I would LOVE some glass backsplash advice :)
Comments (32)Hi again Kat_wa. Here's a pic of the almost complete kitchen with our backsplash. It wasn't quite what I wanted originally (creme colored) but to be honest, I just got tired of the whole project and couldn't find a glass tile with a lot of warmth in it. The glass tiles have most of the granite colors in them and the craziness of it seems to tie in with how busy the granite is. (The granite always looks more gold than it is in pictures...probably because the blinds are closed or you'd be blinded by the ton of light we get in!). We both really like it now though. lol Thanks again for asking :)...See MoreBrick wall waterfall, would love any advice
Comments (8)Sometimes gardne centres have pump displays. Ours used to have a hozelock display with an outlet about the size of a brick. You could then press buttons to change the flow rate to decide which pump you needed. It was quite frightening what flowrate you got with alot of the pumps. Another way to go rather than the "freefall" might be to do something with a sheet or perspex just in front of the wall. A pierced hose with lots of holes could deliver a sheet of water to the top of the perspex. Again, playing around with a hose pipe is a good way to look at effects before you start. Another thought, to get a sheet of water, the brick needs to be perfectly flat. It will still have the tendency to converge so it won't be a sheet at the bottom. Using a finely corrugated former might help this. Do experiments with corrugated cardboard to see if I'm right. (ps this is from the person who has built a waterfall between 2 ponds but still not connected a pump!)...See MoreAny color/paint experts? Need advice on paint color!

Comments (19)Thank you everyone! I was really wanting to know about the paint color.... but welcomed and appreciate all advice! I have been fortunate enough to always love the paint that came with my other homes in the past. The furniture in the picture is not mine.... I do like to stay in neutral pieces so I can change my treatments and accents out by seasons and all so I already know what I am doing as far as that goes. I am going to eventually change the carpet to hardwood, for now probably a natural rug. I am going to put the TV over the fireplace but I WONT BE HAPPY ABOUT IT! LOL ….And adding a large scale light fixture. I also will be adding beams. I do like the pale oak and the ballet and dove white. I have been seeing the trim a few shades darker lately and it goes against what I thought was "the right way" but I am wanting to modernize a little. I also have seen the wood trim and thought it looked to old school until the pictures from FREEDOMPLACE, one of those is right on point with the simple but classy but comfy look I'm trying to figure out here! All of the pics of that look have looked very outdated looking to me. The people selling the home wanted a blank slate and a cheaper bill at the paint store, for making a sale, I get that, I just didn't know about all of the "layers". Thank you CAWAPS for understanding what I was asking as well! And BEVERLY for the pictures tho it rubbed in the definite fact a piece of art would look better than a tv, sigh...….. Is that something only a pro can do? The picture editing? And so I should even the windows out (hang the curtains from the same height, even though the doors are lower) but not the arch windows? Or the outer corners of those two windows? I appreciate EVERY comment, thanks for taking the time!...See MoreRelated Professionals
