Poll: What's your favorite habit?
Comments (26)Okay then, I'll be the contrarian and focus on naught but the title of the thread, if for no other reason than to break it up with some levity. My favourite habit is to survey the assembled Hosta masses with a glass of red wine in my hand. There, I've said it, I know many of you thought it..... However, to stay on the topic, I'd have to say vase shaped, seeing as I have a thing for red legs....See MoreEye catching hosta flowers

Comments (28)I do like your fixture selections too. If that is the bronze you were looking at, it is not as dark as what I was picturing. My island fixture was called bronze but looking at it, you would think it was black. If you look close enough you can find a few golden highlights. Yours has some of the warmth I was looking to wood to pick up without being harsh. There is still a softness that ties in with your silver and blue-grey. It will also tie in with your floors and island. It also looks like it would be great with that mosaic tile. I do think you can mix your metals if you pay careful attention the lines and style. I have stainless appliances, pewter hardware on my white cabinets and black on my cherry island. Since your island will be a very different finish, you can use a different pull on those cabinets and bring in a finish similar to your lighting. Look at pewter for your white cabinet pulls, or especially if you want them all to be the same. Pewter finishes and the things done with them tend to look older and softer while your nickel can go more modern and slick. With your color palette and seeing those fixtures, I think I'd like the older, slightly more rustic feel of the pewter. The kind of comfortable you get with a favorite pair of jeans. Know what I mean? I see what you were thinking with the tile, but it just doesn't work for me. I tend to like glossy finishes and white or lighter colors for a splash. I want them to reflect light rather than suck it up and let it die under my upper cabinets. I have seen a few dark splashes I like, but they tend to be rich color, the same as the counters and/or pretty contemporary from what I can remember. If you look at a white or light color ceramic or glass, you could use a liner in the other colors you are using or even a metallic liner so you have a bit of color and detail without doing a lot. That's similar to what I did. As for that pony wall, make it the height you want it or need it to be for function and visual balance in the room. Don't worry too much about the tile size. The tile setter can figure out how to fade a cut tile into the top or bottom row and give it all a finished look....See MorePoll! What is your style? Vote!
Comments (73)8 Craftsman My first house back in 1987 was a craftsman. My second house was a Victorian/Colonial Revival. It wasn't me. My condo is decorated in craftsman/asian and we are building a craftsman style home. I was doing craftsman before you could find craftsman things like lighting, shaker cabinets, etc....See MoreM Miller
