Must paint fireplace NOW. What color?
Comments (12)Thanks II. The furn is staying. The wall over the mantle is currently a gold color, yes. The whole room used to be that color. Above the mantle is the last section that needs to change. I have that kitchen blue paint I could use. I also have the khaki-ish sidewall color. I could try to darken it a little for the area above the mantle. Thanks, AMy, 1.Side walls are raffia basket, the new color which will remain. 2. Above the mantle is some variation on the old color - boardwalk. It needs to change. The area above the mantle, and possible the mantle itself, is all I want to paint at this time. OPtion 1: sliver basically white or whitish. That sliver looked good painted slightly lighter than the bricks in the before. But now the bricks appear much lighter and more prominent than they did before, and I don't see how I can paint the sliver any lighter than the bricks? Can I? Should I? The bricks are color matched to my kitchen cabs, which are very close to BM Navaho white. The sliver is in a bit of a hole, so maybe whatever I paint in there will look darker? I need the mantle to stand in for some kind of architecture or richness in the room. Am I seeing it wrongly? Influence me. With this option, I could paint the mantle another color but I wouldn't know what. Brown is too much like the wood tone the mantle should really be, and would look like stage makeup. Taupes are too tricky. Blue? Option 2: Sliver painted Sidewall color. I'm thinking of taking the side wall color and trying to darken it just a little and paint the sliver. This might provide a little interest and make that wall recede a tiny bit. Or, maybe the sidewall color will appear a bit darker when it is painted on the sliver because the sliver is in a hole. Option 3: Sliver painted blue....See MoreWhat color for my entryway runner rug?
Comments (11)Thanks for all the suggestions. Where the entrance widens is actually where to kitchen begins (appliances are hidden to the left), I've added a wooden bar table and black chairs that go up against the right wall in the kitchen. The length of the entrance before it widens is actually 10ft now that I'm measuring it with tape. I'm picturing a 6ft runner at the entrance and then a 3x5 area rug in the kitchen (where it widens in the pic). Do you think the runner and area rug should be a set that go together? Any help with that would be great!...See MoreWhat size of rug for this entry?
Comments (31)I understand... you must like it. I keep looking toward the dining space and it's polar opposite it appears from the space you are placing the rug. Some how I'd like to see the two rooms work together. I found a rug similar to the ones you posted that were very bright and we both felt they said, "look at me"! I found one some what similar, but again don't feel it works well in that style with the dining space which is right there....See MoreSmall entry - what kind of rug with this console?
Comments (4)I agree that going without a rug is probably your best move. You can follow your heart for what to put on the wall -- one always should, anyway. If you feel lost, I suggest you look at clean, modern abstracts for a start, in colours you love. I'm not directly recommending this painting, because it's sold, but it's a good page to look at, anyway. I can just imagine something like this above that console. In terms of wider decoration, you could then use the colours in the painting by carrying them through to adjoining rooms. There are so many ways to do that. https://www.1stdibs.com/art/paintings/abstract-paintings/melissa-payne-baker-room-to-grow-mixed-media-on-canvas-abstract-painting/id-a_2587083/...See MoreRelated Professionals
