Another request for front door color advice
Comments (10)I don't get the dark brown/black roof relationship. I'd consider painting all the dark trim a creamy off-white that harmonizes with the siding. Shutters Black Bean from Sherwin Williams. Front door could be anything in the warmer reds: a straight up warm red, a red-orange, orange, rust, terracotta - I'd defer to the slate for what direction to take for the door. Just make sure the paint store directs you to red hue family colors that are suitable to use outside. Nothing more disappointing than finding the perfect front door red and learning that it's interior only....See MoreOpinions and advice requested on tile job (Warning: lengthy)
Comments (27)I appreciate those who have stuck with me though this ordeal. I’m happy to report that the shower is done and I hope to never have to revisit this in my lifetime. I’ll let the next owner deal with tearing it out (that would make 3 times) and renovating to their taste. From this experience I’ve learned that my DH thinks I’m much too picky. Last week it got to the point that he was mad at the world and I was unfortunately the one who took the brunt of it. As I feared, he ended up in the hospital with chest pains and sky rocketing BP. I honestly think those 3 days took more out of me than when he had by-pass surgery while we were building this house. Wine is my friends. Grouting happened on Thursday and caulking on Friday. Plumber came Monday along with the painter. Today the shower doors were installed. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get my frameless door, but this is better than a shower curtain and more than half the price of the door I wanted. I’ll probably never take a shower or bath in this BR, so I’m okay with the result. And more importantly, DH is happy with the finished product. So I promised photos. Certainly not Houzz worthy, but it works. DS will be happy to have his BR back...See MoreRequesting advice for grout color
Comments (6)You are right Scottie mom, frost is best. It will blend in and give a more tranquil feel which is what I want. The colors don’t come out well in the photos but warm gray and platinum are too dark. Thanks for your input!...See MoreBacksplash advice from the Color Club requested!
Comments (15)Thanks both! Wow, those Fireclay tiles are pricey! Beautiful, but pricey (isn't that just how it goes?!). Here are some inspiration photos - the first is probably my most favorite, but let's be honest - it's a fabulous kitchen with farmhouse details, and I have a tiny galley kitchen. But I love the tile. Part of me thinks - I have such a tiny area, should I even bother trying to make it great? This kitchen is more similar to mine. Love the color, but my house has more blue (not olive). This is also very pretty tile. One thing I am concerned about is that I do not want to have a beachy look. I live in Minnesota, not the coast. I like this one because of the accent tile - I have been trying to locate 'sizzle strips' like this (or fancy liner tiles) and have struck out....See Morecat_ky
