Loved the sleek accordian windows. Loved the clean look of the countertop and the seating arrangement looks pretty comfortable. Everybody is connected. The outside looking in and the inside looking out.

Sounds like a great place for the kids.................they may never leave home ;) You have the makings for a separate apartment rental which would be great for resale value in the future. Check into your local codes before you start any major work. There are things that experienced homeowners can tackle that, if done properly now, will pay off later (eletrical outlet GFI placements, smoke detectors etc). I would plan an L shaped kitchen w/ eating height island and utilize that exterior wall for my stove venting. Double check (match up your main level floor registers) that the main duct work line actually runs the ENTIRE length of that soffit. You should have a floor register on that exterior wall in the room above. If NOT then you can put the stove where the current refrigerator is & you only have approx 36" vent run in that soffit. I love the idea of a corner stove (drop-in electric) placement with direct outside vent & put the fridge on the other side of the sink or the window. You have a very long rectangle shaped room so make sure you add lots of soft corner items (round). That's why I like the corner stove, it softens the edges of the room. I personally would like open shelving under that soffit, putting short cabinets under it will only accent the short ceilings. Hopefully that red sink is in good shape b/c I love it. Would be nice to have your local autobody shop paint your refrigerator a similiar red. There are also do-it yourself spraycan options. You can add LED puck or strip lights (shallowest option on the market) on the bottom side of that soffit for extra lighting. Put tall cabinets on the window wall or no upper cabinets at all (love it & cost effective!!) For extra storage use that wall space for a wall hung potrack. Look at Ikea, they have nice CHEAP wall mount options to hold cutlery, knives, pots etc. I would REALLY like to see the tv above the fireplace so when you are hanging out in the kitchen you can still watch television. Love the cork floor idea. Look into elastomeric (flexible waterproof paint on membrane) paint if you need/want to waterproof, seal odors or warm that floor up before you put anything down. The area that scares me the most is the wallpaper ceiling. I have tackled this and have serious residual mental trauma :0. My neck was not the same for weeks and it took me weeks to get it done. They didn't use the "primer -sizer" so it was attached to the drywall & I gauged the hell out of the drywall which took me forever to repair. In the latest house I took off wallpaper that had been painted over about 8 times. That wasn't any more fun. I am praying for you!!!

Oh, I love you both! Thank you. Yes, it really is a lovely backyard! I agree fully with keeping it simple, but feel there needs to be something to both soften it up and provide a bit of privacy. The trim will be a white, still working on the walls... theres a stone fireplace I'm trying to coordinate with... ANY suggestions of color would also be truly appreciated!!

It looks like they were trying to update the house without the cost of structural support. I would close off the one of the smaller openings in the room to the left of the front door, then add roman columns to the support pillars. use the octagonal theme to make that a "fun" room to better direct the eye. The trouble is when you walk in there is no focal point. Your eye doesn't know what to do. If you put round columns on the "pillars", paint that rooms ceiling a light blue and put a garden like wall mural on the walls, you could turn it into a magical room, Keep it light and airy.

Pedestal Barstools - any advice here?
Q
Comments (24)
Love the new stools. Good choice. About the backsplash, I don't think painting it would be a good idea. It's not awful, but combined with busy wood, counters and tile flooring, it's just too much! To make it easier on the eyes, at least one pattern needs to go. Painting the cabinets is one option, but that seems wrong, given the nice wood. You could remove the backsplash yourself, the have an expert repair the wall and put in a new backsplash. Personally, the tile floor bothers me more than the backsplash. It has a grayish undertone that seems to clash with everything. It would be a big mess, and expensive, but I'd take out all the flooring and unify the spaces with either very light or very dark wood floors. Last, paint all the walls one off-white color that goes better with the goldish tones of the kitchen. Too many taupes going on!
