Hello Marilyn. So does this mean that 1 person can ask 30 questions? :-)

Thanks for asking...
To clarify, I am answering 1 question per day for the 30 days of April via social media (Houzz, Instagram, and Facebook).

Question 1: What are a few decorating elements that make a room (regardless of its size) feel spacious?

Hi Marilyn,
Is it ok to have chrome fixtures in the bathroom with brushed nickel drawer pulls? Do they all have to match?

Day 2 Question: I am choosing a new exterior paint for my home. I want to stay in the neutral gray family. What do you recommend?

Day 3 Question: 2 post answer today

Here's my dilemma: my kitchen cabinets don't go to the ceiling. There's about 18 inches of space. What can I do with decor that is modern and fresh without looking like the 90's up there?

Day 4 Question: I have a design dilemma. My husband and I bought a new construction home. I prefer the natural color of the white oak floors just installed. My husband wanted the durability and long life that only a poly oil based finish affords; he refused a water-based finish. The oil-based made the floors orange. They are not only orange, they're bright orange! I hate the color because I know that it goes poorly with the (grayer) color scheme (intended). -Natalie

Interesting.

Ramona, can you email me pictures for your living room? I cannot pull the pictures off of Houzz to use for my own social media to answer. I will answer your question tomorrow by the end of the week, if I can get some pictures. You can email picture(s) to info@marilynkimberly.com

Sure, great!! You can see my ideabooks though? Right?

Ramona, yes, I can. I haven't yet received your images. Can you send to me? info@marilynkimberly.com

I just bought some navy blue and white ikat bedding to use in a bedroom that currently has white walls and pecan chest and armoire, no headboard. What color of wall and accent color(s) do I want. I haven't a clue. I have no clue on a headboard either, but I'm hoping for inspiration!

@judithahall Please email me some pictures of your bedding and space.

thank you very much Marilyn. Everyone agrees the table is the problem. sorry, I don't have an instagram account. I have looked and looked and agree that a darker table top is necessary. I was considering using RLauren metallic oyster for the china hutch with RLauren marquis grey on the back of the hutch. I agree the table is the problem no matter what I do with the chairs. The zebra chairs are not silver, just bleached and whitewashed. The silver below was the idea for the chairs. Anyway, I agree with your table analysis. Sorry also, that it took me so long to get here. I have many issues, always and trying for a refinance too right now.
