Should we cut a doorway or not? Are there rules?
Comments (9)c="http://i307.photobucket.com Kjmama-this was project in previous home. About 15 yrs ago. We still had 2 rms aprox 12'x15' ea. Note new headers over new opening to support.I cannot find pic of finished space,sorry. I will continue to look. I redecorated with light carpet through out both rooms and essentially "married" the look to be one greatrm with several activity areas. TV, bookcases,etc. Children could be busy playing while grownups were talking in another area.We loved it. Your best bet is get a quote from contractor and listen how he would do it. He will know strength and stress issues to wall, removal of pipes,elect. If hes worth it, hire him-if not maybe you and DH can do it yourselves after you know specifics. Good luck with your ideas....See MoreShould all rooms be the same color when selling a house?
Comments (15)my mother has sold several abodes, an agent once told her that if should always be white. she has held with that and sold them over asking in record time. it always makes a home see spotless and seems to be the perfect medium for people to project their thoughts of their home on. What was said about matching paint to floors etc, makes sense on the face of it, but having been here awhile, it seems that seems to differ. so if someone despises gray etc. they may have a difficult time. There is one caveat to this. i decorated an old flesh pink and magenta bathroom. The only room my mom ever kept. it got rave reviews from all who saw it. if you have had lots of raves about a room and it was not just the paint color or your family, you may wish to keep it. I think that fresh coat of paint truly is the least expensive way to upgrade your home for sale....See MoreShould the angle of flooring be the same between rooms?

Comments (50)May I just reiterate how grateful I am for the input? cpartist, I have attached a picture of the tile on the fireplace (were you asking me about the tile or the wall color?). I had purchases the 12x12 samples from Samplize and loved the look of Revere Pewter in there on then walls, but did not like it in the kitchen. I thought Edgecomb gray looked nice in the kitchen, and I put that sample next to the tile in various locations, and thought it looked nice. So I had planned on using White Dove for the cabinets, as I thought it looked perfect in the space and worked with both the countertop and the backsplash. But then I hired a color consultant that came recommended from several friends. I was unimpressed with her. She thought that White Dove would not work because she thought it would bother me that my trim on the windows and on the pantry door did not match the cabinet color and she recommended Chantilly Lace. In my opinion, Chantilly Lace looks too white. I have a sample of White Dove, and I think it looks well with both the backsplash and the counter. I could hire another color consultant, but I was completely turned off by the earlier experience. Beth has me wanting to check out other whites, such as Simply White and Oxford White. I had found a Design Dilemma thread where the question was "Simply White or White Dove," and the majority (overwhelming majority) said they liked Simply White more than White Dove. Do you have an opinion on that? I am totally open to trying colors other than White Dove, but, again, I thought it worked until the color consultant told me she thought it would bother me. I do not want to repaint all my trim. Do you think my cabinets can be a little off white and have it look okay with the trim around the windows and the pantry door? Should I consider painting my pantry door (versus the trim)?...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
