Continuation of Kitchen Update - Need help with Finishing Touch
Comments (19)I think it looks really nice. Good job, not easy being brave! White subway tiles - I would be afraid that white would make your lower cabs and white cabs seem like one big white wall. Maybe not, but its something that occurred to me and I'm not sure I'd like that. I was wondering about your counters, not the color so much but what IS the strip thing in it? What are your counters made of? If this is some sort of sandwiched in material that can't be painted then I would think you are "stuck" with the green right? I'm not personally (who cares!) a fan of the blue you are thinking about but it would technically look nice with the brown, I don't think it goes with the outside greenery though or the forest green stripe. If it were me, I would bring in the gold color from down the hall instead in a material that also has some forest green and maybe some rust, a plaid or floral for the window treatments. Then do some placemats, dishes, table runners, table top treatments, chair pads (not all of them!), with the forest green and maybe some more of the window treatment fabric to tie together. I think that would work better with the lush greenery you see outside. Frames - Several options. If you did the matting right with the black frames your pictures might appear to "float" on the wall. Which could be sort of cool, a slightly more modern look, personal taste in whether you like that or not. You could keep the black frame which essentially disappears, and mat with white, then a skinny black and then white - so the black mat then becomes the black frame, now highlighted. Or you could try to match frames to your lighting hardware (is that oil rubbed bronze?) but you might run into the same problem of it being too muted against the brown. Or, you have some stainless steel things, you could complete that by painting your wrought item wall hanger things and basket stainless steel with spray paint and go with silver frames. Really, you could quite a lot here. I think white frames would be a bit much for me but I think one or two large substantial wood painted white frames might work, just not a lot of little pictures in thin white frames. Even if you stopped now it looks nice. Keep everyone updated! P.S. If privacy is an issue with those windows, I really liked my solar shades, you can hide them with a valence. And they come in something similar to a goldish color....See MoreNeed help with finishing touches
Comments (8)Lovely room! Your table works so well, I'm not sure adding another would help unless you need it for functional reasons. Something small with a marble top would go well, I think. Your coffee table is a great design with the glass and brass. I agree plantation shutters on the lower sash of the small window. Then, you may want to see if a portrait oriented mirror over the chest in the left corner balances out the brightness of the small window. Are those two gorgeous wood framed a "lady/gent" pair? My eyes want to see the pairs side-by-side, instead of opposite, on the view from the entrance. Though, opposites attract, right? :-)...See MoreNeed help with finishing touches on Living Room
Comments (6)Great start Nancy !!!! The rug is NOT to big !! Looks great, def. see some color added tho, what colors do you like is really the question. You can do almost anything. Can you face the couch toward the fp, and flank the 2 chairs with side and perhaps the club chair next to the pf wit a small table? you only know if you try it. One larger brighter piece over the fp will make it appear larger and of course brighter. If you leave the 2 chairs in front of the fp, try a small round table in-between otherwise they look disconnected. Hope this helps a bit, have fun, good luck, best, Debra...See MoreNeed Help w/Finishing Touches Outdoor Patio
Comments (6)I love the colors of the little lumbar pillow on your lounge chair. It incorporates the blues and the turquoise colors that your space calls for, and echoes the color of your pool water. I’d look right now for outdoor synthetic rugs in a natural color to ground your space (think faux sea grass banded in navy or indigo), and then get more bright blue pillows for your furniture. Navy blue pots planted with seasonal flowers, accessories....you have a lovely space!...See Morefreedomplace1
