If not Schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon wallpaper, then what?
Comments (25)I also love elitis paper and Fromenthall too. What you can do, is to find a local artist that paints murals. For a small price, they can give you a mock up , with the paper used as the example. They can take the parts of the pattern you like and either make this larger as a large pattern or take parts of the pattern and place the pattern in locations on the walls around the powder room, so that you have what you love with the pattern but the cost is reasonable. They can also use background paint and paint for the mural that can be washed, if needed. I have done this for a mural for a showhouse. If you look at the bathroom for the 2008 showhouse, you will see a mural. We used a Schmaker paper that was very expensive for the idea, but created our own look, making templetes for each wall with a pattern on butter paper. This was painted in oil paint on an eggshell latex wall, which was made the wall easy to clean and stain proof....See MoreOpinions of LVT in a home? Click vs glue?

Comments (20)If you haven't already, I would suggest you seeing your floor plan in 3 Dimension. It will certainly give you a more real world expectation of the finished product. In creating my own floor plans, I have resolved many things before construction ever happened. With all the floor planning software on the market today, it shouldn't be a problem. A couple of my personal observations of your plans are: Master Bedroom - seems a little small, especially compared to the bath. Master Bath - It might be better to see the lovely vanities rather than the toilet and closet from the entrance. Moving them would provide privacy to the toilet area, and possibly making the wing wall unnecessary. Added benefit the entrance door wouldn't be banging into your nice vanity cabinets. Bedroom #2, Closet - It looks like the bedroom door will have to be closed first before you could open the closet door. I can see that this would be a nuisance for an adult, but even worse for a child's room. Upstairs Bathrooms - Same door situation for both upstairs bathrooms that doors will meet back to back. Laundry Room - would it make sense to have a door to the outside here rather than a window. It might be a nice short cut to the bathroom when outside. You could then even use this room as a mud room or to at least wash your hands. This room limits a technician doing repair work on your washer and dryer. If you have a front loader with pedestal and he pulls it out how does he get around it to work on it? If he cannot do the repairs in this space, where will he have to move it to? You certainly do not want him dragging it through your house to repair or when you need a new unit. I know this because I have a laundry room in the center of my house with no access to the outside. It is impossible to work in. Not to mention that the technician scratched up the appliances because there was no space. Mechanics Room - Is the doorway into this room wide enough for any equipment that could be needed to move into and out of it in the future? I would also want to see a floor plan on how the equipment will fit into this room and to make sure it too can be worked on in the future. Suezbell, although staircases like the one you posted are compact and pretty, they are not always functional. Sometimes people have family members of all ages and I cannot even imagine how some elderly folks could get up/down those stairs comfortably and safely. Rob_2610 As you view each room on your floor plan, visualize how you will function in it. That will help you find problem areas while they are easy to correct....See MoreOpinions on what color to paint our home
Comments (8)You said all opinions :-) I think your house looks just fine the exact way it is. The gray with green undertones probably shows well when the sun hits it. Some grays can actually look pink - not good. As for your ironwork - I would keep it because it gives your home a contemporary look and looks good with the stone work. If you go with a white painted wood, the surrounding landscape/trees will cause black, sooty mold to collect on it and it will become high maintenance. It will also chance the ambiance of the house to a more cottage-y look....See MoreNathan Mellor
