Part 2 of "Help with bedding style"; Should I get a new bedstead?
Comments (4)Danielle, I like the bed you posted, but I'll hit my shins on the ends; I know this will happen. My room is small. I am thinking that a taller footboard will give me a visual to direct me away from the end of the bed. The first bed I show, has a foot board that is sturdy enough to use as a temp seat to help in putting on socks. I need more openness at the headboard too, because of the window that it is partially covered by any headboard....See Morewhat color should I paint the walls in my new kitchen?
Comments (5)Aha we must have posted at the same time. I’d test a few colors on the walls, but if you want a nice light gray that has no undertones I can recommend Classic Gray by Benjamin Moore. I tried about 10 grays and that one was perfect for a cool toned kitchen....See MoreWhat color(s) should we paint the interior of our new home?
Comments (5)Congratulations on your new home - how exciting! I would not paint the walls grey/blue/green due to the orange/yellow wood. Those colors would look nice in your home but may feel a little old-fashioned to you. In my opinion, grey has been overdone and it's time for something fresher. I would paint both the walls and the wood trim the same soft white to give it a more modern feel. The trim is not very substantial so just paint it out altogether. Bring in color with your furniture or art. When you eventually replace the flooring you can think about changing the trim too. Look at Benjamin Moore OC-117 Simply White, or perhaps OC-118 Snowfall White or OC-149 Decorator's White....See MoreWhat color should I paint the Bedroom Walls & Stencil?
Comments (11)Hi Patricia. I love the color. I chose it for my bedroom and another small room in my house that is my exercise room. I love it on all 4 walls in my exercise room, but thought it was too much in my bedroom, hence why I painted it as a feature wall. Here is the stencil I am only updating the paint & curtains in my bedroom. The room is a north facing room. I live in SE Texas; long hot summers and I am going for a tropical theme. I am not redesigning my entire bedroom, just updating the color, since the walls were painted Toasted Almond by the builder when I purchased the house 8 years ago. All of the furniture is a deep brown, like a Mahagony. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6251250/bedroom-color-dilemma-warm-tropical-color-theme#27653926 This sample bedroom from Behr's website is sorta what the colors will be like in Bedroom & bathroom (though my bathroom cabinets and bedroom furniture are all deep brown Mahagony)....See MoreTammy G
