New Vintage Bath - Black/White question (pic)
Comments (21)Hi Lauren, What a great bathroom and such great choices you made for fixtures. I agree completely with those who say not to worry about the exact matching of the whites. They never do because porcelain is made of clay and the colors of clay vary from different parts of the country, not to mention all over the world. That's just part of the character of the room. If you're looking for ways to inject some more black or a color into the room I'd suggest adding a small double doored wall cabinet on the window wall just above the tile edge. You can find them ready-made at a Marshall's or HomeGoods /TJ Maxx in white and off white. Inexpensive. I'd paint it a gloss black and use shiny chrome knobs to coordinate with your hardware. Big impact against your soft S.S.walls. This would be a great place to store extra toilet tissue and things that you'd like to have handy but behind closed doors. I had a medicine cabinet exactly like yours in a former house and we considered facing the wide band top and bottom between the moulding with a black and white herringbone patterned mosaic tile or with some deco mantle tiles from an ebay seller called madeineurope 2127. INCREDIBLE tiles for anyone doing a new bath or looking for something wonderful to incorporate into a tiled kitchen back splash. He specializes in deco and art nouveau tiles. Finally found an original black and white French deco patterned fabric that we transferred to the wide bands and it looked wonderful. Lots of compliments. It literally became a piece of period looking artwork above the sink. I wouldn't change the outlet covers and wouldn't stress over the rad.either. Again, all a part of the charm. Great job!...See MoreDeciding on exterior colours

Comments (7)You have a nice classic house. Clean lines and really good proportions. I would not change anything about the structure or architecture of the house. In my opinion, the biggest impact would be some wonderful landscaping. I'm not the expert on that, but we have some skilled people here who can often photoshop really lovely landscaping and it's incredible what an improvement that can make. Right now you have two little shrubs and a whole lot of grass. Boring. You need beds of flowers and shrubs or small trees to bring in color, texture, and interest. In terms of the house itself, the color is good and everything looks really solid. If you want to add more pizzaz, a new front door without the storm door might help. You might consider a new garage door with windows as suggested. You could paint the garage door the same color as the body of the house to make it blend in a little more (either the current door or a new door)....See Moremark_rachel
