We painted our kitchen green. Now what?

8 years ago

After many trips to the paint store and many pints of paint, we decided on Hirshfields Rediscover 0408. We like the color but its a big change from our red walls! Now I need help with ideas for what to put on the wall and counters. Curtains? White chairs or stained chairs? I still like my light fixture because it still seems to go with our cottage/garden feel in the house. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for taking the time .

    I love the sconces... I think the crystals will be beautiful.

    Yep! Another thing off the to-do list. It was simple and makes a big difference!


    What kind of knobs were you thinking for entry closet?

    Mary- is it easy to post your bed again please? I want to see it folded down. Isn't it bulky?

    Thanks!

    Thanks P. I wear a mask and gloves everyday I go out and have for over three weeks now. Ellen is okay. We meet with oncology on Monday to hear final analysis of how chemo went over the past 3.5 months. Pins and needles.

    I LOVE the sconces as well and really the pillows will look fine however you and the J-bird finally decide. I just thought of calling her J-bird when y’all called her J. I think it’s cute … just like her. 😉. Hope she’s not offended.

    Everyone needs to wear a mask since there are so many unknowns out there. And so many people are asymptomatic and we can’t know who they are. Better safe than sorry.

  • 6 years ago

    I can imagine you are on pins and needles. Is the majority of people wearing them?Where do you live again? South Carolina? I haven’t seen anyone wearing a mask here but then again I haven’t been out except to the dog park.

    Will be praying for positive results to on Monday. Keep us posted.

    We only go out to get meds from Drive-Thru we order needed groceries and have them delivered...such a pain having to wipe everything off before it comes in the house! my husband and I both wear masks and gloves when we step outside! He has asthma and I have a blood disorder..so not taking any chances...😷

    Glad you are staying safe! Do you wear them when going out for walk julie?

    Only if I go out during the day when neighbors are out...but I like to wait until around 9:00 to walk the dog.....nobody is out so I don’t wear them...

    I have just the duvet folded down. My sheets and blanket are just done normal. I don’t find it bulky ...gives it more of an updated look In my opinion.

    It looks so nice Mary. Your room looks beautiful! I am a bit partial. Its fun to see the three different looks. Yours, mine,and Julies. Are those your pillows that you sleep on at night in the back?

    I will give it a try - it does look nice folded down. I have never had a duvet before so not used to the little details.

  • 6 years ago

    It is fun to see 3 totally different looks with the same bedding. Julie definitely has a talent 😊.The pillows we sleep on are behind the large tan euro pillows. This is my first duvet as well and it is pretty folded down so you can see the buttons too.

    How is everyone spending their Sunday? I’m planning on baking banana bread during the week. I read that it‘s a popular thing to do right now. Waiting for flour to arrive tomorrow .....😷

    Parker Murphy thanked Amanda Smith
  • 6 years ago

    Good Morning Amanda! I don't bake at all but would love to! I have no willpower and would eat it all. Any sweets we have in the house( we have none right now!) he locks up in a cupboard in his workroom from me. :)

    We went for a great walk in the woods this morning down to a lake. It was crisp out 38 degrees but sunny. Later today we are going to dog park! So many happy dogs there.

    I am binging on "Bull" right now. I am into the third season. I am enjoying it. As I watch it , I shop on-line. :)

    Thanks Seajay. I am trying!

  • 6 years ago

    SEAJAY, I have not done much on Houzz the past few weeks, other than reading and following along . I enjoyed the prayer you passed along on DD’s thread today - reflections that put much in real perspective ! Just want you to know that you and Ellen continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and that I am anxious to hear about your visit to the doctor tomorrow . Thanks, too, for the Johns Hopkins info. I shared that with many. Stay well , sweet Sparkles - as well as all checking in here. —- PARKER, your night table lamps and mirrors , and your hall sconces, look really nice . It was good to hear you stopped going out to shop. I was getting worried about you 😬.

    Thanks Nicci. It’s always wonderful to hear from you. I hope you and yours are all well and staying positive and safe. My nagging finally got to Parker and she’s behaving. She can be a little devil when she wants to. 😘

    I heard that!

    I have been reduced to ordering my Easter candy on line, Its not the same. I love going down the candy aisle and looking at all those fun jellybeans and chocolate eggs. Not this year!

  • 6 years ago

    I went to Pet store for pick up nail cutters. And drop off stuff for my daughter w/o going in. A wave to her & kids. A drive up to pick up chicken dinner.

    Go down the candy isle at the supermarket just wear a mask and have hand sanitizer in your purse or car and wash your hands when you’re back in your car. Be vigilant and you’ll be fine.

    I pass this info on for any creative types that need a mask.


    My husband said his office is running low on masks (he is a physician) so I started researching what I could make for him. I am using the pattern put out by a hospital in my state which has a pocket for a filter:

    https://www.unitypoint.org/cedarrapids/sewing-surgical-masks.aspx


    For the filter I am using two layers of blue shop towel as per this article:

    https://www.businessinsider.com/homemade-mask-using-hydro-knit-shop-towel-filters-better-2020-4


    I put a casing across the top and inserted some picture hanging wire to shape the mask around the nose. Tight fit is super important. If your glasses are steaming up, your mask is not tight enough. I've had to switch from elastic to ties because elastic is gone from my area.

    Thank you jhmarie. We got a phone call last night that a family friend passed away yesterday from Coronavirus (Long Island, NY area). We are very shaken. Be very careful out there. Stay home!

    Good Afternoon! I am late getting on Houzz today. I was on hold with Pier One for over 3 hours again. I got nowhere. They did offer to lower shipping to a $100 but it would be free if i just wait it out and pick up in store. Who knows if the chair will be the right color so hate to pay $100- and it will come some day. Just don't know when. Patience is a virtue they say!


    Looking for a lamp for the kids play room. I am terrible at lamps! I just want an inexpensive one and white. This one is 26 1/2 inches. Would this work? 14 inch shade.


  • 6 years ago

    Here is the chest. Picture not up yet. The game cabinet is 39w by 31 h

  • 6 years ago

    I got one lamp today. I don’t think I really like it.
    It’s too clear. The one I thought would be best- the Granada- doesn’t come til Wednesday.heres hoping that works.

    I would look for something a little less adult..a bit more fun...

    all white the size is good when looking for another option.

    Lamps are hard....don’t take the wrapping off until you’re sure. That one seems too modern?

    No it just doesn’t work I don’t like the drum shade on your dresser..I can’t wait to see the Granada...the shape I think will work best with your dresser...

    have to say it is beautiful the base is so pretty.

  • 6 years ago

    I know not to take off wrapping :) Can you return yours?

  • 6 years ago

    It IS a pretty lamp- I agree. Not terrible but I agree the Granada will be better!

    I saved the wrapping but I’m not leaving the house to do a return...
