Is natural oak/bleached oak trim dated?
Comments (17)"Quote" I am not a big fan of "it's not the trend," or "it's not popular." That seems what decorators or merchants interested in selling their latest ware might parrot"unquote" I agree..... In our last last we replaced the carpet in our FR with brazillion cherry (seemed to be the trend at the time) and while it looked good I hated it, I missed the carpet in there. The house we are in now we just replaced the carpet in FR with new carpet , a nice plush frieze . The kitchen has custom oak cabinets which I didnt like at first , but after a year , I'm starting too like them....See MoreKitchen addition to my 1939 house is finished
Comments (69)dyhgarden, I am so deeply sorry for your loss of your husband, and so deeply moved by your strength to move forward with this spectacular achievement on your own! Your new kitchen is simply gorgeous, welcoming, creative, and looks so functional. The porcelain dot backsplash gives it such a warm texture, and that installation is one of the best I've ever seen. Many you enjoy this space with those who love you!...See MoreTrim color in kitchen expansion / addition?
Comments (4)I live in one of the oldest parts of New England. Even in homes from the 17 & 1800s, there is usually white trim in the kitchen and bathrooms even if there is wood trim elsewhere. Inrealize this wouldn't be the case when they were first built, but it is a home, not a museum. Get white cabinets and hold the doors up to your wood trim in other rooms. if you like it, then choose stained trim in the addition. If not, then have white trim but make sure the trim matches in width and style....See MorePainted Trim - decorate room & remove the oak trim! Pics below (4)
Comments (18)Consider a warm white paint, that is on trend, and would lower the contrast between the oak and the walls........possibly a blend of the lightest color in your sofa? find a rug that is done in a tweed effect; cost effective and lots of choices that will work with the warm oak trim. Also you have a lot of room on either side of the fireplace; consider putting the TV on either side down low over a console? Or if you are considering new furniture place the TV on another entirely and see about doing a sectional that embraces the new TV location and the fireplace. win win. Some examples of TV to side of fireplace in rooms with multiple windows and some nice furniture arrangements. Go big or go home!...See MoreShadyWillowFarm
