Am I expecting too much? Steel beam in ceiling
Comments (14)Lots of criteria to consider...length of discrepency, lighting conditions, intended finish, etc. My experience has been that with a large area you are better off doing it right, from the framing out. Skim coating is typically a very thin coat of mud that either feathers blems out or simply covers slight imperfections in the paper of the sheetrock. I dont consider a very thick layer of mud skim coating. You may be setting yourself up for an even bigger mess down the road when/if settling occurs. To me...I would insist its done right. I get tired of these tradespeople pushing off second rate work and practices under the guise "we do it all the time". It is your investment. They are only concerned to keep you at bay for a very short period of time....See MoreNavy blue paint throughout interior house...How much is too much?
Comments (13)Hi, Johnny-- For your currently maroon room, I'd split it up in a few ways: Base, window and door trim to new white in updated palette (semigloss) Walls to your new grey in updated palette Keep overhead beams in current tone, but paint out the v-groove between beams in your new white (flat) Should add light to the space, highlight the roof architecture, and set off your updated flooring in there. One thing I noticed from your fireplace photo is that your wainscot paneling dies into one side of the fireplace and doesn't run that whole wall. That seems an odd place to end the run, so I'd consider having it run at least into the next corner or wrap that room, as well. Let us know how it all turns out - and keep on!...See MoreHelp to choose a ceiling light for a master bedroom
Comments (9)@N Kay The ceiling is 9' high. Can't have a decent chandelier. The pendants are for reading in bed. There will be enough light from the ceiling light about 2000 lumens. There aren't many interesting flush mounts. @calidesign Thanks. Yes the light portion is 6" but the whole gets lit when turned on. It sounded like the 19" is a diffuser. Other than that, do they go together? I ,like the pendants. Finding a flush mount has been hard....See MoreIs two different turquoise bedrooms too much turquoise?
Comments (19)I think it will work. Have your son keep going with his decorating and help him find bedding that will tie the two different blues together. Love that he is so interested in how his room will look. Even 7 year old’s take pride in ownership! I had this wonderful neighbor, who had raised a large family. Her advice to me was to save the “no’s” for those requests which must be a “no”. In another 9 years, he will be looking for something else which is turquoise. This is where you might say no?...See MoreIdaClaire
