How can I make my mantel POP? Pictures
Comments (133)Oakleyok, you have a gorgeous fireplace! I love the stone. Your DH has a reason to be proud! I was entertained by reading this thread of suggestions. You asked how you could make your mantel POP and you were told to paint, replace the mantel itself, removed the mantel, etc. Last week I asked about a paint color for my DR and posted my inspiration photo. I also stated that I didn't have to have that room exactly but was wondering how the paint color would look with my lighting, floors, furniture etc. I did get some good feedback but now it seems I must repaint my trim, paint my table, remove my blinds, paint my china cabinet....and the list goes on. All great suggestions but I really just wanted to ask about paint color :) But it did help me think about things and I have decided to paint my table. I had NEVER even thought about it before organicnoob suggested. Good luck with your lovely mantel!...See Moresmall kitchen how do I make it feel bigger
Comments (4)I would encourage you to take advantage of the layout help here. There are some amazingly talented and generous people who will make sure you get the best possible layout for your space and needs--for free! I have remodeled three different kitchens with this forum and each one has been better because of the input I got here. As far as pure looks, I think low contrast helps make a space look bigger. So for example one combination is white cabinets, white appliances, light countertop, white backsplash. A quick google search turned up a BHG article. I am sure you can find many more with suggestions. http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/small/make-a-small-kitchen-look-larger/ i will also say that properly sized appliances can make a small ktichen look and work better. Our first kitchen was tiny and the previous owner had shoehorned in a regular refrigerators. Switching out to a great smaller one made the kitchen a 100 times better....See MoreHow do I make my figs bigger?
Comments (12)HU, it is not the container that make the figs bigger, a larger container such as a 25g will produce a larger Plant as the container will support a larger root system. Some fig strains naturally have bigger figs while other fig types have smaller figs. Think of mulberry fruit some types are naturally bigger than others. You can experiment by pruning the ends of your fruiting branches and pruning any new shoot growth immediately from said branch to limit the fruit set and most likely the figs on branch may grow slightly larger but at the cost of less fruit to eat. As for potting mix you will get many different answers to that question some make their own , at my age i prefer to buy name brand potting mixes such as Pro Mix and once in a while add lime and also fertilizer.

Comments (22)I think room in general should be grounded/balanced with heavier chairs and the side table, tv should be mounted for safety and create a more interesting entrance with accessories. You mentioned that tv can‘t be moved, but perhaps your supplier could provide options and then you could change layout. If interested, I‘d wait to make updates until floor plan is firm. 1. Try couch under window, create a focal wall with TV, your art above console and a large plant. 2. Couch facing tv on big wall. In either of the above choices, try in different locations to see best configuration....See More

2 years agoA cross stitch by your aunt? Such a wonderful family treasure! The others are correct though, it's too small on its own for that wall and a larger frame/mat will not help. However, there is another option - make your cross stitch a part of a picture/art gallery wall.

2 years agoAnything can be done; it just depends on how much $$ you are willing to spend and the time and effort it takes to get we’re you want to go with this! This painting was not quite large enough for the very big wall the homeowners wanted it on. I painted a “ frame” on the wall in blue and applied simple picture frame molding that I goldleafed to the edges . Large sconces gave the whole thing a larger presence .

I thought mine was small! Wonder what your aunt did hers on. Mine is on linen and that is about as small as x-stitch gets!!
