Keep kitchen wall white or paint it? (PICS)
Comments (19)You all are so kind to take time out of your busy day to help me. I just love this forum! First off...thank you for the kind words about the cabs and kitchen overall. I so needed that. It's actually kind of crazy how many negative comments I've read about arches in the past 6-8 months, especially on the kitchen forum. I know no one meant it in a bad way...they were just being honest about what they liked/disliked, but it was really starting to discourage me after spending thousands on these cabs to keep hearing how undesirable and outdated the design was. It's just a curved line for gosh sakes. No one considers a coffee table "outdated" just because it has a curved vs straight shape. Why a cabinet door? Anyway: you've made me feel much better, so many thanks for that. Re: paint suggestions. Your feedback was so interesting. Two camps here. The "keep it calm/match a color in BS" group and the "go for the red/orange bold" group. Yet 100% agreement NOT to leave it white. So that answers my #1 question - perfect! Alex9179 thank you big time for that pic of the orange kitchen. Incredibly helpful to see my kitchen colors with the orange wall...had the hardest time picturing that. If I go w/orange, think I may have to find a darker/"spicier" orange due to ultra-white tile floors. That wood floor in pic is gorgeous but same orange with my floor may look too "cartoony". Still a great visual though. So close. LOVE the blue and green...won't fit in my world, but I just love it. Next house! Blfention: please don't apologize for the detail and questions. I definitely welcome it. Re: hallway...not much color yet. Point well taken. Have to do a better job livening that up. I have a curved half-moon two level freestanding bar in one spot (black/black barstools) and a curved half-moon foyer table in entrance, next to DR. Great idea re: curved mirror in DR...the square one is my late father's...some sentimentality there. Have to think about that. New chandy since that pic was shot: now a larger drum shade style with 6-light candelbra and lots of crystals which does offer some distinct softening. Les...thanks for valance suggestions, as well as others who added their thoughts. I just bought these two a couple of months ago when I put the LED UC lighting in...they actually have a very distinctive pinstripe modern texture the camera doesn't show. Maybe I can hang them higher and find a way to pull in some color accents from other rooms for now - then switch for box valance later on which will look better. (The cab company had a matching wood valance, but it was pretty pricey and I already splurged my budget on the upgraded all-plywood and deluxe construction details instead.) Thank you again everyone...it's so wonderful to get objective eyes on this...I'm definitely too close to it all myself to have any fresh thinking....See MorePlease post pics of living rooms with travertine floors!
Comments (2)allison0704....just wanted to say I LOVE your den!!! It looks so cozy :o) Sorry..I don't have any pictures to share...I wish I did though. I love tile. Rugs are great at warming up a tiled room. I don't think we'll ever have carpet in our house. We're getting ready to tile our entire finished basement. (I couldn't wait to get rid of the carpet). I plan on having area rugs down there...it is just so hard to find the right one. A friend of mine has tile throughout her entire home. And it looks great. She has area rugs and runners here and there. I could never pull that off though. When she places them...they look like they belong...if I did that...it would like I just needed a place to put a rug! Good luck!...See MoreNew To Kitchens? Posting Pics? Read Me! [Help keep on Page 1]

Comments (144)"Blow, Bugle, Blow" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The splendour falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O hark, O hear! how thin and clear, And thinner, clearer, farther going! O sweet and far from cliff and scar The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying: Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O love, they die in yon rich sky, They faint on hill or field or river: Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow for ever and for ever. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying....See MoreMuriel Thompson
