Boring kitchen w/ Cambria Cranbrook quartz(Pics)
Comments (23)There are alot of things in that kitchen that are not attractive and that makes the attractive things not stand out. Our eyes tend to skip on things that somehow stick out and do not seem pleasant. So the goal is to eliminate what does not work before you make it better. Agree with much of what has been said. as you agree, the ceiling fan has to go. I also agree that wood valance has to go. black light has to go. Take everything off the counter and only put up one thing that is really lovely. The pictures are hung in a way that when I first saw them, I went "huh". I would take them out of the room entirely first. You also need to lose the pot hanging rack that has not so attractive acoutrement of cooking. If you want a pot rack, fill it completely full of really useful cooking utensils so that it says "we love to cook here". Another option is to only put up nice looking pots and pans only. Right now, it does not add but only detracts from the decor. I feel the same about the pendant lights. If you want to spend only a little money, get something that is completely neutral so they blend in. The potrack and the lights do not complment the room well. Your ceiling accentuates that you have not so good quality dry wall job. You either need to make sure you have a better paint job or pick a color that does not show the uneveness as much. This again makes my eyes see blemishes first before the beautiful things. A part of this is the picture you posted. But if it shows like this in real person, it may be contribute to the blah. Why do you have a chair rail on one wall but not the rest of the dining room? Again, it is off kilter a bit unfinished feeling. If you have chair rails, this is a great way to bring in a second color to the room, thus giving a contrasting color for visual interest. This is what I would do, take everything off/out that does not quite work. Then start adding one thing at a time and see if it works before adding another accent etc. Painting takes alot of work and is expensive. I think the paint color is doable as is. If you don't mind painting, I would go lighter. At Cambria website, they give you coordinaing BM color for each quartz color. Start from there. You have lovely cabinets and counterop. I think you will pull it together. With a little work, it will look beautiful. Good luck.

Comments (27)We had the Himalayan moon Quartz countertop installed last week!! It’s not exactly what I was expecting! I was thinking it would be more taupe brownish grey, but it comes across as much much more grey! The countertop company IKEA works with here, wouldn’t answer any questions concerning the Himalayan moon, so ordering this was really a stab in the dark! There is quite a bit more variation in this quartz then you might think, so just know that going in!! Like for instance, lots of Random black rivers running through it. I really do like it, I just thought the taupe brown would show up more. We also opted to go without backsplashes, to do tile instead. We had pre-paid for back splashes, so the company agreed to do three windowsills instead! Matching quartz windowsills are a really nice touch! These photos are taken of a not yet completed kitchen, so please excuse the mess!!...See MorePompeii Lincoln quartz?? Too new to find pics?
Comments (11)No, it’s not all the same. Plenty of anecdotal about that. It’s the burden of the ones faking the stuff to provide proof that it’s just as good as the original. Otherwise, it and the $10 Rolex wouldn’t be sold out of a rusty van in an alleyway with a hat pulled over his eyes. They’d shout it from the rooftops with all kinds of studies that they paid for that showed how great it was. And they’d be proud of the origin and not try to disguise it with 47 different Anglicized names....See Moreleawi
