A fan in a split entry home is VERY USEFUL I would say NECESSARY for comfort. It can be a challenge to keep the temperature even in this type home. Fans are reversible so you can use them to get the warm air down or cold air up depending on the season! Do not take advise that only focuses on style not practicality or from people who have never lived in your style home!!

I'm so glad to hear from you. My home is a split level home and I find the ceiling fan does help cool the livingroom area in the summer.

I'm painting the other upstairs bedroom. The other two bedrooms upstairs are painted Dulux Crushed Ice ceilings and walls with white trim. Should I also paint this bedroom the same colour. The ceiling has a trim and a flat edge around it. I'm including pictures of the bedding in there. The bed frame is black metal and a black dresser.

Here's the bed frame and footboard. I had the round metal wall decor above the bed. What do you think of it. Not sure what I do.

Here is the color my deck turned out to be. I find it a bit dark but am now stuck with it. What do you think of it?

Hi Janice!

Gosh I still don’t get notifications..but look for you when I can.

Love the idea for walls in bedroom and all your bedding and black metal bed!
I think the deck color looks nice.

I will try to check in when I can.

So happy to hear from you and get your input.

Hi Back in Sept when we last talked I had asked if a particular ceiling fan would be suitable in the entrance foyer of my split level. You had said you felt a nice light would be nicer and said to send you the measurement of the entrance and you would send some suggestions. It's 79"w x 61" l. Also do you think these two pictures go well together? I'm buying new table flatware and can't decide on the gold to go with the two gold flower stands and the gold in the picture or stick with brushed nickel? I'm sending pics, one is a pic of the kitchen colors but there will be white cabinets.

Counters are white with grey flecks yr

I haven't seen all your changes Janice! I love how bright the countertops look in your kitchen.

Hi Janice!
If I am mentioned I get notification..
Thanks Pool🤗

Stick with brushed nickel..but you can still add accents of gold here and there.

Thanks Pool and Salonva

@Home Interiors With Ease,
Thanks Julie and what do you think of the pictures in the family room in the basement? Do they go together?

Yes they compliment each other very well!

@Home Interiors With Ease
Hi again sorry to bother you with so many questions. You had said awhile back that if I sent you the measurements of the front entrance you would send some light suggestions for there. There is a light and a fan there I did have the fan on a lot last summer but am nit sure if it actually helped a lot. I never use it in the winter. I also have two side windows on the bay window in the living room that open up. It's 79" w x 61" long thanks

Janice, I'm not sure why your @ isn't making a link, but let's try again. After you make the @ sign do you see user names pop up to choose from? That is what should happen and then as you type Home Interiors with Ease, her user name should show and you select it/click on it.

Hi Janice
Sorry I am in Michigan..we bought a house and had the inspection today..just checking emails this evening…I will be home on fridays and will check back over the weekend.

@Home Interiors With Ease
Hi Julie, will you be eventually moving to Michigan permanently? I have possibly found a picture for above the towel rack in the main bathroom and am wondering if you think it's a good choice.

Here's the pic

Hi Janice….yes moving back to Michigan and my husband is retiring!

I like that art very nice find!
Did you ever get a new light for staircase area?

@Home Interiors With Ease,
Hi Julie, will you still be doing your interior decorating (on this site)? I sure hope so. I will be lost without your help. No I haven't gotten a light for the staircase yet. I would love your ideas. A few posts back I left posted the measurements of the floor area.

I will look back on posts to get measurements..

I will be very busy after the first of the year..but I will always pop in and out on Houzz!

@Home Interiors With Ease
Hi Julie, I wanted to order this diffuser and it comes in two colors, white and stone. I can't decide which way to go. Stone would go with my couch pillows and it will be sitting on a white end table with a white lamp. Also wondering about a front door wreath. I'm including pics of 4 different ones. The teal blue is the colors in my interior. Should the exterior be a reflection of the interior colors. If so should I repaint my front door a different color that reflects the interior colors and if so what color.

Hers the pics

Also what do you think of this tree it has silver white and gold on it, or should it have teal, gold and white decorations?

Hi does anyone have answers to my questions

Hi Janice
Ok
Go with the neutral color infuser..should just blend in to the room.

Wow have have a lot of door wreaths.
I like the first and second photo with wreath or the swag the best.
Oh you have a pop up tree..they are so easy..I bought one for my mothers years ago and she still puts it up!
It looks great in your room.

@Home Interiors With Ease
Hi Julie , thanks so much for your advice. I sure wish I knew how to fix this notification problem. I noticed that in my profile where it says followers my name is there but it doesn't have a check Mark and I can't for the love of me figure out how to make one happen. I believe thats when the notification problem started.

@Home Interiors With Ease
Hi Julie a while back I sent you a picture of tree picture and asked your opinion about the long picture for the hallway. You said that the colors were right but do you feel it is a good choice to tie in with the decor. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Also do you like either of the smaller pics for the bathroom downstairs. Also do you have any suggestions for lights in the front entranceway (bi-level). Should I paint the bannister white as well.

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a nice Christmas. Mine was quiet as I and everyone in the house had COVID and we were in quarantine. At least I had company. I'm back painting and am wondering what colour I should paint the ceilings. The walls are Scandinavian Blue even in the bathroom.the first picture is the family room area and the second pic is the basement bathroom.

Hi Houzz, people, I haven't been on this thread for awhile. I'm wondering what you think of the Christmas tree. Do you like it white flocked or do you think a green tree would stand out more with the same decorations. The lights are a soft white on either tree. I've sent a pic with the lights on and off.

Here is a pic of the living room blinds. Julie from Houzz suggested the living room ones to tie together with the floor and front of tv console. Should I do the same ones in the kitchen or go a white 2" faux blind? Any suggestions pls?

The kitchen cabinets will be white and there will be 2 shelves beside the sink window stained the same color as the blinds.

Wow Janice your house looks so nice!

Thank you I love it and it's all because of Houzz. Julie from Houzz was a huge help but for some reason she doesn't receive notifications of my posts anymore.

I think white ones would be good in the kitchen the wood might be good but it might feel more heavy I did like the wood ones in the living room the white would be okay if it even had some other color in it like let's say it had some other wood colors that would be good but it can be plain white or an off-white

That was the other color I was thinking of or what about grey?

If your wall is a light gray that might be good a gray

With your stainless sink that would probably be a nice color to blend

HIWE, just giving you an @ ring. :)

Janice, when you use the @ to ping someone, after you type @, wait a second and a box will pop up filtering names as you type. don't put a space behind the @

@Home Interiors With Ease

I don't think it worked for me justcallmepool

are you on the app? I think it doesn't work in the app. If using your phone, try going to Houzz on your browser, safari, google, whatever. Or use a desktop and webpage.
