Updating my late 90s kitchen with weird peninsula - help!
Comments (21)Cool, Anglophilia. I didn't get a KD for my new kitchen because I (like you) didn't trust HD or other big boxes on doing it, and nor did I seem (as far as I know/knew) to have a KD in this area not associated with a line or so of products that I'd be forced into choosing from. Instead, I basically utilized the resources here at the Kitchen Forum to hone down some of my thought processes, and they helped me make a better kitchen than I would otherwise have created on my own. (Under counter drawers; ice, water, stone, fire; landing spot before fridge, induction range, a prep sink, even the brand of sink I went with... a few other things like the entry to the pantry...) Yes, I didn't take every bit of advice, but I certainly appreciated it all. If I knew of a reliable KD in my area who I knew up front (this is hard to determine...) wasn't promoting his or her own line, I may have considered. And again, as long as I have the choice to do certain specific elements to my own needs, after fully considering suggestions I will usually take, a KD could be very useful. EDIT: As of this date, are there things I wish I had done that I neglected? No. Well, discounting the things the GC didn't do that I requested, but I'm so done with 98% of the build (most right but ... ) that I no longer care about those little specific things... place for vertical pans... the amount of drawers vs cabs I originally specified... I gotta remain focused elsewhere....See MoreHelp! Need ideas for updating my early 90's Colorado home
Comments (1)My sister had a very generic back yard/patio. A few years after moving in they decided to re-do the entire back area. She had 3 landscape firms draw up plans, explaining that she wanted each to provide their best ideas and bid on the project. She picked the one that best fit her needs, but did end up incorporating some ideas from all 3....See MoreUpdate to 90s Kitchen/Living Room
Comments (0)My house is dated, very 90s with the original oak cabinets and cream carpet. Hard to tell in the pictures but the original yellowish tan has faded to a green olive and the wall paper is a good 20 years old. Need to update this space. Considering replacing the carpet with wood floor, and repainting the walls a different color. Will be getting new stainless steel appliances in the next year. Any suggestions on how to update this space and what colors you would go with?...See MoreInterior wall color dilemma - 90's house update
Comments (5)Hire a color consultant for advice. I don't think the current white is right--too much contrast--but there are warmer whites and other colors that will bring out the beauty of the wood. Here's a great, classic Houzz article on wall paints that work with wood. Your floors are beautiful and echo the wood trim. https://www.houzz.com/magazine/11-terrific-paint-color-matches-for-wood-details-stsetivw-vs~9025200...See Morehavingfun
