Guest rooms...yay or nay?
Comments (14)I like most of them. I've always had a queen-size bed in the guest room, but I like the idea of two twins. The two twins provide more versatility. But I suppose it really depends on the combinations of guests you host most regularly. One thing I'll say about those rooms -- they almost all seem much larger than any guest room I've ever had. Like jn3344 said, my guest room tends to hold some of those things I can't bear to part with, but won't fit elsewhere (currently a chair, a cedar chest and an antique filing cabinet). Once I accommodate those things, there's not much room left for design extras....See MoreQuarter sawn oak-painted uppers yay or nay
Comments (145)North Iowa here.. What no one on this thread understands is there are no "green spaces" here. We have Habitat ReStore. We have Menard's or maybe Lowe's or Home Depot. Iowa people help each other all the time. Craig's list has junk. I did a kitchen gut 10+ years ago with Menard's hickory cabinets and laminate counters. No back splash. Existing Vinyl floor. Used my just fine white appliances. My house was built in 1880 so no open concept here. My kitchen is a room. A small room by comparison to almost all kitchens on here. I had a handyman who worked cheap. I had known him for at least 30 years so when I left for work I knew he'd deal with whatever came along. He was gone when I got home and I did clean up. I also did the gutting of the old kitchen; dead mice in the light fixture but he warned me about the potential so I was prepared. Maybe I was very, very lucky but I got a great kitchen for $10,000. I don't know what inflation would do to that price today. Compared to what I started with I now have a palace. You are a long way from final plans and I think you will do just fine. It takes a lot of price comparison shopping to get there. And shopping on eBay and Menard's sales. Don't over look the consignment shops. If you do Menard's cabinets wait until they have the 11% off. If you visit the cabinet people there regularly and tweak your layout, you will find people you really like and who like you and they will tell you when the sales are coming up. You can also make your own laminate counters for cheap. I didn't do that 4 inch backsplash thing and even though I didn't do any other kind of backsplash, I'm glad I didn't add it. Right now I have wallpaper but I'm thinking I might tile some paneling that's cut to fit so that if I get tired of it I can pull it off and put something else there....See MoreCarpet Murals...Yay or nay?
Comments (30)it is very Russian to me too somehow...dachas and all. When you rent a very small basic room you know..and it will have a rug on the wall, with swans or deers.. or swans and deers..)) could be cool in a right setting though I suppose. Less home, more ..I don't know..speakeasy? I do like idea of borrowing images for murals etc, I look at the sites that do that.. but somehow would always rather prefer something made by an artist, a real deal. It's just very expensive....See MoreHalf bath wainscoting yay or nay
Comments (7)Sorry, I don't have a photo and we're away from home. Also, ours is actually beadboard we had installed in the laundry room and half bath. It's less formal than the pretty panel and frame that I think of as wainscoting, such as in your inspiration photos. Either has its place and can be nice IMO. I'm not a pro but think you'd be really happy with what I see in your photos....See MoreBrittany Lyons Interiors
