To paint or not to paint? Questions about wood paneling....
Comments (24)That entry is absolutely exquisite! Whatever you do, keep that space the way it is. I do enjoy seeing well preserved specimens of high end mid century interiors. I agree with others about living in the house for a while before you do anything. We bought a mostly unadulterated Victorian, and we had fantasies of getting a bunch of stuff done before moving in (5 months from close to move in), but ended up only refinishing some floors (low impact change). Now I'm super glad we didn't try to do anything - we're getting a sense of how we live in this house (it turns out we use the butler stairs A LOT, and my husband had wanted to tear them out!) and a sense of the small things that wouldn't have even occurred to us before we'd spent time living here, like the fact that we need to add a second ceiling light at the far end of the hall, that we need some more electrical outlets in the dining room, etc....See MoreShould I paint lower cabinets a darker color or keep white?
Comments (22)Thanks for all the comments. I chose to go quartz instead of solid surface. I'm getting Uptown Gray https://www.hanstonequartz.com/products/uptown-gray Here is the current turquoise color of the kitchen wall, Gem Turquoise. Taking the advice of most, I've determined a new color scheme for the kitchen going with a lighter turquoise/aqua. I plan to paint the lower cabinets the light gray (Pixel White) color and then leave the upper cabinets white. The darker gray to the left is the quartz. The new question now is should I stick with the brushed nickel hardware and faucet, or go matte black to give some more contrast??...See MoreCurrent: knotty pine walls. Should we keep, white wash or paint white?
Comments (18)There have been some great suggestions, but I feel like we’re working in a vacuum here. What is your vision for your home? Although this has focused on the knotty pine, whether to paint it, and what flooring to pick, so much of the process is about the style you want, the furniture you have (or will buy), the colors you like, and the budget. I could go with light oak flooring, old Oriental rugs, nautical touches, red and navy and off-white, but I could also pick a dark green marmoleum floor, Morris chairs, black painted bookcases, a more rustic vibe, and plaids. How do you see it all coming together?...See Morepaint it grey or keep it white?
Comments (8)I would pick the darkest color out of the counter and paint the mirror frame that color. You'll probably have to get a paint fandeck to match it, since you can't really take a counter to the paint store! While you are there, ask for advice on painting the mirror frame. I know you said that you bought the mirror a couple of months ago and can't return it. With some stores being more generous with their return policies due to COVID, you might be able to return it anyway. Especially if you are really just exchanging it for another one that would work better. Can't hurt to ask....See MoreRelated Professionals
