ISO cotton duvet cover or comforter - please help!
Comments (2)Credomk, welcome to GW! You're right about getting some great ideas here. Have you thought of painting your furniture for a different look? Maybe you're not finding bedding because the furniture is a little outdated, and the bedding seems 'out of sync' with it. Penney's has some wonderful duvets as well as comforters and bedspreads, and they're not over-priced. Good luck. ;o)...See MorePlease help ....Is there such a comforter/bedding
Comments (6)Wow! Thank you for the nice welcome and your responses. I was hoping to hear that some bedding that say dry clean can be washed too, but I was not sure of which fabric I could get away with, without making a costly mistake. So sorry no pictures yet. I am looking for striped bedding in the gold/spice, green and red colors. Could even be solid. I like quilts too but I get so cold and was hoping the puffy comforter will do. I am hoping to make red my accent color. My favorite color is green tho! I haven't looked at Lands End and will be looking there soon. Will post a picture of the curtains that I am kinda stuck to go with. Got them at Target on clearance. Now I am not so sure anymore, but can't return them so have to work with them. They are the Waverly flowerly ones with the gold/red tones. Thanks again, Rutty...See MoreUpdate TRADITIONAL kitchen to TRANSITIONAL...PLEASE HELP!
Comments (11)Not a pro. Really nice kitchen. Cabinets look well made ... that overhang atop the overhead cabinets would bug me though. I'd have wanted a flat top or, perhaps, a row of smaller cabinet doors above the doors below -- but made to look like a wall with square raised panels the same width as the decorative trim on the doors below -- and without any hardware so the storage is "hidden" storage for plastic storage containers that could be reached with a tool and/or for items used less often than most (seasonal) Would definitely paint all the kitchen cabinets one color -- likely a "winter white"; ... alternately, you could paint all the cabinets one color and paint the kitchen walls and all the walls seen from the kitchen -- living/dining -- a different shade of the same color. If you remove the backsplash behind the sink, yes, you could gain more countertop space if there is a granite bar a pro can affix to the current countertop by the sink with a smooth look, however, ... you lose the outlets that are there on the backsplash -- though the one on the left above the dishwasher might be movable to the left wall beside the dishwasher; and ... you might consider whether or not you want to keep that tiny bit of privacy for your dirty dishes, whether or not you keep any bar on the back side of that peninsula; and ... do you already have comfortable bar stools and do you actually use any bar there. Let us know how your project goes....See Moreformal living room furniture- elegant, yet comfortable/functional
Comments (5)Formal/elegant for a formal living room space, yet also functional and comfortable for lounging, TV, etc. Uh, that encompasses a lot of choices! And, you provide no picture of the space, the size, the kitchen area, or any thing else necessary to advise you? Like color? Budget? Preference on style? is there a fireplace? what kind? how will seating be arranged? do you need a console? do you want a farmhouse style, but on the formal side? or do you want more formal without farmhouse? do you want muted tones or color? maureen gave you some nice choices, but honestly, without pics AND more infor from you, we're throwing darts in the dark....See Moregroveraxle
