Need help deciding finish on breakfast table light
Comments (9)I'm laughing, because even though I will make literally, a dozen trips to many different paint stores to pick the "right" shade, not to mention, spending $$ on samples to paint on my wall, it would have NEVER occured to me to worry about my stainless frig, DW, or cooktop, in choosing a light. I want the light to go with the whole "feel" of the kitchen. And my cabinet handles are all oil rubbed bronze so a light would most likely be coppery or orb. Love your breakfast area. Love the copper color. Red...See MoreI need help deciding which heat pump is the best brand please
Comments (8)What is location? I can make recommendations if interested. New Heat Pump System Here is my general spec sheet for new system. both outside and inside units should be replaced to have a properly matched system. 15 SEER, 12.5+ EER, 9 HSPF best matching VS air handler full BTUs in both cooling and heating for your rated size R-410a refrigerant(same as Puron) scroll compressor preferred electronic demand defrost preferred thermostat with "dehumidify on demand" feature staged backup heat strips new and correctly sized refrigerant lineset 10 yr warranty on parts and compressor you want a thorough inspection of your ductwork system. size, overall condition, supply and return lines, insulation qualities, leak test, etc. any hot/cold spot issues in your home should be addressed. My personal recommendation is Trane/AmStd and Carrier/Bryant. Depending on your location, I would not purchase a new system that did not have electronic demand defrost. I would not have any of the brands other than Trane you are considering. IMO...See MoreNeed help deciding on which color to chose.
Comments (45)Hi Sheila :) I think we both registered with GW about the same time didn't we? Oh, I just looked. You registered in 2001. I registered in 2002. We've been around for awhile! :) I'm not as active here as I was during our kitchen/office remodel in 02 and the entry/guest room remodel in 04 and then big remodel...more kitchen, LR to DR, Master Bdrm and Master bath in 07. But was just in and out, reading mostly after that till DH's bathroom remodel in 2015. Nice to see your name. Hey, do you remember Claire de Luna? I haven't seen her name in a long time. I used to have her email address but lost it a few years ago in a computer crash. Thanks for the shoutout!...See MoreWhich General Finishes High Performance sheen to use?
Comments (4)I used Enduro-Var on my kitchen table. It was sanded to bare wood, stained with GF and then sealed with 3 coats. As kitchen tables do, it gets a lot of use and abuse, wiped down all the time and the finish is perfect. I've used a lot of finishing products in my life and this one by far out performs anything else I've used. I have the equipment to do a spray finish but did a wipe on application in the satin finish. I also used this product on the inside of my mahogany front door (unstained) and it's gorgeous. Highly recommend. https://generalfinishes.com/professional-products/water-based-topcoats-and-sanding-sealers/enduro-var...See MoreAmanda
