Counter height stools for warm modern kitchen?
Comments (8)How about colored metal stools like the ones used in The Brooklyn Limestone blog's kitchen (overstock has a set of 2 similar Tabouret stools on sale for $94): http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefanier/3625791147/ Or the Radius stools from Room and Board: http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=19650&catalog=room&category=rm_dining_spaces&subcategory=din_stool Or these white three-legged stools from overstock might work (2 for $116): http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/White-Three-legged-Metal-Counter-Stools-Set-of-2/5095641/product.html...See MoreIkea Ringhult vs Voxtorp- small, warm minimalist kitchen
Comments (8)Ive seen them all. The voxtorp is very matte and paperwhite. You also have the matte walnut and the glossy beige/ivory. No hardware of course because of the integrated handle. I think this style looks best if you keep the lines the I reheated handle creates aligned throughout most of the design. If you need many different sized cabinets with both doors and drawers, I would personally not go for this front. The Veddinge has a low sheen and is a hint warmer- very classic and standard looking- you can play it up with hardware. Ringhult is like veddinge, plain and smooth only in high gloss. IMO choice of hardware is more limited with a high gloss front due to the style. It will reflect light beautifully (I had a Ringhult kitchen 15 years ago) but does it suit the rest of your design and age of the house? High gloss can work well in older buildings (my apartment was from 1929) but I think it takes a little more thought....See MoreDecorating with orangey oak trim & adding color to open floor plan?
Comments (36)"oak trim clashes with everything". why is painting it now not an option?? it's the one thing in that room that doesn't go w/anything. painting all that baseboard white, as well as the trim, will look so much better. The staircase could also look 10X better with either a new stain, or paint it black. at the very least, do the risers in black or white. Using your rug as a jump-off point, here are some other decor elements. you could use your camel leather sofa, ottoman, and just add some other black/white elements. Gravity is a purple gray. you need to find more of a neutral gray shade that works w/the flooring. (but you'll still need to paint out that trim! ) . Crushed ice is a nice gray, but very light. I love these color combos in your room. they would look great w/your wood ceiling and white trim if you feel you have to have orange trim work and baseboards, try a warmer gray in this color family. bring in some other warmer shades, as long as they work w/the gray floor. also, if you want to keep all the wood along the stairs, it might be worth stripping off the clear coat finish. over time, the clear coat yellows, giving you the orange tint. if you took it back to raw wood and finished it in the same tone of your ceiling, it might look a bit better. but I'd still do the baseboards in white. Here they are against a polished concrete. so much better looking. notice the oak in more of a natural finish. your could look like this....See MoreThoughts on my modern cabin floor plan please....
Comments (28)It's a taste-specific design. Specific thoughts: - Your windows will be great ... though, as other posters have said, that can make indoor climate control difficult. Even with acreage, you'll also need window coverings ... or this place will feel very exposed, especially after dark. - I don't care for the very plain front or the double front doors. At the very least, I'd look into a stoop so guests could shelter from the weather as they wait for you to open the front door. - Where I would like double doors: on the office. Double glass doors lined up with a hallway window ... and also with double doors out to the deck. - In this looooong hall, things are a loooooong way from one another. Things that aren't convenient in such a lengthy house: walking out the door to work and remembering that you've left your phone on your bedside table ... coming home from work and wanting to drop your shoes in the closet ... turning on the hot water in the master and waiting for it to travel from its garage location. Personally, I'd consider making it into a "T" shape ... that is, keep the living areas as you've laid them out, but put the bedrooms onto the top portion of the "T" ... the master pushed towards the back and the secondary bedrooms pushed towards the front. - I'm iffy about a table on that deck ... it's fairly far from the kitchen, and convenience rules where people actually sit down to eat. - I'd look into a pass-through between the garage and the pantry ... it'd cut down on steps with groceries. - I'd flip the laundry and the two secondary bedrooms ... that is, place the laundry nearer the master bedroom. Perhaps you could open a pocket door between the laundry and the master closet. Even if you can't do that, it'll provide more privacy for the master. - I'd go with one nice-sized bathroom to be shared between the two secondary bedrooms instead of two minimal-sized bathrooms. - I agree with the above posters that the closets in the secondary bedrooms are lacking, as is storage throughout the rest of the house. I'd want to line the office with bookshelves /cabinets at the very least....See MoreErika McConnell
