Rug needs to be lighter more open not so traditional…backsplash is beautiful

For what it's worth, I like the rug to ground the room.

What do you think if something like this?

Julie by looking at your bed it mimicks the color that came in.  My ipad is not showing me a clear picture of anything and Lord, don't let me get my phone from my grandson!  Where did you find the rug.  I may be able to pull it up and see it better.

I found the rug with multiple color options. Since the bed had a slightly greenish tint in the box would I be looking for grays or creams. Love the price of the on Julie posted! I’m so excited to work on one room! Thanks and please keep the suggestions coming.

Robi - what size are you thinking you'll need?

Here's a couple I found. They are both from Loloi. The second one is from the alie collection. The second is from the adrian collection and has a greenish tint to it. I have this style rug from here and it wears like iron. super easy to care for. https://www.loloirugs.com/collections/rugs?refinementList%5Bmeta.loloi.variant_option%5D%5B0%5D=8%20x%2010

I think the grey and neutral/cream would be beautiful..leaves you with lots of options if you wanted to add and print pillows or any other color…you know I love mixes if grey and neutrals..so calm.

Following :)

Backsplash and cabinets complete and to end with a beautiful sunset.

Stucco painted and now you can see the garage doors better. It’s too late to like or not. It really looks so so much better! Hopefully porch update next week.

Now back to the room decorating.

Everything looks great.

The roof is scheduled to be replaced this week as well as the rest of the stone and stucco. Now needing trim colors. The stucco man was adamant about using his brochure colors but somehow he said we could use Agreeable Gray.

The backsplash is perfect. I tend to lean towards a bit more color in rugs, so I love the second choice. Perhaps you have two rooms that need rugs?

I’m not sure where the time goes. I started the gym last week for some unknown reason and gosh my body, fingernails and hair hurt. I’ll try not to over post but working on a few things so I’ll do 2 post.

I ordered these lamps and a white quilt with a taupe blanket for the guest room. Will these lamps work with the Cane bed or should I be looking in a different direction. I’d rather it be right so no hard feelings. The lamp is by Safeviah not Pottery Barn. This is as far as I’ve come in this room. What other color should I add? The color of the room is SW alabaster. Rug, art and curtains. I’ll need to add another piece of furniture to go with the bed and nightstands. What do you think?

So here is the big favor…. I’m asking alot here!!!

Please if anyone can do a mock up to help me figure this front porch please do!! Should I start a new post for this?

Front door in the corner cannot be move. We are leaning towards a double door with 9 lites. The side lites carry bad memories.

We are waiting on brackets so the beams can be installed.

I need help with everything but would love thoughts on the gable back wall, positioning steps and lights.

1. Run vertical hardy plank up to the point, paint the ceiling the trim color (not chosen yet) and use only the cedar beams in the front.

2. run the stone up the back wall, put wood blanks for the ceiling stained to match the beams.

3. run the stone up the back wall paint ceiling roof trim color TBD and stain cedar beams.

What about adding something over the windows on the 2 windows. Those are actually part of the garage.

Here are a few pictures I tried taking a pic of entire house but dumpster was in the way.

Here are a few other I’ve been looking at. The roof pitch is 5. - 12 if that matters.

Sorry to post so much. Really needing some advice.

Robi - I would take these last photos and this specific dilemma to another post. There are some amazingly talented people who are better at these architectural questions and they may not be seeing this longer thread.

The decor question- Julie may have some ideas but that lamp is posting very “white” on my monitor. I would look for a different type of lamp to go with the cane beds.

Also, that comforter and pillow cases look A LOT like what I have on MY cane bed, so I love all the bedding. Mine is from The Company Store.

I have antique glass lamps next to my cane bed so as to avoid design conflicts. Would that appeal to you and your brother? Something in a clear glass that is neutral.

Thanks RedRyder.  I got the white bedding from Dilliards.  The bedrooms will be completely finished this week and I'll bring the headboard in with the bed/blankets just to see the color.  The lamp is more of a cream but I'm open to suggestions.

Houzz is not working in my favor tonight!

RedRyder this is the lamp in my LR.

Also, grout installed. These will be the last photos of the kitchen until the lights are installed. Yesterday, I Uncovered everything, cleaned, played and recovered. We are making much progress!

