Paint color, tile, trim to go with bold tile and white cabinets
Comments (19)Making progress! Busy day so far. Second coat of paint, one hockey game, interior and exterior window cleaning, and some more pictures. New color is BM Aura shimmer. It reads blue in real life, almost a matching blue to the Vancouver Day, in a good way. I don't find it conflicts next to the brown tile. The white paint is much better I think but I think the trim work needs work. I still think the windows are a little top heavy, especially with the top trim piece. It could be more rectangular. That said, there are a lot of rectangles in this view. Perhaps something to introduce a curve? I spent some time last night looking at window trim on Houzz. The trim could be very wide and tall: [[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/kitchens-traditional-kitchen-boston-phvw-vp~1541411) [Traditional Kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by Boston Architect Jan Gleysteen Architects, Inc It could disappear, with trim that goes to the ceiling: [[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/shingle-style-home-in-hanover-nh-victorian-kitchen-burlington-phvw-vp~106086) [Traditional Kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by Burlington Architect Smith & Vansant Architects PC Or it could connect the left run of cabinets with the right (eventual) one; I forget what this piece is called: [[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/portfolio-traditional-kitchen-denver-phvw-vp~207337) [Traditional Kitchen design[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by Denver Kitchen And Bath Angela Otten; WmOhs Showrooms Inc Thanks a2, blue would be more of a blue grey. I originally had baby/sky blue and couldn't STAND it. dretutz - what a nice thing to say, thank you! I am not familiar with Revere Pewter, will look it up. Hi colorfast - I haven't yet bought a paint sample of Gray Owl; may try if I decide against the current off white. michoumonster - thank you for the soft chamois color recommendation, with a name like that, it sounds lovely:) I may still try it.... BM china white I have used a lot of in the past. A few more shots then off to tackle stacking the wood. Gorgeous fall day out there!

Comments (12)Hmmm. If you've only got two weeks to get that place cleaned up and moved into, I think you need to be pretty judicious about what you do. I'm assuming this space is a rental? Or at least that you don't have full control over it, based on the statement that a range hood isn't up to you. So here's my guess: maybe the current occupants are super neatniks and are going to leave the place pristine and ready for all your finishing touches. But I doubt it. (Some people are really nice people but have a hard time with that stuff.) Anyway, I think just getting the place thoroughly cleaned up and painted is going to be a trick. --I personally wouldn't replace any appliances except the microwave. Instead, clean, clean, clean, and replace appliances once you know what you're getting into with existing electrical and install timeframes. --I'd thoroughly clean that fridge and paint it with rustoleum paint--white or any fun color you like. --Consider a bright color for the walls, especially if you're not going to repaint the cabinets. It's not easy to repaint laminate cabinets and the paint chips pretty easily so you'd be forgiven for not wanting to do it. Do you want woodwork a different color than walls? I love white woodwork but if yours isn't pretty you may not want to draw attention to it. --I would not paint the countertops unless they are unbearable. --Figure out a way to get garbage and recycling under the sink or in a suitable cabinet. --Consider replacing or painting cabinet hardware (a contrasting color would be cheap and cute.) Overall my thought is that your time will be best spent achieving a great beach house vibe. Key is for the place to be super clean, and as organized as possible (not necessarily uncluttered, but everything in its place.)...See MoreInterior white Wall Color to use throughout house
Comments (8)That is not what I am saying, exactly. A north facing room, from the GET go, may require a much warmer white than you'd have in your marble bath. Yes, all rooms change with the light. But some may begin ( One Paint ) as warmer, cooler , dingier to start. The search for ONE that makes you happy everywhere in every room can be quite a challenge, unless all your rooms are flooded with light. Or.......you accept that some rooms ( your results ) will appeal to you more than others, with just one white, everywhere. Also be aware that white is BEST with lots of light, and even better when used somewhat liberally in fabrics. Too much going on in a room, a lot of pattern or color, or dark furnishings ...(especially a case with leather sofas, large and brown...........) can make for a disjointed and very nervous space....See MoreWhat color(s) should we paint the interior of our new home?
Comments (5)Congratulations on your new home - how exciting! I would not paint the walls grey/blue/green due to the orange/yellow wood. Those colors would look nice in your home but may feel a little old-fashioned to you. In my opinion, grey has been overdone and it's time for something fresher. I would paint both the walls and the wood trim the same soft white to give it a more modern feel. The trim is not very substantial so just paint it out altogether. Bring in color with your furniture or art. When you eventually replace the flooring you can think about changing the trim too. Look at Benjamin Moore OC-117 Simply White, or perhaps OC-118 Snowfall White or OC-149 Decorator's White....See MoreJennifer Hogan
