Help I need some ideas for my very small and ugly kitchen. I am on a t
Comments (27)Painting the cupboards white would make a dramatic difference in the kitchen. However, I notice a really lovely grey color in the flooring that might make another great color choice. Wish i knew how groveraxle painted your cupboards. It would be fun to give some other colors a try. Maybe a couple pretty blue hanging pendant lights for the table? Just a thought....See MoreHelp with an ugly rental kitchen...
Comments (10)I rather like your kitchen, and I think the light/dark mix could work beautifully. I like Karielen's idea of white for the counter stools. I would suggest you introduce a couple of colours into your white/beige palette, perhaps by way of throw pillows, vase, lamp. Against a monochrome light background you don't have to go overboard for the colours to register well. Then take one them and get kettle/toaster/storage jars in that colour to help link the two areas together. Coral would work well with the existing kitchen colours, as would dark red. But I agree with Brandi's point that having pictures of your furniture in situ would help a lot....See MoreCabinet kitchen hardware and kitchen decor/furniture help!
Comments (2)Hello there. I'd have something like this for handles. Remove the rugs. If you absolutely need to, keep one near the sink, in a solid neutral colour similar to that of the tiles. It shouldn't be a focal point. once you have a table (?), leave the plant on it as a centre piece. Leave nothing above the cabinets. What grout did you paint? Will you be eating here as well?...See MoreHelp with my kitchen (ugly cabinets in open concept house)
Comments (22)I'm sorry to say, but it sounded like your contractor didn't want to fix the issue under the beam. it looks odd because it's just floating in no mans land. If it will be awhile before you vault the ceiling, consider removing the beam and patching the part underneath. I'm sure you could match the ceiling texture w/some joint compound. it will look 10X better than that beam. You can find any other flush mount light to replace those boob lights. in fact, try lampsplusopenbox.com they have great deals, but limited stock. http://www.lampsplusopenbox.com/close+to+ceiling+lights-category/search.htm you can look for the pendants there too. they have two of these for 60 each. you could buy the third one on their reg site for full price if neededhttp://www.lampsplusopenbox.com/chandeliers-category/mini+pendant-type/search.htm or 3 of these for 71 each. Quoizel. good price....See MoreSue Ann Stevens
