Help Me Finish My Sears-Kit Home's Bathroom!
Comments (15)Just out of curiosity, is this tub new? I love the old style of it. You did a nice job picking appropriate fixtures in keeping with the age. Also, is that wide windowsill wood? I can see a beautiful piece of marble there, or marble-like laminate. Think old buildings with marble windowsills. As for a place for shampoos etc, could you just put them on the bathtub side ledge? If you do the u-shaped shower curtain rod, you should run the subway tile all the way to the ceiling. You'd be surprised at how high water can splash. Don't ask me how I know-from-my-very-tall-son!...See MorePlease help me finish my dining room
Comments (13)I'll look at the indoor/outdoor rugs. I hadn't thought of that. I've been so stuck on "NO RUGS NEAR EATING AREAS"! I think I may just get a few different panels and live with them for a few days to see what I fall for. Yes, I had planned on hanging them so they barely touch the edge of the window to make it look larger. Thanks again for the feedback. Sometimes I just need to hear that I'm heading in the right direction from all of you (I've been so impressed with what I've seen everyone on this forum do in their own homes that it has made me want to make mine look the best it can)....See MorePlease help me update my rental home’s exterior!
Comments (17)I also vote no shutters. Please don‘t take what I’m about to say the wrong way : ) ... Yes your home is old, and all the other homes in your area may have shutters....however your home was never designed to have shutters. You can tell by the placement and design of the windows. While shutters can act as eyebrows for your windows, the original purpose was to “shutt”. If visually you can’t shut and open the shutters it will look off, and therefore, wrong. Bellow I illustrated what your shutters would need to look like if they propperly fit your windows: See what I mean. Every shutter needs a window, but not every window needs a shutter. Your home won’t look “off” without them, they will look right. Your windows on your first level are wood, leaded, and original- let those shine! Now, as far as trim and door color...I’m pegging you home between 1910-1920....possibly early 1930?? When choosing trim and door color, go historic. I went and did some quick research for you on archive.org. You can also find historic colors at any local paint store. If you design your homes exterior in the era it was intended, it will never look dated. Yes, many of these colors seem bright (not everything was pastel back then as we usually think...) Also remember that your colors will be outside, bleached from the sun. Always go darker and more colorful than you think. Choosing your color outside will help :) 1920 https://archive.org/details/TheMuraloCompanyInc.C1920 1910 https://archive.org/details/RuekelBestQualityMixedPaint 1930 This one is for galvanized iron, but it could still easily be applied to your door and trim. https://archive.org/details/GalvanumForGalvanizedIronTheOneOutstandingPaintNotedForItsAbility Here are two examples of historic homes with proper color pallets, see how they come to life! Notice while this home from 1929 has shutters, visually they can all close. Hope that helps, and good luck!...See MoreHelp me finish off my floating home! Empty corners need some inspo!
