What kind and color hardwood floor do you have???
Comments (34)Howmuchlonger, You're welcome and thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry but I do not have an actual name for the stain on our cabinets. See, we have pine, mahogany and knotty alder doors, the cabinets are select alder and then the natural unstained oak floor. So I went to a small local paint store with a flooring plank and asked them to match the darker streaks in the plank to each of these different woods. They did a little blending here and there and come up with what you see in the pictures. And the best news was they didn't charge me any extra for doing all that. I know I wouldn't have gotten the same service had I gone to a mega-box-store like HD or Lowes....See MoreDark hardwood vs lighter hardwood floors
Comments (61)When it comes to hardwood, trends are something to ignore! Why? Because hardwood is pretty much a lifetime purchase, and unless yours is damaged in some way, you're probably not going to replace it. So, light wood vs. dark wood, wide planks vs. narrow planks -- that stuff's all going to come and go. With that in mind -- as well as the very real concerns about cleaning dark wood -- I'll vote for a nice, neutral midtone every time. Not too much contrast, not too red, and (unless it's a beach house) not too pale. I think this is the wood that's most likely to give you good service and stand the test of time....See MoreWhat couch color compliments gray walls and dark hardwood floors?
Comments (8)Hard without knowing exact shades and your style and the whole concept you're going for, so totally agree with others-nothing will be as helpful as seeing your pics Without that crucial info-I can tell you so many colors your leather can be and work beautifully..whites/off whites, tan, blue, purple, green, pink..you see what's happening here? too many possibilities(and lascatx is right-generally speaking,you pay more if you want more "non-standard" color, not always but in most cases..not without exceptions though, and Macy's, with its limited choice, is indeed an exeption, somewhat. ) but many possibilities are nice to have too:) I personally love leather in colors..and find it much more versatile to use against different backgrounds/with many pallettes, than, say, something like black. (coming from someone who has more leather seating than she'd like to have lol..I've aubergine, off white, sunflower yellow, brick red..ready to switch some of these, at this point, frankly..I covered couple of armchairs as to have other textures, you know. they're obviously not situated in one room either..but one gets tired of leather after 20 years, even though of course it's immensely user friendly))) please post your pics if you want more specific advice/suggestions of stores, etc and whatever your style is-the lines is the most important thing (well and quality of course)..pleasing lines, good lines, whatever color you go for...See MoreHelp choosing wall color for my Hardwood floor( new tone)
Comments (17)Hi Lana! It's tricky to find silvery pale gray that won't go green or brown. The Benjamin Moore color of the year for 2019 is Metropolitan. It looks gorgeous in pictures—but, like Silver Chain, it's too dark for my rooms (registers as wet cement). I studied the BM paint deck and eliminated a lot of other popular grays: Classic Gray (too warm, pink?), Balboa Mist (too beige), Revere Pewter (too brown), Gray Owl (too green), Silver Half Dollar (too blue), Stonington and Conventry Gray (too dark). My 1939 bungalow is a quirky space with wide trim painted BM Super White, which required a neutral backdrop for a scheme of black/white/pops of color. My pick—BM Silver Satin OC-26—the results are FABULOUS! Good luck on your quest....See MoreCelery. Visualization, Rendering images
