Natural cherry cabinet...color of flooring??? Please help
Comments (3)I find with cherry that a similar toned floor to cabinets looks great. Take a look... The wood really is so pretty, so let it be the focal point. You can break up the monochromatic palette with runners and area rugs. Hope this helps. Charmean Neithart...See MoreHelp with my kitchen please!!!! white veneer maple or natural maple?...
Comments (5)Both white kitchens and maple kitchens are quite classic, so I think either will stand the test of time well if you choose a simple cabinet door style (like Shaker) rather than something with a more elaborate raised panel or a trendy antiqued glaze. It is details that date a kitchen more than the basic materials. Maple cabinets will be just a bit more durable than white painted cabinets, but not so substantially that you should make this the entire basis of your decision. We've had off-white kitchens for the last 20 years and loved them....See MoreNeed help ridding new house of fleas!
Comments (6)Get a spray product (Adams is good) anywhere , spray floors, vacuum every day...vibration makes the eggs hatch out and then you can kill them, vacuum all floor edges, furniture crevices. If you have animals get the spot on type of flea control. It's expensive but so worth it!...See MoreMY LIVING ROOM IS ALL OFF! PLEASE HELP!!!
Comments (62)Can see why your husband doesn't want to part w/ the coffee table...as it's pretty sharp looking...no pun intended:) So..if that's not an option at this time, think you received some good suggestions from some of the above posters that will work nicely to help balance the room and coffee table...for time being...and possibly on a permanent basis. Here are my favourites: Goveraxle mentioned: adding something like a large plant in maybe a fun pot on left side of tv to help visually balance the large offset coffee table. Think this will work nicely...but would also suggest you do away with those 2 narrow columns on either side of tv that look like DVD holders? ...as they are emphasizing whole offset coffee table issue. Couple others also suggested the matching ottoman as extension of the chaise to help balance the room. This will also work nicely and need be...ottoman can also be used as 'the coffee' table once baby starts to strut around....and can be used with above groveraxles large plant suggestion. Alternative to ottoman suggestion that could work to balance room was another posters idea of a smaller fun swivel chair off left to tv on chaise side that could also help balance the room. Re. Ceiling light. Need to decide if it will be centred on tv or coffee table. From pics supplied, suggest maybe the tv. If ceiling fixture does need to be moved a bit...relatively easy solution is to get a decorative drywall/ceiling hook ...from lowes/home depot/local hardware store...extend the fixtures electrical cord a bit and loop the cord ...swag style over the hook which will be centred wherever you choose. Might also want to look at getting a bit larger ceiling light...and put a dimmer switch on it...and could lower it a bit. Other option might be one of those larger arc type floor lamps that can extend out from side wall over the area you want to light. Same again...get a 3 way light that allows you to adjust light level. Realize you just moved in and it's likely all still early work in stages..but might suggest a large fun painting or some sort of artwork on the open wall behind sectional...to help balance the room ...give more visual interest and otherwise draw the eye from offset coffee table yada yada. Love the rug and furniture you selected and I think w/ just a bit of tweaking and living in the space for awhile...above ideas can work so both you and yer husband are happy. PS. I had a similar large coffee table balancing dilemma...and here are a couple pics of our place that i think helped to balance things out. Also couple pics of the arc floor lamp idea. Last lamp pic is from a Canadian stored called Structube. Good luck:)...See MoreBethany_Z5
