Need help with paint color above antique oak wainscoting
Comments (10)Hi--- Benjamin Moore's White Dove or Sherwin Williams' Creamy. The room, furniture, and rug are dark, the wall will look great painted a very light cream. If you prefer a darker hue, I suggest you consider changing the rug to something lighter to add contrast in value. Hope this is helpful for you. Good Luck!...See MoreWainscoting paint advice needed on stairs
Comments (2)Paint it white like the rest of the trim work. Does that skirt/apron piece have the same projection as the rest of the flat stock on the wainscot? Keep it plain and don't add anything in the way of an ogee or routed edge on the extension part. You'll notice it for about a minute and a half and then it will fade into the background of the house. Will your balusters be stained or painted?...See Morepaining beadboard wainscoting help
Comments (23)I had wood paneling in my house for a long time and I loved it, so i can understand the reluctance to paint! In this case, I would definitely paint the beadboard and the trim a warm white. Look at the BM OC palette. I think when the other posters talk about the transition between real and faux wood, they are referring to what you are seeing too.... that the stained real wood doesn’t look right against the Pergo. Painting the beadboard will eliminate that issue. There may be a warm white that works with the Dill weed, but if you’re painting anyway it might be worth looking into a less saturated color.

Comments (10)The layout I believe would work best would NOT be an L formation as earlier mentioned. I do think it’s perfectly okay to place a couch back along the stair wall, and would do that, with another couch of the same dimensions facing it, placed along the sliding glass door of the living area. You have three sliding glass doors in that room, and will never use or need all three. It doesn’t make sense to do so. I would leave the center SGD available for easy flow, and arrange your furniture the way it works best in front of the other two SGD. If you do an L formation in the living room, it drastically limits the flow in that area. I would recommend instead to use two couches facing each other, one backed up to the SGD and the other to the stair wall. Then you could even float another short couch or two arm chairs in the center, directly facing the FP, if you wanted. Also love your color choices and the use of headboard or board and batten, as well as the painted kitchen cabinets. I am in the process right now of replacing all my kitchen cabinet doors with newly sprayed white shaker door fronts after already painting all the boxes, and it has completely transformed my space. This is the second home that I’ve done this in and the results are well worth the effort/and/or expense! It will be a lovely room when you’re finished....See MoreJJ
