Painter comes next Friday, not sure of kitchen cabinet color!
Comments (76)Wow, I hadn't realized there were other replies after I posted a couple wks ago. I only came back to check now to rehash my decision. Because no...I still don't know what I'm doing :( I'm literally past obsessing about it. And moved on to being plain, ol' DEPRESSED over it. So much so, that I booked a flight to CA for Feb 26th, so I could go to Ikea and just waste some money on accesories. And NOT paint! At the time, I decided to just put glass in the doors, open up the other couple. Try to find something I really liked to go over the cabs. Nice rug, some under cabinet lighting, and call it a day. But, dh and everyone else knows that would only make me happy for about a wk. So, we're painting. What color? Well, we'll decide that when the guy comes for the doors :( Seriously, I'm just going to flip a coin. Last night I was set on all white. Figured adding some other color in a rug, painting the inside of the glass cabinets green, and adding other stuff wouldn't make it look so sterile. But, that darn floor and the white appliances keep staring at me. I could happily do white cabs if appliances were SS. OR..if the floor was wood. But, having both things against me. I've yet to EVER clip and save a kitchen with light tile, and white appliances. There's a reason for that. I don't like the look ! The black..sigh. I love black. But, since my first post I've changed out my living room quite a bit. It's taking on a lighter tone. And I worry the black is too heavy with it. I've had visions again of going green/gray on the bottom. Dh doesn't want to for resale. And because of how he thinks it'd look against the Lenox Tan paint on the walls. Blue, I love the color you've done! I can totally see doing something like that to work WITH what I have. Not against it. But, again..the paint throughout the whole space would be hard to work with. Dh suggested maybe going with the wall color, at half strength..for the lowers. White uppers. OR..back to black lowers. It's quite obvious I'm all over the map still. And am thankful for all the snow. So, my painter can't get started yet :( Here's my living room. Right off the kitchen. I need to make things flow. And I pretty much stink at this whole decorating thing, so it's a struggle!...See MoreExcited...Install next week and chose more stuff
Comments (12)People on this forum rock!! I can't believe you've found two sources for the table. One thing I like about the one in the restaurant though is the top is really thick - 1.5" to be exact. I'm sure it's some type of veneer since real hardwood circular tables have a skirt, but it was done with a high-quality veneer for sure. I also need a 48" table, and the two sources you provided only have up to a 47"...which is close, but this is the max size we can do in the space and we want to get the biggest table possible. Thanks for the tip though! Busybme - I got the pendants from an antique store in Toronto called Turn of the Century Lighting. I've heard them referred to as hurricane lamps or even just lanterns. I'm thrilled with the mix of the traditional and contemporary elements, creating a true transitional space. I was worried that things in the kitchen were netting out to be too traditional, but with some key things having a modern slant, it will turn out to be the right mix to my eye! The glass finials are a good example - typical round ball shape, but in glass rather than wood, which makes it feel more edgy. The kitchen opens up to the family room, and we ordered a sectional in this fabric that has a subtle tie in to the tones in our granite. We're doing a fun shag rug underneath the leather ottomon in the family room, again to throw in an electic elements to the classic and clean lines of the sectional. We are busy bees. Finally, progress!!! I want it to be next week already......See MoreI have 20 child free hours next week help pick a MB color
Comments (27)Roarah, I'll give you a tip for testing the paint colors. Instead of just slapping a swatch of each in a row on a wall, actually paint a LARGE amount of each around something. For instance, paint the Vintage charm around the mirror, all four sides; the smokey blue behind the top of the small chest and the picture above it; the Silver Mist behind the headboard of the frame. This way, you get a much better idea as to who the color will work actually painted in the room, up to the trip, contrasting with the furniture, etc. It makes a HUGE difference. If you can do each up, or down, to the trim, or along a door/window trim as well, even better....See MoreMy trees come next week!
Comments (90)My GN came yesterday! It even has a fruit on it. It looks like it is gearing up to flower again, I can see some buds starting to form. It looks a little pale but I'm sure some foliage pro will take care of that quick! and my new lime tree. I thought it was a key lime but it says Mexican lime haha it is a teeny but bigger than the Meyer and has roots sticking out of the bottom of the container. He will be the first to be repotted haha....See More

2 years agoCrap. We installed that vanity top. The previous one was black and I wanted to lightened up and match the grout. (Pic attached, in case you say it’s worse and I’ll feel a modicum better.) What about the marble don’t you like? I like it, but I agree the room isn’t cohesive. Painting the walls a light neutral is easy, but what about the cabinets? It’s included in our contract (larger house reno) so now’s the time to do it. Paint them White Dove? We are painting another bathroom Seapearl. Would that work for walls here?
