stuck in the 90's
Comments (12)I very much like the cabinets in the kitchen - I think bleached wood is much preferable to painted cabinets, but the countertops should probably be replaced, if you plan on doing much cooking there. The kitchen cabinets do not look pink like the living room cabinets - are they a different finish, or is that because of the lighting? I would want to replace the white appliances, but again if you seldom use the kitchen, it would not be a priority. Since the living room is so long, I would not put the TV in the corner, and above the fireplace is the only logical place to put it, especially if you do intend to watch much TV while you are there. When you reface the fireplace, perhaps you can lower the mantel so that the TV can be placed lower. I would also be concerned about the heat from the fireplace damaging the TV. Perhaps you could have a portable TV table that you tuck away into the niche with the base cabinets for when you want to have a fire in the fireplace. The balloon valances give a dated look, but the curtains are okay, from what I can tell. How much do you want to put into updating it?...See MoreReplace 90s Chandelier in Foyer

Comments (41)I love the character of your room! I agree with cpartist that blue walls would highlight the orange tones of the wood, so that's something to consider, though is not necessarily a bad thing if you like that look. A deep, dark navy, something like BM's Hale Navy, probably wouldn't have the orange-highlighting effect as much as the less saturated blues in the mock ups. I also love aktillery's example of the her husband's office in Pewter Green and think that (or something like it) would look great in your space. Though I completely disagree with the sentiment that white rooms are boring, especially when the ceiling and architecture ooze character as yours do, I understand that they're not for everyone. I think a warm off-white would look beautiful, but it sounds like it wouldn't suit your tastes. Hope you'll update us with whatever you decide!...See MoreNeed to update this 90s exterior and increase the curb appeal! Help!
Comments (8)I don't know the purpose of that arch. It was originally designed that way, and yet nothing goes there. There is an inset shower window but up under there, so maybe the thought was to hide it from the curb. But, I had not considered actually putting something there - a fountain or something sculptural would be quite lovely there. And, I am thinking about a single door with sidelights too. I was just looking a pictures of a house with a wood and glass door, and maybe doing wood on the garage to complement it, though not sure about adding wood to the facade....See MoreIg222
