Budget friendly traditional/transitional backsplash tile?
Comments (7)Not sure what part of Texas you're in, but we just had a Floor & Decor Outlet open near Ft. Worth. You can look online, but it's more fun to look in person in you have one. I know I recently saw a tile online similar to what you posted. I'll have to see if I can remember where it was. Here is a link that might be useful: Floor and Decor...See MoreTraditional Decor in a contemporary house?
Comments (7)We've had a 1939 art moderne home & a mid-century modern home. We never had the $$$ to buy period-appropriate furniture for the homes, but we were able to make our traditional furniture work. We kept wall colors light and the decor mostly monochromatic to emphasize the architecture. No fussy fabrics on the upholstered pieces; we used solids to emphasize the furniture shape. Window treatments were minimal as well: blinds that rolled out of view & added an architectural element when lowered. The windows were very large, so we made sure the views were the wow factor in the rooms. We did have one art deco lyre-shaped console that was visually strong enough to anchor a room & add a modern element. A traditional sofa, chairs, and an oriental rug rounded out the room. We also had traditional dining furniture and an antique mirror. We had lots of compliments on how the traditional furniture worked well in the houses. It was a refresshing change-up from the expected. So I guess in a nutshell, emphasize architecture, windows, furniture shapes & space instead of fussy prints, pictures, & accessories....See MoreContemporary,traditional,country,modern?

Comments (15)I'd just say beautiful!! Great job!! Your kitchen reminds me of my new master bath I'm putting together. Long time ago I saw some gorgeous light fixtures I had to have and they are over the top beautiful crystal and nickle and modern. I spent so much on lighting fixtures that wnen it came time for the cabinets/vanities I tried to find a way to save money. So I opted for some inexpensive, yet very nice vanities that are more of an antique style. Then we come to the flooring and shower. Well, the shower is now going to be glass block, which I believe is pretty generic when it comes to style, and the flooring is porcelain tile in a beige stone look. The walls are a gray/green/blue. So I'm holding my breath waiting to see what all these different elements look like when they are all in place in the same room. If nothing else, I'll just tell people it's shabby/chic!! My poor DH who doesn't know that much about interior design keeps reassuring me it will all look beautiful. I do so want to believe him!! That's what I'm going on right now and hoping for the best. Your kitchen is fabulous!!...See MoreHow to change from traditional to transitional & contemporary decor
Comments (12)I was in a funk when I bought that ugly sofa but will work on other things first. So much brown! I also am very tired of the cabinet & considering placing TV on fireplace wall vs. no tv and large decorative fireplace wall item. Our books & records are important to us; we don't have space for bookshelves elsewhere. This room is used primarily for reading, listening to music, talking with friends. Will rearrange shelves as suggested by deegw (above) & add some colorful decorative objects Paint the shelves? Will definitely replace fireplace screen as well as wrought iron railing going upstairs. Any advice for end tables, lighting/ lamp ideas? I like the teak coffee table suggestion; I was also considering large ottoman. Accessory color ideas? The dog stays!! Thank you. Appreciate your comments so very much....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
