Exterior color - urgent advice required!
Comments (13)Thanks so much for your comments. We have an interior designer working with us. She has suggested colors with a fair amount of black in them, that have a rather muddy, dead look about them that does not really appeal to us, and we think might not work well with our garden. Didn't want to risk offending her by getting another color person in, but it's probably not a bad idea! No photo as yet. May be able to take some today. We obviously use different terms here - what is a 'siding'? 'Bagged' brick is brick that the bricklayer has gone over with a soft render-like substance which is applied before painting. You are left with a subtle outline of the bricks - much softer than a rendered finish, but more blended looking than just painted bricks. Hope that makes sense!...See Morebacksplash ---- urgent; need advice
Comments (5)Iris, the pics are hard to get details from being far away and dark. You haven't supplied a pic of countertops too. This is important as the tiles have to match the counter as well as complement the fireplace, cabinet color, and of course the tones of your floor. I'd like to help you out here, so do post good pics of each element separately. This will help you get the input you want from the houzz community OK.

Comments (28)Jen, great job! I know this post is a few months old, but I had to say nice work! The room looks much more polished and functional with the long vanity and counter covering your washer. Is it a washer/dryer combo? I think it looks great as a combo bath and laundry...and sensible for washing towels, etc. If it is a combo, you could always use the dryer feature to warm up a towel or two while bathing/showering. Or even your pjs or robe, on a cool night :) I value "inside laundry" and would do most anything to have it in the house, not on the porch, in the garage, in a shared apartment laundry room. Inside my house or condo, for my family's use only...if at all possible :)...See MoreUrgent advice please. Wall texture spray vs smooth?
Comments (17)Wow, the responses are all across the board! I live in a very ordinary looking/ old neighborhood of very expensive homes, thanks to Bay Area madness. Most of the homes on my street were built in the 60's and are minimally remodeled or original condition, just like our fixer upper was before demo. Since this remodel has financially tapped us already, we compromised and decided to do something some of you will disapprove of: Smooth/"old world" texture on the main level (open floor plan) and stairway. Then the lightest spray on texture possible upstairs where the bedrooms are. PLUS, we need to move in ASAP and leaving the upstairs according to plan will prevent a 1 week additional delay. My thought: Visitors will rarely go upstairs but when they do, I doubt they will really notice the difference. Before this was brought to my attention, I had not even given more than 10 seconds of thought about wall textures, but since my eyes are opened.... this was our decision after our 24 hour decision dilemma. Thank you Houzzers!...See MoreDavidR
