Coordinating fabrics for the bath (off the bedroom)
Comments (17)Oakley - Yeah, I need some florals somewhere! I wish I had a powder room. I'd use some fun wallpaper in there. Shannon - The brown in houndstooth fabric is a dark black/brown. The floral is a rich, dark brown. I held both against my deep brown (SW Woodsy Brown) stairs last night they looked really good with it. Here's a shot of the brown on my stairs. Tina - Neither one of the fabrics are heavy actually. The small houndstooth is much thiner than the larger houndstooth pattern that I'm using for the pillows and bedskirt. The floral is thin but a weird texture though. Kind of nubby feeling on the back. My other shower curtain in the green bathroom is pretty heavy. The main curtain part is pretty thick. The colors look nicer together IRL, btw. The wheat base gets washed out or something in photos. Southernfrenchie- The towels are actually navy in the pictures. They don't really go super with the current floral valance but it's towels we have for now. Tina & Southenfrenchie - They're saying they don't have that paisley in the inspiration photos anymore. That it's been discontinued. They sent a differnet one that looks nice. (see below) I'm sure I could find another one cheaper somewhere else. A few posters said they thought the paisley int he book was Waverly paddock shaw but looking closer I think it's similar but not as much red. Anyhow, where do you guys think I should add the paisley? After I totaled up my shower curtain fabric cost and added it to my total cost I about fell over last night. I'm concerned if I don't order the fabric right now they'll be out later. I saw the floral was discontinued on some sites. I was thinking of using a different fabric for the base since I'll need a lot, to try and save some cost but this is probably one of those things if I don't do it the way I truly want, I won't be 100% happy with it later. If I do the shower curtain and window valance right now I'll have to wait to paint, new curtains for the bedroom, and bamboo blind. (Don't know that I would've been able to do "all" those other things either. Maybe would've been just the curtains and blind.) I also don't have a bedspread to use with the new pillows. I held it up to my tan vellux this morning just for colors ideas and it looked very nice. Going to get a tan coverlet or whatever you want to call the main blanket. Then I was thinking to myself this morning...maybe I can use some of the leftover fabric for mats in art. Just saw that on the Holly Mathis blog yesterday, Tina. My wheels are spinning. :) I'm feeling very chatty this morning. :)...See MoreCoordinating kitchen colors off dish set colors?
Comments (15)Great idea to use those dishes as inspiration. Whatever it takes...and if you love them and they make you happy, go for it. I agree that the pink seems a little off kilter for a kitchen. Blue and white is lovely in a kitchen. Ever think about adding yellow? I am generally not a yellow fan myself, but my kitchen has lovely yellow (not buttercup, not sunshine, actual yellow) walls above a chair rail and beadboard below (so it's not overwhealming) and yellow and blue "stuff" - curtains, plates on walls, lamp shades on chandeliers, etc. Then my adjoining family room is painted blue. It's a great combo and easy to do in any style. Then add some of your bigger accent dishes (big platter, teapot, etc) and you bring in the pink. VOILA. OH...I just remembered that I saw something EXACTLY like your idea in a magazine sitting on my kitchen table. Bought the magazine at Target a few weeks ago (probably have it at home depot too) called Dream Kitchens. Spring/Summer 2009 edition. On page 134 starts an article (with lots of pictures) entitled Made For A Cook. The main idea is that this family has a huge collection of blue and white Spode dishware that they built the kitchen around. Built this big island to display these dishes. Check it out....See MoreCreamy white cabinets - how to coordinate wall color and ceiling color
Comments (7)I'm not a color expert, but I have 2 kitchens each with different shades of white painted cabinets, so I'll offer thoughts based on my experience. For our lake build I wanted a crisp white cottage look that would complement the blue stained island. I was planning on going with the whitest white option. My KD convinced me, as yours did, not to go with stark white. Like you, I was worried it would read creamy, but I'm glad I followed her advice. The cabs positively read clean white in the room. We did go with the stark white with the bathroom vanity and, as she had said, it lacks the richness and depth that the kitchen ones do and looks less like wood and more like a builder grade cab. We did go with a warmer shade on the walls in the open area of the kitchen and I think that helps them stand out as being more white. I wanted a completely different feel in my home and chose creamy cabinets. In both homes I have standard white ceiling paint. This is where the color experts may advise differently, but to my eye it works just fine in both spaces because the ceiling & cabs are on different planes & with the play of shadow & light the whites don't seem to fight in either case. Hope this helps as you sort it out....See MoreCeiling white coordinate with SW Navajo White walls
Comments (1)I definitely would match the ceiling to the crown molding. Any other shade will look off next to it....See MoreJAN MOYER
