2 possible solutions/options. 1 find a grey/blue in their color offering that is just right, although way too dark, meaning that is goes with both tans. Then using that too-dark color as the starter find the very lightest shade on that chip, and use that as you foyer. Add in a little more color [double formula? maybe] as needed. 2 blast it out of the water from an opposite-the-color wheel rich deep purple or something wild that just sets off the whole house. I was in a bay front house on the Chesapeake once and the lady had a stairwell painted in a fantastic purple that just made the house. Your color might not be quite so bold but try thinking outside the box.

Apparently so. Its exterior/interior in semi and i think high gloss. According to the website, its great for cabinets and trim. I called the PPG store and its $65 a gallon, so i was wondering if it was better than Advance since its more expensive. On the bright side its a lot less than the C2 for cabinets and trim @$89.99!

I wouldn't feel uncomfortable using a powder room placed where you suggest. It's not as if the door to the PR opens into the kitchen or DR. I'd go for all that storage and not give a second thought to the PR location. BUT.....this advice is coming from a person who has been likened to "trailer trash" by posters here because I have a toilet and sink in my laundry room. Despite the fact that the four of us living here are the only ones who use that toilet, that guests are directed down the hall to the proper bathroom, and that the door remains almost completely closed (can't close completely because...gasp...horror...the room also houses the litter box) during any type of large or small party, some here still think of me as trailer trash. Apparently, having a toilet in the laundry room breaks some sort of cardinal rule about which I have never once heard or read. Silly me thought converting the original laundry room, which took up the entire breakfast table wall with its huge, ugly, double bi-fold doors, to an actual room with a standard door around the corner near the back door would be better, more functional, prettier (gained a large wall in the breakfast area for art), and be less trailer trashy. We put a toilet and pedestal sink in because we garden extensively, and I have the world's smallest bladder. Having to take off all my dirty gardening clothes 22 times a day to tromp over light carpet through the whole house to get to the nearest bathroom wasn't practical. Nor did I enjoy having to get the carpet cleaner out every night after a long day outside to clean the dirt ground into the light carpet. Now, I sometimes put an old rug or towel down at the back door and can step right from the garage into the laundry room without having to remove all my dirty garments to get to the toilet. This decision was made even before having kids who like to play outside and need a bathroom. Yep, I'm trailer trash. And I'm not holding any type of bad feelings about being called that, am I? ;) Sorry for that rant. Keep the proposed PR and the storage.

When a discussion is listed under "Building a home", it is meant for new construction, not an addition or remodeling. New houses and house remodelings are two different beasts. Where is the person that designed the remodeling on this? They are the only one that knows the style and vision of the home.
