Textured plaster walls keep or fix them
Comments (2)Had a house with textured plaster walls, loved the character. For me, it would increase the value of the home. Yes, I would pay more to have those old beautiful plaster walls....See MorePaint question Keep panels white or paint grey?
Comments (23)Rachel, so much better with casing! Are you going to paint the doors the same white? I think that would look great! Then, get a tall, slim dresser that can fit under your TV for additional storage, or put the TV on taller dresser. Nice job!...See MoreBuilt ins. should I keep them or remove them?
Comments (18)Thank you for all the suggestions. Do not be sorry for saying your opinion, I have understood that everyone has different choice and likes. So I will not mind. We do not have any book collections. So I am not sure what I will be storing in them. The first photo was taken when the house was staged. To make it look that I need to but those huge books that we do not read. :). Jokes apart we will using the space as secondary TV room\entertainment area for big gathering. We already have another primary family room. I like low maintenance, with so many shelves I need to do regular dusting which I am not up for. We are painting all the windows and trims and base boars white in the room. I do not like the wood color. It make the room dark. Here are the additional photos of that room. These photos are from listing so the room looks brighter, but believe it does look this bright in reality. To explain my choice, I know adding a window seat that current height would be too high. So I wanted to reduce the height and get it to 20 inches. We may have to change the window in the future as these are really old. When we do that we can get bigger window that will match the window seat height. I hope that makes sense....See Morepaint arch trim bold color of walls or keep white?
Comments (31)"The tricky part would be where the cut off may be on the small end of the arch wall." That is what we all are dealing with...the arch should have come down to the floor, giving a true separation from one room into the other. With the chair rail wrapped into the living room and abruptly cut off is just wrong. An arch isn't a column, and visually, should be grounded. This is the only thing I could come up with: Have bookcases built on living room side. That will "explain" the chair rail. So, new bookcases, painted your trim color and the tiny wall UNDER the arch gets painted trim color (same finish). Visually, you will see white to the baseboard. One more question: which room do walk into first from the front door?...See MoreRelated Professionals
