Help updating old stone home
Comments (15)I really like those photos. Thank-you so much! I also like the idea of incorporating a strong, bold color with more elegant French elements. Since we are starting all over, we aren't transferring a lot of furniture. The furniture we have, we plan on using in the basement. We plan on using the upstairs as more of a sitting/reading room. The living room is the only room I don't really have any "inspiration" for. We both want a large table with a bench (like my grandmother had) in the dining room. You can't really see it from the photos but the dining room opens up to a lovely stone balcony - so it has a lot of wonderful natural light....See More9x14 bedroom in old stone farm house
Comments (2)You could also float the beds in the middle of the room. You should be able to place the full size bed with the foot facing the window, but set back at least 2 feet from the windows. You can place a screen at the back of the headboard. The baby crib can go behind the screen....See MoreNeed Help with old brick Staining/ Replace with Stone Veneer
Comments (6)One of my neighbours moved into a house that was only a couple years old and he hated the colour of the brick (it was a pinkish brown). He had the brick stained grey... which is the first time I have seen brick stained. The result is pretty amazing. The house looks like it was re-bricked with a completely new brick. Based on the results on his house, staining the brickwork can work very well if that is the option you choose....See MoreFlat stones don't drain, contractor wants to redo on top of old stones
Comments (6)I have your exact same pebble floor and the same thing happened. We even started with a very expensive Schluter drain pan that was pre-sloped. The corners are sloped correctly but it levels off before it gets to the drain. Since the contractor tried once to fix it and it barely improved, we have decided to just "swipe" the water once done. it's not a huge floor area (3x4) and any water that may get through the tile will just hit the waterproof membrane and to the Schluter drain weep holes. At least that is what the contractor tells us will happen. These pebble floors are very tricky to put in and maintain slope. They need much grout. I do wonder what would happen if the stones were ground down a bit. Could they be polished and look good again??...See Moresilverscreenstar
