Comments (2)Need measurements of the space, but before you buy anything, remove the round rug and turn the table. The space is more generous than yours, but this picture shows what I mean....See MoreKitchen Remodel In-Progress: What color/style tile floor?
Comments (11)Thanks everyone for your comments! @Patricia Colwell Yes we know the old tile will have to be removed, along with the subfloor. I think at some point previous owners might have put tile over the hardwood, which is really unfortunate because we really like the hardwood we have: Ripping up the tile will definitely destroy whatever is underneath. Our appliances are pretty easy to push around so not too concerned about that (dishwasher is new and a bit of pain to disconnect, but we moved it temporarily when we were painting the cabinets). We want to order new appliances soon, but I know the supply chain is all screwed up so it might be a while until those show up, hoping the new floor will be in well before that. I was thinking a shelf above the fridge would be a good place for just a plant and maybe cookbooks, I just think it would look odd without anything above it... We are pretty set on tile, we just have not picked one out yet. I don't think a pattern would work in our house, but I do really like it other kitchens I've seen! I really liked the small white tiles with black border in the picture below, but I've been convinced cleaning the grout would be a nightmare... @calidesign Completely agree, we are leaning towards a 12x24 tile in some kind of warm earthy color, its just a matter of narrowing it down to a specific one... @Beth Thanks for so many suggestions! I agree, we are staying away from 3x6 subway tile. I think a narrower, 2x8 or 2x10 is the way to go for us. We had our eyes on one very similar to the Cloe tile, and I was thinking white but now you have me considering more blue... And I do like the chevron and herringbone patterns, I just dont think we have enough wall space to really appreciate it... Idk about blue floor tile, that might be too much for our kitchen. I'll check out tilebar, I'm really liking those concrete-esque examples! For such a narrow space, do you think 24x24 would be too big? I feel like we could only fit like 2.5 tiles between the cabinets and that might look weird... Thats why were thinking 12x24....See MoreOpen Kitchen/Dining Area: style help, wood tones, dining table
Comments (8)I know this post is over a year old... Wanted to compliment you on your choice of Table! I have a 48" Round Pedastal Table that has a huge leaf! I live in a small aprtment in the city and love the fact that my table is compact for everyday but can accomodate guests. I am on the hunt for an 8' ROUND rug fo rmy table and came across your post! GREAT CHOICE in RUG! You were asking for advice on any other improvements as well... I absolutley love that sideboard area...Was thinking instead of the cute ledges with pictures...I can't help but feel that corner is screaming for some reflection and light... How about a tall arched mirror..or even a rectangular window type mirror... (Link: Arched Mirror, Another Choice...)a little less wide than the buffet and tall in scale... and a cute accent/buffet lamp would be awesome! It could offer some beautiful reflection and some accent lighting... Just a thought. I have found some really cool mirrors at Hobby Lobby and Homegoods! What a beautiful space! I love the fireplace...I also love the clock over the fireplace... I'm a huge clock person...AND Its in a very practical place! Thanks for being a Houzzer and offerirng up a beautiful space for us to admire! Cheers!...See MoreNeed to repaint...need updated look for kitchen, dining room, foyer.
Comments (32)I agree with #3 (Greek Villa). #4 (Steamed Milk) looks good in that array because it’s closest to what’s already on your walks and woodwork, but that also means that using that color will give you more of the same feeling you have now. #3 is actually quite neutral, but will bring a freshness and a lightness to the space....See Morerantontoo
