Are light colors 'classier' than darker colors?
Comments (106)sandyponder - that's a beautiful color. It works so well with the wood, the stone, the leather, and the oriental rug. I think this is an example of a "classy" dark color. "Classiness" doesn't have to enter into it... any shade can be classy, though of course people have personal preferences and may still not like a dark palette, or a light palette. But I suppose "classiness" (meaning lack of tackiness and a professional look) can enter in... as I wrote above, I think it can come down to a homeowner picking the WRONG shade... and I suppose "classiness" (or lack thereof) comes into it in that if they do pick the wrong shade it can look amateurish and tacky. Low-class. It's simply harder to make an egregious mistake with lighter colors... hence less of a chance to veer into the "tacky" and "unclassy" realm. (It's also much easier to paint with light colors - small errors in application do not show that much.) But I would never look at a well-done dark color and think it wasn't classy simply because it was dark, or even simply because it wasn't my particular cup of tea. Also... I think it comes down to current styles. Light is 'in' right now. White kitchens, light neutrals in the living areas, etc.. And bucking the trend can be perceived as less-than-classy even if it isn't....See MoreLocation of art piece question.
Comments (48)Wow! I am catching up here, and have to say how different the lighting/room view/color issue is from the first photo posted to the last one at 16:16 with the Christmas decor. That one, it looks wonderful and warm and looks like it belongs. The first photo the fireplace and even the walls had a more gray cast to them, which I think is why the picture and the reds/burgundy looked a bit like a miss. Amazing what lighting does. I was also going to add that the mirror storklady just posted looks lovely- if you were still thinking mirror- size looks perfect, it's affordable and it does have the black that you were seeking (but its not too heavy looking at least in my opinion). And, you had asked- my fireplace is a very generic brick with a very unattractive mantel that I have ignored for the 20 years I have lived in this house. Finally - I meant to say originally that I LOVE that fan....See MoreFinal Kitchen Pics (long winded text)
Comments (33)elizpiz- The island and the base cabs where the soapstone sink is are painted a subtle green which sometimes seems almost grey. To make the transition to the white frig panels and to make the area under the speed oven seem more furniture-like, we painted the drawers the same green as the cabs and the background the same white as the frig and the uppers. I wanted to make the little drawer under the speed oven special and had planned on making it the sole drawer painted orange. Unfortunately, I didn't get my knobs in time to match so I made that the only drawer with a different piece of hardware. Also, you are seeing the library where the cookbooks are. I'll have my husband take more of a close-up so you can see the books. I'm a sick, sick puppy. And no I probably can't get rid of anything but I'd be happy to have you take a look. newbieremodeler - The cabs are custom. I based the sizes on what I needed to put there. I'm attaching my plan to give you an idea. I not only mixed slab and inset but some cabs are framed and some are frameless. The cooking side of the island is frameless and the side with the doors are framed. My cabinet maker did not love me. a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42398147@N05/4604516040/" title="0001dR by Carem2, on Flickr"> Pretty obsessive, huh?...See MoreShow me your iPhone case?
Comments (42)If you give mouse an iphone, she goes looking for a case. When that case cracks, she needs to get a new one. When she goes to buy a new one, she can't find anything she really likes. So she buys a cheapo one. Now she is feeling flush, so she remembers that one of the cases she saw was Louis Vuitton. She remembers that her existing LV wallet is 17 years old and looking a little worn. She goes to LV and buys a new wallet, and then hightails it out of the store before she gets her paws on anything else. PS the flagship NYC LV store, just saying, looks like Beijing. The customers and the staff. One token blonde salesperson. There was a language barrier with my salesperson; she spoke Chinese and her English was pretty hard to understand and limited (eg she didn't know the names of colors well). I think this brand is out, OUT, out, for everybody in my time zone! I wonder what I will buy after this one wears out in 17 years!...See More- 3 years ago
