Please help me choose a paint for my new living room
Comments (4)With beautiful windows like that I can't help but think of bringing a color of the outdoors in. Have you seen BM's Baby Turtle? Bit of tan with a hint of green to it. Or what about BM's Wilmington Tan - it is a really nice color (I have this in my bedroom). Or another nice color is BM Desert Tan - this one is on the lighter side but it is very pretty (I just purchased a can yesterday). It is hard to say really without seeing your furnishings or an area rug if you are planning on having one. Good luck it really is a beautiful area. Have you seen the color threads in the gallery section? Super helpful. Cheers. Haley...See MoreHelp me choose an area rug for dining room
Comments (9)It's a lovely room but I would choose a larger rug which will make the room look even more elegant and rich. A rug with a border, such as the two directly above, gives a more finished look. Also, a rug with a bit more color variation, perhaps gray or cream with a soft terracotta, would lend more life to your dining room....See MoreHelp in choosing living and dining room rugs
Comments (8)Esalerugs is having a big sale that ends today. 50-60% off a large variety of rugs, with an additional 10% off if you buy two rugs. I just ordered two there today myself. You might look and see if anything appeals to you, as there are some good deals to be had. Many of us who have participated here for a long time have been pleased with our purchases from that site. (Not spam; no affiliation whatsoever.) No idea what your budget is, but this 9'5" x 12'7" Persian Tabriz baby is fab. Traditional in design, but the colors give it a unique twist. https://esalerugs.com/green-9x12-tabriz-persian-rug-110902024...See MorePlease help me choose the right fixtures for my kitchen/dining room?
Comments (21)Everyone's remodel takes longer than they think! I'll be 1 1/2 years out on a kitchen remodel we thought would take 6 months, so I'm sure you're doing great. Thanks for the big photo of the fixture, and it does look perfect for your space with a nice blend of those colors in the drapery hardware as well as your somerset pendants and the mirrors. As for the mirrors, really anything can be made to work and blend into a space as long as colors, textures or patterns are repeated elsewhere in the room. If you like the mirrors, by all means keep them as they are despite all the opinions people are giving you. Other people aren't living with the space -- you are. It sounds like your pendant hanging length isn't going to interfere with head or visual space, but I'm not an expert on that so double-check the measurements. If your counters are a standard 36" high and the pendants reach 36" above that, then I think you'll be fine. Some people are putting in elongated fixtures over long dining tables, similar to the ones you posted in previous photos, but I have a dining table that is long with a small chandelier above it and have never felt that the fixture was too small. If you like the colors and shape of the round one you just posted, I think it would work for your long table, especially because it has so many lights in it. You might want to think about installing it with a dimmer so that it is not actually too bright for some occasions. I'm happy to throw in my suggestions as so many people have helped me a ton with our remodel here in the Houzz forums, primarily through the archive of searchable posts. I'm like you trying to make decisions on my own, so it's required a lot of time researching everything....See MoreRelated Professionals
