Help 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 with my kitchen Please.. - Calling all professional's
Comments (10)Hi All, Thank you so much for all your feedback. It’s greatly appreciated. Smartin1 – Thanks for your comment, I guess using the same kitchen for so many years a person don’t see potential anymore. rgkDESIGNS, Inc – I'm definitely getting rid of the orange wall, never been my style and will be removing the tiles as they are also outdated. Circle Goods Reclaimed – Thanks for your comment, I'm going to restore my kitchen (blue) door back to the original state which will be mahogany. Bubblyjock – Thanks for your advice – My stove-top in the island I never use, since it’s been cracked so I've been thinking of removing it with a new counter top. Joannpb – Ok, where do I start? All my ovens are working. The stove-top in the island still works but it has a crack so I don’t use it and I would like to get rid of it once I replace my counter tops. The black electricity oven I really just use to bake :^). But the free-standing white oven is gas and I use this every day. I would of like to move it but it’s not that easy as the gas pipe goes through that wall to the outside where the gas bottle is. The “skinny little object at the end of the room” is indeed my refrigerator.I really looks skinny in the photo but it’s not that skinny. The appliance next to the sink “grey” is my washing machine and next to that is my dishwasher. Unfortunately, I cannot move my washing machine as it right next to the water supply but I can maybe move my dishwasher beneath the counter on the left side of the sink. So anyway, I still feel like I'm in stage one. I still don’t know what colour scheme’s I should use. If I do indeed do the half white/brown brick wash, what colour should I make the cupboards or the counter tops? I would like all the counter tops, breakfast top and island the same, will that look funny? How will all the colours work with my face brick open walls/island or even my dark tile floor or dark wooden panes? You see, I’m a total mess and can’t make out head or tale what I want to do.

Comments (4)Having helped raise funds and design a playground space years ago as a PTA member, my first words of advice are for you to research what is required and restricted by law in your area for materials for playground spaces. We were amazed at the things we could not put back into our aging play spaces once they were removed. The increased costs of required materials and the use of licensed professionals to protect the school from future law suits over mishaps in the area really increased the price tag. We had a nice space when completed, but it took three years of fundraising and a year of construction to get it done. It was worthwhile to have the children submit their ideas as well and we used many of them from different age groups in separate spaces allowing us to phase in the construction as parts were funded in full....See More*Urgent* Bedroom - Dark or Natural Hickory Wood? Please help choose!
Comments (7)I'm a fan of natural hickory...but with 2 floors filled with 'gray' tile, the darker hickory is the more unifying floor. It is true that you are allowed to have different coloured floors for each "level" in the home, but there is something to be said for maintaining the theme. You have chosen a very COLD colour for most of your home. Adding in a very warm, vibrant, very active floor for the top level is going to be very odd. As much as I love the natural hickory (if you read my posts, I almost always vote for "natural" wood tones), I have to say this is a very awkward combination. The unity that you seek will be found with the stained hickory. It will be modern. It will offer warmth (there are some hints of warm tones in the darker floor) but not to the extent that the natural will offer. You are welcome to work with the natural hickory so long as you cannot see the hickory from BELOW (if your stairs are in such a configuration that you cannot see the hickory from the lower levels). It would also be better if you cannot see the gray from ABOVE either (the two colours have a HORRIBLE clash of tones...so you want to minimize the visual impact of seeing the two floors at the same time)....See MoreBethany_Z5
