help me paint my powder room
Comments (2)Our Powder is approximately 4 x 6 but irregular in shape. We updated it a couple years ago using a darker blue wall covering. The ceiling has about 10% of the blue hue but I really don't believe the ceiling is noticed because the room size just doesn't call ones eyes upward. So from my experience unless you simply want the metallic paint I suspect few guests will ever take note. Like yours, our adjacent Family Room has lots of burgundy and tan. The linked album shows before/after of our Powder and, near the bottom, links to other rooms. Personally I believe a Powder Room is a place to do some different things and should you be displeased, not costly to change. Good luck.

Comments (32)Omigod that photo of Santorini is gorgeous. What a great inspiration, and what a great idea--I think I'll look for places, too, instead of just pictures of kitchens for inspiration! And I really love that iridescent blue tile. A few thoughts: - Have you considered blue appliances? Or (this would be cheaper) a blue range with the other appliances being stainless or black (whatever you think looks good in context)? Fratelli Onofri has a blue 36" range (the Royal Chiantishire)--it's dark blue--and there are others in dark and/or light blue by, e.g., Aga (the Legacy), Lacanche, the Cornu Fe at Williams Sonoma, and of course special-order colors from Viking and so on. Here's the blue Fratelli: http://fratelliappliances.com/products.php?catid=1&pid=5 It's dark, so potentially a nice contrast with white cabinets and light blue accents (the tile). It's definitely DARK, though, so you may want to order color samples from Eurochef at that link(they send them for free). The Aga Legacy in blue is also dark, and about $2000+ more expensive than the fratelli. Prices just go up from there, but so do your options in terms of what shade of blue. - You'll also want some pops of gold here and there--something that makes you think of the sunset. Brushed brass fixtures, maybe? Or a few golden tiles in the backsplash? - I assume white cabinets is what you're considering. I wonder if there's a way to incorporate the curves in some of those Santorini roofs--perhaps in the style of the door, maybe a half-circle arch motif or something? - Others have already suggested blue counters. That would be GORGEOUS with white cabinets. - What kind of floor do you have? Could you do... let's see... very dark wood, like espresso, to look like earth, the surface of those mountains? Or maybe, depending how it looks with the blues you choose and the white, a Mediterranean-looking floor of terra cotta tiles with painted accent tiles? If you like the dark color idea, either wood or cork or linoleum could work . I mean real, non-vinyl linoleum--it's matte, not shiny, and comes in several nice shades of dark brown, all with swirling like you see in cork, so it looks very natural... for example, look at the walnut and wine barrel here: http://www.forboflooringna.com/Residential/Products/Marmoleum-sheet-tile/Neutral-Color-Collaborators/...See MoreHelp me finish the powder room - I need tile help.
Comments (3)I love the godmorgan sink for their clever plumbing moving the ptrap to the back so that you can have drawers. I got one but my plumber threw up all over it for the cheap quality of the plastic in the plumbing. He did agree about the design and is building ours with the ptrap in the back so that we can do drawers using better quality stock parts. Mirrors.. I would suggest picking this first as this will drive much tile you need. Have you looked at IKEA mirrors. They are a good price point. Also home goods etc.. Faucet.. Online prices are much better.. Do you like the look of the faucet in the picture? I went with a simple version from a good quality brand for my regular bathrooms with a single lever. For powder room, I also wanted it to be fun and did wall mounted in antique copper....See MoreCan you help me design my living room?
Comments (14)In my home, I placed rectangular canvas photo over my tv. It might be nice to have art or photo in the room. Koetsier: "While working as an x-ray professional, he continued his passion for black and white photography on the weekends while living in the Netherlands, France and eventually settling in California. This eventually prompted him to combine the two specialties creating some of the most amazing x-ray photographs using plants, flowers, shells and other inanimate objects."
