8 ft. ceilings...don't like either choice
Comments (21)I guess it's personal choice but I think it actually makes a room look bigger to go up to the ceiling! Here are some choices you should have: 1. Use 30" uppers with crown molding (lots of open space above) 2. Use 36" uppers; fill with 2pc crown molding (6" high) 3. Use 39" uppers; fill with one or two pc. crown molding (3" high) A 2 pc. molding is preferred due to unlevel ceilings and floors...gives more wiggle room 4. Go custom and use whatever height uppers and crown you wish. I'm not a big fan of 42" uppers all the way to the ceiling, unless it's in a modern/contemporary designed kitchen (ie. slab doors). But even then, you need a shadow line or small molding at the top, usually. Honestly though, if your cabinet (maker?) or designer couldn't help you with these simple options, you might start looking at other cabinet people....See MoreOK, trying again, do you like either of these floor lamps?
Comments (21)I like the tortoise shell one the best with the shade that comes with it. I like the lines of the shade. Red does give it that added punch and can always be added later--but for now I'm still focusing on the basics. I also like the table lamp with that collection: It's different and yet the same. There was a much cheaper one on sale at JC Penny's for $79 (a Tuscan style bronze with a crackle glaze ceramic in a gold/cream); but they were out of stock, though I have one on hold at another store. I looked online but could not find it. I looked at some of the porcelain ones at Lamps Plus, but they are pretty pricy. I liked this one but not the price: http://www.lampsplus.com/Products/Table-Lamps/Style_Traditional/Type_Ceramic!Porcelain/94066/ (BTW, how to I embed the link in my text?) Since I do have the recessed lights (on dimmers), I'm thinking of putting just one table lamp near the sofa and one floor lamp where you placed it. Where you have the table put near the entry is almost floating in the entry and will be a bit difficult routing the wiring etc. so that cords are not visable--esp. if I go with a smaller 8x10 rug which I am considering for financial reasons. I'm thinking maybe a set of tall candle sticks (like I had put recently on top of the piano) may look good on that other table. As for the artwork, I like fewer larger pictures. I feel that was my problem in the past my artwork was not large enough. I would like one mantle painting and one painting over the piano (which can even be larger as there is more wall space above the piano than the mantle. Then some grouping of smaller pictures on the other walls. I like the set of four pics you put together to the left of the fireplace and over the ottoman. One other thing with the room is that I plan to put my Christmas tree there as well in which case I would probably put it in the corner with the palm, move the palm out and rearrange the chairs for the season....See MoreDo you like either of these lamps?
Comments (8)I don't care much for the shade on the first one either. The lamp + shade always seemed uncomplinentary to me. But I really like the base, and the way it displays the light. I primarily use it as a nightlight, which doesn't use the top light (there's a separately controlled candlestick light in that glass part), but does give off enough light for the lamp to serve its purpose (brightening that dark corner, we don't need it as a room light). I've considered backing the shade with blackout paper to try and make the punching disappear, and never turning on the upper light. I already added parchment vellum, so you can't see the bulb through the punches. As pictured, the mica lamp is running a soft white CFL because I broke the bulb when I moved the lamp. Don't ask. Normally we keep a halogen bulb in there. It's my high wattage indulgence. When I select some wall decor I'll post another round. I'm just now trying to pull this room together. I mean, it's only the great room, most used room, and most visible room from anywhere ground level... and we've "only" been in the house about 6 months... what's the rush, right?!?...See MoreI either need affirmation or reality check, should I get this??
Comments (12)Since you would be using the duvet cover for your summer bedding, you don't even have to buy a duvet. (There! I saved you money! Now you can buy it.) When I used a duvet cover, I used a down comforter inside during the winter and nothing inside during the summer. It's just like a coverlet, with a big pocket inside ;-). The duvet cover you show would look gorgeous in the summer with blue or green shams ... You could even find some rusty-red shams and let it take you right into fall. I just love mix-and-match bedding. If you buy it, you have to post a new picture!...See MoreRelated Professionals
