless behind stove and use lots of sealer on the rest of the wall?), irregular narrow chunks of stone massed in the space, which is common look in tile store displays right now, might add distinction. Perhaps same color tone as your countertop but in rough stone?...See Moreneed honest opinions about wall art. pics inside:
Comments (39)I think it is very hard to determine what speaks to you when it comes to art, but I am not loving the pieces you have picked for the side of the thermostat. I agree with the others that they seem to be rather predictable. I keep on going back to the orange pillow which I love. I really would like to see that color represented on that long wall in some way. I am also envisioning some piece of "furniture/something?" on that long wall between the chair and bookcase - as others have suggested. To me the room seems as if there is too much going on in the other three areas especially with those beautiful windows, and this long wall is very lacking. I don't think the desk is really adding much interest. Keep looking. Les, don't mean to hijack here, but I am curious if you are on the east coast like me (CT). It is so peaceful and I have the luxury of sleeping as late as I like. I have always loved seeing the sunrise - not from getting up early, but from still being up from the night before. Like you I try to break the habit, but it is too tempting to read till daybreak. Just want to say how much I enjoy your critiques....See MoreYour honest opinion about it my decorating
Comments (9)As long as you love it, what other people think doesn't mater. The greatest praise I want on my home is that someone feels warm and comfortable in my home. Thankfully I have received the comment. I don't want a home that looks like it came out of a magazine and is look at me but don't touch me. From your pictures your home looks warm and comfortable....See Morephunkeemum
