Pics please! Can't visualize!
Comments (22)This thread is just what I needed to see. Tinker your kitchen is beautiful and all of you are so helpful. tinker: what color stain did you use for cabinets and flooring? Are your cabinets maple or cherry? I also like the gold color paint you used...that is one color I'm starting to look at for my own kitchen but will it blend well going into my family room and dining room? What color did you paint your kitchen? I too am redoing my kitchen and will be refinishing and restaining my hardwood floors. The company I am using told me I had red oak floor. I have contracted with an Amish Cabinet maker and still have to decide on color of cabinets as well. Have made the decision to go with maple cabinets but have yet to make the decision on color of them. I wanted Cherry but my budget won't allow the. My dilemma is whether to stain the cabinets a white/cream with glaze because I've had white and have grown found of that or to change it up and stain them something like tinker has. I'm just wondering whether dark or light cabinets give more options for chosing paint color and granite countertops? I know very soon, my husband will ask, "what color paint" and rush me to make a decision that I might regret. Paint is very hard for me to pick out. Should I have countertops picked before paint? I haven't even looked at those yet...figured I'd wait till closer to finish line for that. I'm going to post two links for you all. One is of my kitchen before and during (there is no after yet) and the other link is to my house and how its painted and decorated for suggestions to a paint color suggestion for my kitchen and whether I should stain my new maple cabinets or have them painted and glazed. Too many decisions....you guys are awesome!!

Comments (8)Is the buffet the tall black piece in the back? I'm seeing a disconnect between that, the brown furniture and the white claw feet of the table. I would definitely stain the feet brown. Please change the light fixture for something less Victorian. If you plan to leave the table against the wall on the right I would take all the clutter off it and find something decorative to put on it. Does the bench have to have the material draped over it? Find some curtain panels for each side of the two windows, making the rods long enough that the panels don't cover the windows and whatever structure is underneath the back window. Finally, a beautiful patterned rug, perhaps an Oriental, that covers most of the floor would pull everything together, assuming you have enough room that the chairs will be on the rug when they're pulled back and that this will still leave at least one foot of flooring all the way around. It would be a good idea to post more pictures from different angles to get a more complete idea of this room....See MoreHelp.... Can't figure out how to decorate my living room wall
Comments (108)Roopa if you bought that oriental rug with the bright red and the aqua background, I would go with a pale aqua or pale blue wall. Off white, pale yellow or cream works very well too. It's the daytime light with all the beautiful windows you have to feel airy during the day and a pleasing wall color to look at night and enjoy, not overpowering!...See MorePlease help me figure out how to make this living room flow!
Comments (16)Some thoughts: --Move sofa to face fireplace to create a walkway into the home. Place sofa far enough back so you don't have to crane your neck to watch TV placed over fireplace. (I rarely suggest that, but that could solve your entryway problem.) --Bring angled chairs in closer to sofa to create conversational grouping with front feet of all pieces on the rug. To make entryway more functional, place a narrow sofa table/console behind sofa. --Get sturdy nesting coffee tables that can be used as side table next to sofa. Pull out when guests come. --LooK for baskets for bottom two shelves of your Dad's bookcase and put kids' toys there. --Put your painting above your blue console....See Moremasurel123
