Should I re-think my floor in the white-white-white-cream bath?
Comments (3)No, I would not switch out the flooring. The AO tile is not cream, it's a warm white. The difference may be subtle but an offwhite/white color scheme is beautiful if planned from the beginning and is rather difficult to do well and not look like you got a bargain on mix and match fixtures and tile. Go the distance with your original plans and it will all be fine. If anything I might consider going with a different color than ultra-white on the walls. Maybe a soft grey or sage green or aqua or something....See MoreThinking about replacing my mb bed- need suggestions
Comments (9)Hi sis2two...I'm in the same situation as you! We currently have a king sz. bed, and I think I've talked my hubby into getting a queen. (It was an antique reprod. mahog. bed; very tall and lrg.!)...We are currently working on a coffered ceiling in there, and have just put in new hardwoods. I'm currently trying to decide on paint colors; just want something different! I LOVE sleigh beds also, and have been looking at different brands online. I just saw a beautiful 1 on Horchow that is a creamy white color...I wonder if they are hard to deal with a comforter fitting right. I guess it has to be folded and tucked in at the footboard..? I want to see the C. Rogers beds also!...See MoreI bought the paint for MB, but need color for master bath
Comments (4)my3dogs - I remember seeing your bathroom in an earlier thread. Very nice. Now that I see the name "Cecelia", it sounds familiar. I think we do have the same granite. Your tile is a bit darker than mine. When we picked our granite and tile it was based on a 6" sample that had only bits of the dark color in it. We picked the tile to coordinate with the sample. I like the granite slab that we got, but I wish I could have selected the tile by comparing it to the actual slab (I would have gone darker with the tile). That is where I keep getting confused with the color. Since I don't think the tile and the granite work well together, I can't find a paint color to complement both. I do love color, but I'm tempted to just paint the bathroom a neutral cream/beige/off whited/etc... Or maybe something like rust. The cabinets are dark and the granite has slight grey/blue tones, in addition to the rust and creamy colors. That is where I got the grey/blue idea. There are deep purple specks in it too. I just finished painting our 1/2 bath SW plum brown to pick up on those colors. Here are some more pictures of the bathroom. The tile and granite actually look a lot better together in these pictures than they do in real life. I hope you're able to see what I am describing. It is hard to capture the true color of the granite, but I think the first picture is the best. As you can see, I haven't done a thing to it yet! The light fixture will be replaced and I want to frame the mirror after painting. Looking down on the counter, showing a bit of the cabinet and the floor: From the entrance off the master bedroom: Around the corner to the shower and toilet: Granite close-ups (these look a little dark to me): This close-up pic shows the green:...See MoreMy GC thinks I need 1000 cfm and I think he's crazy
Comments (17)I will try to answer questions. I don't know our GC's rationale and that's a good point that I should just ask him to explain his thinking. I doubt he is thinking resale as we have very clear with him that we intend to live in this house for the long term. (And the neighborhood defintiely does not call for huge "professional" gas ranges.) The capture point is a good one. The counter is that it's a small old kitchen. A big hood would dominate unreasonably, IMO. And I'm tall enough to bump my head on it too. So I think the slide out is a decent compromise. We have a gas furnace that is located in the attic. I doubt it has it's own mua, though the attic is also leaky. We have a gas tankless water heater located on the exterior of the house. And we do have a wood burning fireplace--currently never used, but with very long range tentative plans to convert it to gas and use it. The kitchen will have multiple operable windows (one of my main goals for this remodel is windows I can open in the kitchen). Thanks everyone!...See Morerredpenn