I feel like an author of my own story. Sitting her singing in the grass picking my brain apart. If I’m struggling with the guest room, Lord help me!!

Julie, i like the clean of the rug you shared. Would those colors work with my bedding selection?

,mnmamax3 - I really like the first rug. The link isn’t working. Can you tell me the name?

@Robi J - try this link: https://www.loloirugs.com/products/ale-03-al-taupe-dove-1

It's the Alie collection in Taupe/dove.

@Robi J - the kitchen looks fantastic! If nothing else works out, you gave your brother a drop dead gorgeous place to enjoy meals.

Let me do some lamp shopping. I think bedside lamps - when you have a gorgeous cane bed - need to be thinner and play “second best” to the main event.

Robi did you pick NS yet for this guest room? The size will help with lamp choice…I do really like the lamp you picked..what is the shade width?
Here is a lamp I like for the room but again what is NS size?

I would add just a touch of blue in art maybe a pillow or throw…if a chair or bench could fit a blue fabric would be nice for that too!

Beautiful Beautiful kitchen!!!!!

Wow!! Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions. I’m coming back to life after a severe migraine took over my life. When the med fog lifts, I will look at all the lamps. I’m so thankful you guys are here helping me see this house come together

I did order this 30” nightstand from Birch for the guest room. The room is big enough to handle two but wanted to see if it would go with the bed and I feel guilty for spending his money. Should I go with a 2 or 3 drawer nightstand?

Either use the same material (as the counter) for the backsplash or a solid-color material which matches one color in the counter. Don’t use a different patterned material for the backsplash.

Felizlady the backsplash is done…scroll back and take a look it turned out beautiful!

Robi what is the depth of the NS?

Hey! The nightstand is H29”xD18”xW28. I went ahead and ordered the other nightstand. It’s quiet at my house so it’s lamp time. So many choices!

Buyers remorse and it’s too late to return. I bought this table for the foyer feel it’s going to look lost in this big open space. Without looking at the table I purchased what could you see on this wall. The front door is being changed out to double doors.

It looks like a good behind the sofa table?

Plf12652 the furniture isn’t in the house, yet. We picked out a gray sectional and the sofa was an example with the table online. Maybe his table will work in his LR. With everyone’s help, I’m trying to have a good bit of the interior furnishings before he moves in. I put us under pressure by having an 85th surprise birthday party for our mom April 9th. No pressure!

Lamps are narrowing down. I’m very serious when I say, I feel guilty for spending his money, so I’m looking for good prices.

I like the idea of the table that you chose. With a huge piece of colorful art hung above it and, perhaps, two rug upholstered, bright colored ottomans beneath it. A buffet style lamp on far right side of the table top. Color?

Not sure what the width of the table you bought is but it seems that the table should be about as wide as that middle section of the wall.

Rob with the front door singing into the entry I think the size might be fine…what is the width of the table? I think I had asked before and what is the size of that middle section if entry wall?

Robi…not Rob!

Not Singing…Swinging!🤣🤣🤣

The table is 60L x 16w x 30h
The middle section of the the foyer wall is 57”. If I can fit that table in my car I will bring and take a pic.

RedRyder, I love the 2nd and 3rd lamp. They are beautiful!!

Julie, I can’t find the lamp you posted. Do you have a link or let me know where to look.

I will be meeting the blind/shade person tomorrow. Would you suggest a solid shade or pattern? Thanks for your help.

.

I think the sofa table is going to work there perfectly…a beautiful piece of art a lamp…

FYI, this is a scam site. They try to confuse people with the name — they are not affiliated with the real Cotswold Grey company. They added an ”s” to the url, and their contact info is fake, as is the ”About” page. The grammar and punctuation are laughably bad. Their social media links go to nothing.

ETA: I’ve seen a lot of scam sites shared on these boards lately, just a heads-up to always check that a place is legit.

I’ve enjoyed following along on your thread and journey, Robi. :)

Thank you Jilly. I did wonder why it wasn’t giving me any information or saying payment invalid. I checked with my bank and it looks good. There are pretty lamps we can find for the guest bedroom.

Then the DR curtains, rug, and art. That should be easy with everyone helping. Feel like I’m missing something for the DR.

I’m showing my brother my spreadsheets of what room needs what, already purchased , cost associated per room as well as tagging each line receipt numbers.
