Your connecting spaces must be the same color. You could put an accent color on the fireplace wall, but both dining and living areas should be the same color.

Choose an accent color when you decide on the sofa color or accent fabric colors.

For instance:

Lean more toward a pink tone to compliment the brick…don’t go red.

Whoa, what happened to my comment? Weird..,

My comment didn’t post correctly. We are refinishing our floors. They actually don’t have a stain on them. It is just the clear coat that yellowed over time. I am going to repaint the yellow to match the living room. I can’t stand it.

what temperature are your bulbs? anything under 3500K will cast a yellow hue

the wall color in pic 2 looks very light compared to the yellow color in the next picture.

what color stain are you doing on the floors?

Our bulbs are definitely casting a yellow hue.

My link didn’t work. Gerr...

I am thinking provincial for the color of stain.

I had to load pictures one by one. (load one, hit submit,,,edit, load another one, submit,,,edit,,,,etc. )

I love the color of the colors in the last pic!

I really like the fireplaces.

I will definitely change the kitchen bulbs. The bulbs on the lights over the bar are the natural light and I like that so much better.

i love the herringbone w/the used brick. are you going all the way up w/the brick?

We are going to go all the way up. The picture of the brick doesn’t do it justice. The brick look bigger than they are. The brick on the bottom is the sample brick we were thinking about getting and the one on the top is the brick we cut. The sample brick is $9 a foot and the stuff we cut we bought for .75 a brick and we can cut 4 from one brick. Good deal huh?

Hi Melanie, I commented on someone else’s post you had commented on but I don’t know this app well enough to actually tag you, so in case you aren’t able to see my question for you I though posted on one of your brick posts might work instead

Are you able to tell me what was used and how you cut your brick? I’m doing a coffee nook with a brick back and in Canada it’s near impossible to find thin brick let alone affordable for a small space but I have boxes full of old bricks I took that were once surrounding the garden but cannot find a consistent answer in how to cut them thinner as your husband has. (I’m currently updating my fireplace as well and now I want to re do what I’ve done and make it brick.. thanks for that 😂)
