UPDATE:Can't move forward, is it time to hire interior decorator?
Comments (19)If I recall from your earlier posting, I believe you were concerned that your countertops had a pinkish cast to it? My concern with any green would be that it would emphasize that even further. Can anyone suggest a color to iwantakitchen to deemphasize the pinkish undertones in the counters? Once that is balanced that should help you get a direction to focus. If you want to keep it light and bright what about something like karenforroses' backsplash? Except for your birch lowers, your choices in terms of white cabs and light neutral counters are quite similar. I've long admired her kitchen for the clean and simple palate she used, but no one could ever say it is boring. What I would suggest is to find an inspiration kitchen (via the FKB, mags, etc.) that is similar to what you have so far and use that to help narrow your choices. You may also want to swap out your bulbs in the UC lights to a warm white as they also can have a great influence how your counters, backsplash look. In my kitchen at the moment I have replaced a few bulbs with a warmer white bulb and it's amazing that it gives the backsplash a whole different cast so whatever you choose be sure to check it in your lighting since with the limited windows and northern exposure you will be relying more on artificial lighting.

Comments (135)It is unethical and crass that he was using the Whitehouse account to tweet about his daughter's business. Also that he was doing so during an intelligence briefing shows that his focus is not on the nation's business but his family's business. By the way, he still has not divested himself of his business and that should be setting off alarm bells because of conflict of interest. Even if you support him, you should be able to see that this is a violation of the office of the presidency....See MoreNeed help, what is the architecture style and how to add curb appeal?
Comments (25)I like the shutters. Id get a new door either black or a bright color with matching colored large pots or urns with TOPIARIES flanking the entry. Also, add a small hedge "Minimalist Landscaping. On par with stripped-down details in Colonial homes, landscapes lack conspicuous ornamentation. Many rely on geometric combinations of shrubs and trees as a restrained softscape accent."

Comments (6)Thanks catlady999! Peaking the flat roof would be ideal and I love tin roofs. Those were my first thoughts too so I got some estimates form a local contractors and it will cost an extra $30K on top of what insurance will pay for the roof. We have about $30K to put towards improvements in total (in addition to insurance work) and upgrading the small 1950s kitchen is a must so unfortunately the roof lines will have to stay as is. Great idea though :)...See MoreSammie J
