1920s Bungalow remodel....what color cabinet hardware??!
Comments (9)I have a 1937 cottage, and trying to retain the vintage feel. I've done a bit of researching on this very topic! No glaze on the cabinets, but chrome or nickel was used very often for kitchens and baths, even if the door hinges are brass, and very dark and aged (mine are too!) So you have lots of knob options.. just the hard part is deciding!! Chrome, nickel, brass, ORB, iron, glass, and ceramic will all work! I *think* I decided on chrome.. and we just ignore the door hardware! Seriously.. I have looked through 1/2 million kitchen pictures and you don't really notice the different finishes unless you really are actually looking for it!...See MoreNeed help with exterior paint colors for 1920s Florida home
Comments (4)Your house is beautiful. I just painted my new craftsman in SW FL with Sherwin Williams 7726 Lemon Verbena for the hardie siding on top, SW 7733 Bamboo Shoot for the stucco on the first floor and SW 7730 Forestwood for the trim. I just personally love greens for a craftsman house but felt that with the light in FL, the greens had to be a bit cleaner and brighter than what is normally chosen for the rest of the country. (The trim isn't finished being painted.)...See MoreExterior color scheme for 1920’s colonial...in need of help!

Comments (3)Its a very cute house. Congratulations on your new home. I dont blame you though, I would be wanting to paint too. That blue doesnt go with one darn thing. i do really like your brick, and it looks like it belongs on your house, please dont paint it. I would look really close at the brick, and the color of the mortar and pick a color of either the mortar or a color in the brick itself ad repaint that blue really fast. I would paint the window trim white, which is probably the way it was when the house was built. I cant tell exactly what color that foundation is, except that it is way too light. It makes the house look like its sitting on a big box on a green yard. Try and pick a color really close to the brick, or a darker gray or brown (I cant tell the color of your roof for sure) so that it looks grounded....See MoreKatherine Wilson
