help I hate the color of these schluter and huge gap at wall
Comments (13)the reason I am not using schluter trim is no matter what color/style, it still looks like a picture frame around everything with too much contrast. too bad you didn't ask for mitered tile corners with a minimal gap for continuous grout lines/color. you could try using a matte finish spray paint to tone the glossy, but in wet area might not be permanent solution? maybe a paint deglosser will etch the finish to a dull matte. As for the tile sticking off wall, to get the tiles flush on a wall that may not have been plumb ( level vertically) they had to keep building up morter for tiles to be flush. not optimal, but it happens. I do hope there is waterproofing on walls. hot mop is only the floor. drywall, cement board or anything else behind tile without waterproofing membrane will still leach moisture through grout lines and rot wood structure beneath!...See MoreI hate my ikea couch but--
Comments (13)within a year or two, where you sit will become evident. the foam cushions will sink, the cheap fabric will stretch, you'll get wrinkles, divots, etc. To me these are throw away sofas. Have you considered Article? They look great, seem to be built well, and are quite reasonable For ex, this guy is 1299. because the cushions are separate, (compared to that ikea w/the longer foam cushion) you won't see the sagging and drooping as much as the one cushion) I got the black leather sofa/bench, and the walnut chair, but the sofa comes in plenty of colors and a few diff material options. The leather is actually very nice, and not the cheap bonded stuff. comes in a loveseat size too, (I really like this warm, med. gray color and material. will go w/everything) or w/a chaise: https://www.article.com/browse/1/sofas Take advantage of the 3 months, no interest payments, and pay the balance on the 4th month! I don't know what you mean "I don't know where I'll be in a year", but unless you think you may end up in prison or in a small trailer, this sofa should be able to go with you!...See MoreHelp me decorate the wall behind my off enter couch!
Comments (42)@kathy rie you might want to see if you can make the arrangement work that Dane Austin shows. If you look there isn't a large amount of space between the table and the seating so pulling the seating closer together might make it work with a rectangular coffee table instead of the square one so the coffee table isn't as wide. Although your furniture does look deep. It is hard to tell what the dimensions are in the space, but the dining area looks to be roughly 12 ft wide to the edge of the fireplace, so it is possible it could work if your furniture isn't extra deep....See MoreI hate my new couch
Comments (28)something tells me that opening those blinds would automatically make that room look better. if you need privacy, consider replacing them with sheers, white drapes, or both. (if you want to keep the blinds for occasional use, consider installing curtain panels at the left and right to trim this out. plus, it'll hide the blinds when they're open.) once you start to get rugs, art, accessories, this place will start to come together. get some big plants! see if you can find a better place for the pet food, or some kind of nice looking furniture that would partly conceal it. this could double as a side table for the couch. imagine something like this below, but a more modern design. this might need to be custom. I don't think it would even need a handle for the door....See MoreRelated Professionals
