Dresser Homes The door shown here is the front door and is stained Mahogany, but the interior doors are painted the trim color. So are the kitchen cabinets which are shown in other pictures of this project. The color is Gettysburg Gray by the way. Gary Dresser Dresser Homes
Dresser Homes It was a unique rug, so you probably won't be able to find an exact match, but it came from a store here in Atlanta called Verde Home. http://www.verdehomeinc.com/ If you contact them and talk to Laura Walker, I suspect she can find you something comparable.

Ceiling Height - If you paint a stripe of contrasting color around your walls can that make the ceiling height look shorter. I already only have 8' ceilings. »
Chroma Design It seems your main goal is to make the ceiling appear higher. So using a contrasting color as your stripe would actually do the opposite. It would "belt" the room and that's where your eye would go to. Whenever you change colors mid wall, I recommend using trim as a transition. In order to make the ceiling seem taller, you need to take the color above the trim and wrap it to the ceiling.
Dresser Homes I had is custom made by a local guy here in Atlanta. It is a 3'0" wide x 8'0" tall x 2 1/4" thick arched top 3/4 French Mahogany door. You should be able to get someone to product it where you are.

4. Add definition with a painted border. As an alternative to moldings, painting a stripe of contrasting color around your walls can add crisp definition for very little cost. Thinner lines (1 to 3 inches) will give a subtly crisp look, while thicker lines (5 to 8 inches) are a decorative element in their own right.
2. Darker Than the WallsIn my remodel I decided at the last minute to paint the trim a little darker than the walls. Now — honest to God — I spend time just sitting on my sofa admiring the way it looks. It's crisp and modern but somehow mellower than the other way around. And it works in any style room with any style trim.
