Comments (21)Thanks so much for the help! All the photos have elements of what I'm looking for Boxerpups, floor - I would love to run my wood into the kitchen but know we will be harder on it than most people and it is soft birch. You will see it in the attached family room so I have to take it into consideration. Tile is the best choice an we're thinking a large tile such as a porcelain slate as long as I can find something with a muted warm tones that is not too busy looking. So far no luck but I have a picture of a mudroom tile from an old magazine I love. I'll try to post it. Cabinets - I think mostly cream with painted island or all lowers painted different colors . The cabinets in the fourth photo with the bleached floors are perfect. counters - I think brown tones but I love grey ( husband not so much) #1 - love but too modern overall #3 - great mix of natural elements with fun color #4 - love cabs, counters, stools #5 - love lighting, stools rustic table with modern chairs, otherwise a bit too fussy #7 - great colors, beautiful backsplash. #13 - great clean look All others nice but but bit too traditional - Honeysuckle vine -I looooove the tile in the first caesarstone photo. I agree a bit dark otherwise but overall a great look. I think I have to get the floor sorted out and go from there. The next most important will be the tile since I want something really great. What do you think?...See MoreLooking for area rug inspirations...
Comments (8)I did see that one too--That was one I saved-- I am sorta torn into 2 directions right now-- Originally I was looking for rugs to go with black and linen colored check panels I had on order (which just arrived yesterday)-- Then I came across some pillow covers & now drapery panels from Pottery Barn-(simone pillow covers) which took me off into a whole other direction.. I'm not used to the picture posting on this site--but I will post another picture with the black/linen checks panels shortly (I think)...See MoreI'm a marble lover looking for granite
Comments (12)htracey, I could have written your original post! *I* could live with the normal patina of marble. But knowing how my husband is, there's no way it will end up with a normal patina in our particular house. Too many times, on our current dark (antique brown) granite, do I find dried on food or spills, whether it be from boiled shrimp or crawfish (we're in Louisiana) or drippings from a messy sandwich from him or apple juice, gatorade, soup, etc. from one of our kids that he or they didn't wipe up. Not only that, but my daughter loves to draw and color at our island. I can't stop our everyday lives because of our countertop choice. If I was there to wipe things up EVERY TIME everyone ate, it'd be fine. But that's not real life. So, I'm now looking at granite and quartzite and even quartz. I'm changing my focus. But I'm not going to get something that's pretending to be something it's not. In other words, I can't get something that is trying to be marble but isn't really marble. So I'm looking at other white stones with gray in them (and maybe other shades as well) but that have a slightly different look to them. Maybe you should look at it that way also? Having said that, Bianco Romano is a lovely granite. White Macaubus is a gorgeous quartzite. I've never seen the Madre Perla (above) locally but it looks lovely too!...See Moreilikefriday
