Paint a brick fireplace for sale?
Comments (32)The bricks have a uh...antiquey faux old reclaimed painted finish. It's found on the exteriors of many homes in this suburb. The Realtor actually said this one was okay. Makes me wonder! I'm not sure what is messed up, Gammyt--it's odd but properly built. The weird opening is for the crane. The firedogs need to go so the crane works. A closeup. Excuse Farmer Jed. I don't know when the unmatching herringbone stuff was dropped on the floor. Probably after an accident with the bean pot. Yes, it did come with that pot. It will not go with that pot. It is a fabulous cast iron roaster from the 1920s and perfect in every way. OMG do I need to include a bean pot? :O...See MoreNeed help picking neutral (whole) home interior paint color
Comments (101)Comedy of errors (only after we had a few drinks was it comedic) 1. We greatly underestimated the effort to paint textured walls, especially on the ceiling. That and we're 15 years older than many of the projects we've done the past. 2. Turns out we got the wrong color paint. I'm not sure why I had a different color paint stuck in my head and even though I checked color swatches I still got it wrong. And now that we're going to pay someone to do it I definitely want to make sure the color is right. Only after I came back to this post did I realize I gave the store the wrong color. We're going to suck it up and pay someone to do it which is good because that also includes trim and doors. Although now I have to take a week off of work. Good news: we can donate the paint to Habitat for Humanity ReStore....See MorePurchased a home with a lot of OAK need help with paint and kitchen
Comments (16)I used H-Line" Alabaster" which I think is made by Arizona Tile. Both my local tile stores carry it and it was not expensive. It is thicker than home center subway tile. I needed a thicker tile because my quartz did not quite meet the wall in one area due to a bow in my wall. If it hasn't been said, you will want to remove the 4" splash first. If you find gaps between counter and wall, look at the H-Line - it is 1/4" thick. This is my kitchen: https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~110720042 https://www.houzz.com/photos/my-pics-work-in-progress-phvw-vp~109854029 There are many different under cabinet lights and some have lots of extras - like being dimible or changing light tone. Mine are very simple. I started with LED strip lights from a home center store ($75) and plugged them in the wall. Later, an electrician wired the lights to a switch - about $350 - I only had one line to put in a switch. I only did between sink and range because that is my main prep area.

I think most here have been happy with LED strips, though you will want to check the look - whether the lights are "cool" or "warm" because both exist in LED. I would think a lighting store could help, or like me you could start with some inexpensive home center store lights and see what you think. I believe mine are by Patriot Lighting from Menards - but they are probably 4 years old - not sure if that style is still available and they read more warm than cool.. The windows give you a nice amount of light, but the counter area does look dark. I don't mind the dark counters - they work with the wood, but I really like my light counters. You may want to live in the home a while to see how the dark counters work for you. Some complain of fingerprints showing everywhere - but that depends on the particular countertop. I would be torn between preferring light, but not wanting to get rid of perfectly good counters:) There are some dark counters in my idea book. This dark countertop (soapstone) looks pretty with the cream:...See MoreHow to update dark wood trim without paint
Comments (67)Your window panes appear to have divided lights. I'm not sure if you are thinking of hiring a painter, or doing the painting. Either way, the painter is going to charge to do all those divided lights, or you are going to be doing painstaking work yourself. White is very fashionable now, but once you paint woodwork white, it will never go back to being stained wood. To prep, you need to sand lightly every single surface, then primer to keep the color from bleeding, and then you will need to fill every little hole and crevice that you didn't know were there until you put white on it, and how they look bad. Then you can apply the paint. So, I'm thinking that the white has been around for about 20-25 years now. Fashion will be swinging back to the darker colors again, as it has already shown up in cabinetry. The woodwork will have to be replaced if you change your mind and want stained wood in a few years. I agree with the comments about using lighter colors in your furnishing and even artwork on the walls....See MoreP Banos
