Darn, that is really hard to read...I found it on pinterest but when I click the link it says the paint colours are being updated. Sigh...I'm not sure this is going to help very much.....but maybe a pinterest search will give you more ideas. "paint colours to match carrera" is what I searched

249 Idyll ways to get organized
Comments (102)I just got off the treadmill so thot Id take a break. This cold, damp, dreary day is really affecting me. Im trying to stay busy so I dont get into food I dont need to be eating. Im going to reward myself for staying good by watching a tv show I recorded this weekend while Dh was watching football. Love that DVR. I saw a curio cabinet at Costco Id love to buy. Took DH to see it and am hoping hell agree its worth stretching the budget for. I even measured the van and itll fit! Well see. Eden, Im so glad Eve is doing well and I hope that continues. Im a little concerned about Bullet. He is now 9 lbs., down from 12 thats quite a weight loss in 2 yrs. As instructed, Ive been watching his eating, drinking, etc.,habits. He didnt eat much over the weekend. Since he deposited a fur ball this am, so Im hoping that is what the problem was. He just seems older and slower to me since his surgery. Im hoping its just effects from the anesthetic. Janie, it was good to hear from you. Hope your Mom continues to do well and recovers quickly. Marlene, don't work too hard. Those trade shows are killers. I always needed at least 2 wks. to recover -- one from the pace, the second to catch on stuff that accumulated back in the office. Deanne, I agree w/Marlene. I think you look wonderful. Why dont you give it a rest and see of you just need to let your body catch up. I truly think that might be what's happening. Cynthia, count me in for the group rate on a plastic surgeon. I need a full body lift, pulling everything up by my scalp, lol. I, too, love the picture I got of you and the kitties basking in the sun coming in the kitchen windows. And I know what you mean about kitties and paint. I was doing some staining touchup Sun. and a really nosy kitty was doing his best to get into it. I dont think "walnut stain" would improve his appearance at all! It's not his color. When he was a kitten, he fell into the wallpaper paste bucket. Now, that was a real mess! Yep, I know the pros and cons to the control freaky thing. As Da would say, Le Sigh! Martie, thats great about your new "favorite client". It sounds like you make your job interesting. Cant wait to hear how the Logees get together goes. Wish I could come. Thanks for sharing the info on your DB. I feel very badly for you having to take on that responsibility. But it has to be a huge relief to your parents. Mental illness is just so sad for everyone concerned and I wish more research was being done on it. Babs, now why did you have to tell us that!!! Hopefully, the almanac is WRONG! Yuk to colder temps in May. I prefer to go gently into the seasons but thats not been the trend these last few yrs. Sue, Happy Birthday to Tom! Sorry you didnt get a day off Monday. Hi to all. Dont want to bring anyone down, so Im going to go do something for me under full spectrum light to help with this funk. TTYL, friends. Honey...See MoreCustom Cabinet HELP!
Comments (3)I suggest you get a second and third quote at least, then you'll know if that is in the range. Maybe it is called semi-custom, but I had a great experience ordering mine from a kitchen and bath store who took my specs and ordered my vanity from a kitchen cabinet company (Executive Kitchens). They have a door style called VEneer Slab in their Contemporary line that looks like what you want. It took 8 weeks and was built to my exact specs for about $850 and was 19" deep and 22.5" wide. I believe all cabinet companies would do this and you would see veneer and stain samples at the Cabinet store. At this link to their site below I believe you can find a local dealer through "Contact Us". Now you know exactly what you want so the next quotes won't get new extra steps added on piece by piece. I suggest take the time to visit a kitchen cabinet store with photos from Staceyneil's vanity and all the details you can print about the Godmorgon vanity you like, and the legs. If you are working with a contractor they would install it when it is ready as part of the job. Good luck!

Comments (37)redroze, I had my first son at 32 years, my second son at 35 years and my daughter at almost 40. I'm glad you decided to begin the journey : ) Careers can't compare to family. There's so many ways to have both these days anyway. When I had my first I was working as a sales rep with yellow pages advertising. I quit when my son was almost 2 to start my own business, a childcare center. The business afforded me the opportunity to be an entrepreneur while being with my kids. Once my kids were too old to be at the childcare center, I arranged it so that I didn't have to be there every day (I have a staff of 20 teachers plus a director and cleaning service). This arrangement gave me the freedom to drive my kids to their after school sports, rehearsals, lessons, etc. Now one son lives in R.I. and the other is in college in Boston. And I drive my daughter daily from CT to NY and back for pre-professional ballet classes. And as our lives have evolved, my schedule has been able to accommodate it . . . I've been very fortunate. My only regret is that they grow up. I'd give anything to be able to do it all again from the beginning. I'm jealous that you're just beginning. I hope to someday have grandkids swimming in my new tub : )...See MoreWhat paint color for this ugly 1950's bathroom?
Comments (159)I will disagree that the seam will be obvious. Not if the pattern is matched properly. Moreover, the curtain will be large enough to have some gentle folds in it so the seam won't be noticeable. The other alternative is to do a double shower rod. The outer one is for the decorative curtain which can be smaller than a regular shower curtain and hangs there to add color and hide the plumbing and the waterproof curtain. The inner rod is for a waterproof curtain (white, clear, whatever) which slides the length of the tub for when in use. Mom did that in her bathroom where the fabric she loved was a remnant and didn't have enough to do the whole shower curtain. By doing so, you aren't limited to shower curtains, but can either make your own panel or buy any drapery panel you want of an appropriate length. In this example, they used the decorative fabric on either side with a pullback, but note the other rod underneath for the waterproof curtain. Here, the panels hang straight. Here is an example of a panel on just one side. Note the outer rod doesn't even reach the length of the tub....See Moremakethechange

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoHere is my BM Horizon bathroom. I have Carrara counter. Fake calacatta porcelain in the shower. Walnut woodwork and vanity. I love it. the floor has browns and blues.
This picture almost makes the color look white, but its not:
I don't know if this helps or not. It is a very pale color as you can see. It is a nice blue with a hint going towards green, but you can hardly tell it. Look at the aqua container on the counter, to compare the blue of the wall. I painted the ceiling in the same color and I like it that way.

5 years agoI took some quick photos. I posted before about my counter and floor being different marbles. I've gotten over that but still kind of wanted to pick up some of that blue in the floor without going blue blue which is what I got with gray tint.
The first photo horizon is on the bottom and paper white is on the top Second photo horizon is on the right. Ignore the third photo. Couldn't seem to delete it but it shows the current color graytint. Since this is my 3 rd or 4th time painting this bathroom, I'd like to get it right. The horizon seems like a good match and pale but I've read it goes green as well as blue....Thank you enduring for posting your pictures of horizon. It looks just like I would want it to look. Your bathroom is beautiful. Is that a vertical towel bar? Love that. I'm looking up the suggested colors from others right now... Thanks.gpaja

4 years agoI did paint it horizon and although it was pretty, I felt it read too green somehow and it didn't go with the blue cast in my floor. I ended up going with my original color, and the color of my trim which is chantilly lace from Benjamin Moore. It's a white with a cool look but seems to work great with the floor and the countertop. I'm adding, slowly, some color here and there and it has warmed it up. Here are some photos. Ignore the exposed piping on the radiator. Just had that installed (finally) and haven't painted the pipes yet. Out of all the colors I used in the bathroom that had color, I think my favorite was paper white, also from Benjamin Moore. It did, however, also have an ever so slight green cast. Love to hear what you end up with
