Your Opinion Please: Are window valances outdated?
Comments (12)Balloon valances are dated. Swag valances are dated. Scarf valances are dated. Festoons or jabots.....probably dated. Depends on the material and the house. The more tailored the valance is, the less dated it appears. The fussier it is, the more likely it is to be dated. Classic, and IMHO, not dated. Another classic. the contrasting ties, and contrasting fabric lining are the tailored details that make it. The sculptural shape and simplicity work well....See MoreBacksplash help - contemporary style

Comments (20)I think it would be fine. The hearth looks to be more of an "area" than an hearth (if that makes sense). I see you have outlets on the right hand side. I know moving them would be a whole heck of a lot of trouble, but if you do built ins, that side would be great to run a cord for your electronics. I have built ins on either side of my fireplace and I'm not overly fond of the shelf parts because it's just something else i have to dust, but they do have cupboards on the bottom on one side and top and bottom (tv behind sliding doors) on the other. This I enjoy a lot as it hides board games and all sorts of junk that's not pretty. What does your fiance think about doing built ins? Will it be his job or will you both hire out? I'm asking because they will require drilling into the brick and I don't know if that's doable for you both......See MoreAdd a wall niche in new built home? Cool or outdated?
Comments (33)Thank you to all of you for your input. @Worthy, that's exactly the type of niche my husband would love! Thanks for the laugh ;-) When I said that my husband didn't know what he was going to put in it, I meant that he has art from around the world (paintings/pictures as well as 3D pieces) but that he hadn't chosen which piece he would feature. BUT.......we had a meeting today with the architect, contractor & designer & they all agreed that we should forego the niche in the location we were planning on. I was surprised that my husband was OK with that. I appreciate all of you taking the time to respond!...See MoreRelated Professionals
