Help my nook - clashing woodtones
Comments (17)Is that a sliding class door? I bought ready made ( hardy fabric, and would not show hand prints) curtain panels, sewed the 4 panels together, attached rings to a strong, thick rod. We can easily open them, and they have worked out great. I wish I could post pictures, but I do not know how. My DD is grounded and wants to bribe me to show me how to do it. I am holding my own, and will have to wait until she shows me how. Sorry...See MoreNew cream kitchen will it clash w/ white trim in my home??
Comments (7)I am so happy to see someone else ask this question! I have the same dilemma. It never occured to me when I chose my kitchen cabinets to give any thought to the trim. I just knew I was afraid of sterile white cabinets at the time re remodeled in 2012. My kitchen is cream but all the trim in the entire home is white. All the mouldings & trim in the kitchen match the cabinets. The door between the cabinets which goes into the laundry room was white with white trim as shown in the photo. I ended up painting that a cream color to match the cabinets because it was so noticeable. I don't have a new picture to include showing it painted but it really made a difference. The backsplash has also been changed to a cream glass subway that matches the cabinets and the paint is blue like in the other pictures of adjoining rooms. However, the adjoining rooms (sunroom & family room) still have white trim. It would be a monumental and expensive job repainting all the trim that is visible from the kitchen, as it is an open floor plan with catwalk etc. so I am learning to live with it. Not sure if it is a mistake but I pretend it isn't. Haha!!...See More"Marble" countertop and white backsplash clashing?
Comments (8)Sorry no feedback on finishes, but... is there any flexibility to adjust the design? I'm worried that the right side door of the refrigerator won't open fully because of the wall right there. If there are many units like this, then potentially there will be many refrigerators that aren't ever properly cleaned because the drawers can't be pulled out. I'd try one of: make the pantry cabinets a few inches narrower and add a filler to the right of the ref; move the pantry cabinets to the right of the ref and shift everything left; make the wall a few inches shorter (if the place isn't built yet); split the pantry cabinets so you have a narrow pull out or broom closet or whatever at each end of the run....See MoreWhite plantation shutters clashing with off-white wall colors
Comments (4)Are the shutters a brand? Like Hunter Douglas? If so, you can find out what white was used. As long as the window trim matches the shutter, then you are free to choose the wall color....See Morebpath
