Does anyone know what color gold this is?
Comments (19)They're just Squirrel-y mixes. They're not really boring, I don't think. Just not at all the mood you're after. It also doesn't seem to jive with the colors or feeling of your more vibrant, tropical and happy colors in the fr/kitchen area (or insp pic! : ) Curious, though, since you have chosen the brown-gold drapes and maybe the carpet color, which seems to have some gray to it. I think those selections would be difficult to do a vibrant/tropical room color with....See MoreDoes ANYONE like builder grade oak cabinets?
Comments (56)To the original question - does anyone like builder grade oak cabinets - my answer is no. But that's mainly because the particle board parts of the drawers and carcass usually come apart at some point, like the drawer front that came off in someone's hand. The thread seems to have veered off into a question of whether even solid oak cabinets are liked, and or dated. I love my oak cabinets even though they need to be refinished. They are good quality, custom built though, and I think that makes a difference. I also like painted cabinets, and might even go that route next time. This thread kind of reminds me of something that happened in 1978. We bought our first house that year, and so did some good friends. Both our kitchens had painted cabinets. Mine were brown with yellow doors, which I hated, along with the fact that they were older. I stripped and refinished them and they looked so much better. They were a slab style solid wood though I can't remember what kind now. My friend's cabinets (and house) were newer, white, raised panel with arched top. I thought they were gorgeous, but she thought they were terribly dated since wood was really in then, so she started stripping hers too. That's when she found out that the doors were made of particle board, and stripping ruined two of them. All that to say that painted vs wood comes and goes as we've discussed here before. If you like your cabinets and they are in good shape, keep the wood finished. If not, paint them. Whichever you choose, it will come back if it's not in now, and it will be out if it's not now. And that's probably the same with arched tops, beadboard panels, aprons between cabinets, and so on....See MoreSearching for a tile similar to Falling Water, but less expensive
Comments (4)I love those...But I don't think you'll find something of that pattern for less than the $15.80/sq ft..or that general vicinity. We did some slate tiles in a more regular pattern that I found at Home Depot for $2.99/sq ft (on the rack with special order floor tiles). The same texture and color ranges of the FallingWater tiles, and the overall organic feel I wanted, but not the pattern. We used the 4 x 8's but there were other choices, including some smaller, I think. I've also seen smaller mosaic bricks and squares in that same type of slate (actually quartzite like in the link below), but can't remember the price. It seems it would be less, but tile prices and what seems like logic don't always go together! Here is another site with the ones I was thinking of. The mosaics are in the same line as the Fallingwater, so maybe a less expensive option for the same stone options/colors. http://www.unitedtile.com/.docs/pg/10619 Here are my HD slate tiles: Here is a link that might be useful: See the white-gold quartzite on this page-no price, though...See Moredoes anyone have ornate pulls or knobs? pics?
Comments (46)Thanks so much Beth. I had to use my computer to make the email changes. I couldn't do it on my ipad. I can get emails now Bechem (Kim)!!!!! Please feel free to get in touch! Can't wait to see your finished project Jenncent. I feel like I'm going to love love love all of your choices. It's so much fun, but every time you make a decision that means you have to NOT choose other things that you love. It's hard, but exciting. Good luck!...See MoreBeverlyFLADeziner
