UH-OH! Now I'm Fabric Storage Challenged
Comments (3)Rita, I used the plastic shelving units in a closet and found they kinda waste some space, but they are easy to put in and will come out with no problem if you ever want to use the closet for clothes again. Just measure the available space and look for units that match. I installed the closetmaid wire shelving in a walk-in closet. I put them from way up top to almost to the floor on two sides. I did this myself and it is much more "user space friendly"....I mean you can see the stuff and access it easier than with the shelving units. You also don't lose the corner space which can be significant. Just an idea.....and an easy DIY project. Murphy...See MoreColor-challenged couple needs help w/remodeled kitchen walls!
Comments (6)i was never into gray until i saw mystery's kitchen. i love them now and for you...that color would really sing with the bordeaux and gray in the stone. wood looks lovely next a rich gray as well. i have a ralph lauren wheel here....i love polaris gray...soft and towards an old silver in tone...but (ugly name) sweatshirt gray is also gorgeous. grey stone and neutral graY work as well/ i'd grab a few samples and see how they woek in the space. i think they would be very elegant myself...See MoreA color challenge from someone who is color challenged!
Comments (10)Did you look at BM historical colors? Have you looked in your closet for colors that you feel good about and get compliments when you wear them? Another direction would be to just work with lighter and darker variations of the gray you're already happy with. What other shades are on that color strip card? Most decorating projects end with the paint selection because it can be custom blended to work with your fabrics and textiles which are set in stone. Best way to test colors in a room is to paint a large square of each color you're considering in the center of a big white poster boards. That way you can move each color from wall to wall to see how they change with the different lighting effects including rainy days, sunny days, night, with your lighting, etc....See MoreHelp us with colours & design for this challenging kitchen upgrade!
Comments (16)a black slate (more of a dark gray) can look great in a modern style kitchen. The wood look tiles though, be careful as some can look rather cheesy. they are fast becoming dated because of this. have you considered some fossilized bamboo? this one from CaliBamboo is one of the better qualities. (they have all colors) https://www.calibamboo.com/product-grey-hardwood-floors-vintage-moonlight-9009008001.html? porcelain tile option or, think about feathering in some of the black hex tiles like this, or doing a cool effect w/lighter and darker tiles in a herringbone. these are the blues, but you could do just the white, or grays/blacks....See Moreturnby
