Making updates feel cohesive
We are updating our home to make it more our style and correct some problems. I have not finalized picks yet, but trying to make sure my overall plan is cohesive. We live a newer stucco home in Tampa, Florida
Kitchen plan: We will keep our white kitchen cabinets but we are replacing the damaged/stained granite with white quartz and adding a marble backsplash. We plan on doing a blue island. We will be adding new wood flooring to the whole downstairs. We will do brass/honey bronze hardware.
Guest Bath and Son's Bath. Will have the same cabinets as kitchen. Guest Bath will keep the current white vanity and son's bath vanity will be painted blue. The cabinets are the same style as the kitchen. Both bathrooms with have white quartz and the same marble look porcelain floor. They will have the same hardware as the kitchen but it will be in a polished nickel finish. They will have the same bath fixtures in a polished nickel finish. Guest bath will have white tiles in the shower and son's bath will have Bedrosian's Cloe tile in white.
Master Bath: will get new layout along with new vanity and makeup area. We will use the same cabinets company/style but will do 5-piece instead of slab style that is in the rest of the home. It will have the same marble look porcelain tile and white quartz counters as the other bathrooms. We will do a 3x12 white subway tile in the shower. It will have the same bath fixtures and hardware as the other bathrooms. I'm torn on the vanity color. I love the look of a warm wood vanity in the master bath. My husband worries it will feel out of place and make our home look like a "Frankenstein House". My other option is the same white as the rest of the house.
The white cabinet in the pictures below is not yellow or cream as it appears.

Comments (77)Also, we've changed some things in our kitchen/breakfast room area so that color is going lighter. Currently it's SW Colonnade, but will be changing to SW Glacial Stream. It's a similar tone, but I want to go lighter. From the kitchen, there's an opening to an area where the garage door is on the left side and the powder room door is on the right side. Here's the Cheerful door to the garage. If you don't like it, please keep your comments to yourself. I like it a lot, but it's a bit brighter than I anticipated. Note to self to always do a sample, not just hold up a swatch. I will not repaint it. It looks good, just personal preference to the brightness. The gray is Colonnade, but changing to a smidge lighter gray....See MoreWhat color should rest of furniture be?How to make everything cohesive
Comments (2)The way to make everything cohesive is to have a piece in the room with all the colors you will use throughout the space. A rug, a piece of art, a sofa -- then you take the colors from this one item and develop your decor around it. You also take it through the house and pick up the colors with accents. Not every room is the same color. It can be either darker or lighter, or it can be one of the other colors in the scheme -- light or dark. I am not an expert, just someone who has lived in 4 different houses and found this formula works....See MoreHelp me make my Calacatta bathroom remodel be cohesive.
Comments (8)Leena braich 3:31 PM Update- Bedrosians will let me exchange my polished wall tiles for the honed ones that were more earth tones. At least my floors and walls will be cohesive. There are a lot of plain tiles in that batch so I can use the plain ones on the wainscoting wall. The shower is in a separate room so the room won’t look as busy. I will have mushroom color cabinets to ground the space as well. Once the cabinets and tiles are in place I can decide on the counter top....See Moremaking my rooms brighter and cohesive
Comments (27)I'd choose neutral light curtains- linen or cotton canvas in soft white. In LR- Hang as close to the ceiling as possible and allow them to stack outside the window to increase the Window's size. I'd choose an oil rubbed bronze rod for a bit of black -an old design rule- very room needs a bit of black. If curtainsxare for a sliding glass door- no valances. Valances draw the eye down and give a heavy feeling. Think airy and light. Hang as high and as wide as possible and allow them to stack the outside the glass & against wall if possible...See More

4 years agoLive wire- our cabinets are white not cream. The picture I grabbed from our cabinet manufacturer appears cream online. Here’s a picture of our cabinet when I was trying to match tile.
I am hoping for longevity in our finishes that will last. I want a timeless, classic look. I thought I was picking timeless finishes with white subway tile and marble. I guess I have a lot to learn. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

4 years agoNot being sure of your master bathroom space, this idea might be off the wall... but if your vanity /makeup area is separate, or if it’s connected but a different height, you could use the warmer wood for that, and white for your cabinets. I’ve seen it done in some larger baths, not sure what it would look like in a smaller bath. Here’s a pic from Pinterest that gives you the color mix. I like it and think it looks elegant!
