I think that will be okay. I tested paint colors on the East side of my garage and my house faces South.

I know too well the shock of mint green. My next-door neighbor in WDM made that choice shortly before I sold my home. The trim was the color of your shed. Do you think he had a color consultant?

Hi Kjoy. Have you painted any samples yet? Is the painter able to get to you anytime soon?

I replaced curtains in our bedroom a few months ago. I wrestled with the span, center support, etc. Ended up using a track on wall-mount brackets. Spent a little extra on roller carriers. The curtains practically open/close by themselves.

Im in search of partial shade lovers too. Thinking about these.

Regardless of color you have to have a tile installer worth their weight in gold when using this tile. Because of its wavy nature any lipping is exacerbated ten fold if not properly installed. Color has little to do with poor tile installation.
We are using this tile in two projects currently and you have to have an experiences and skilled tiler. There is no compromise with that.
The aloe is a beautiful color. Here it is in a current project. It is not as light and washed out once installed.

here it is in Misty Blue in project we are working on


I do plan to paint the riser under the wine fridge the same Hale Navy as the vent cover and island. The granite is well supported by a wood extension under it. The table will be centered under the light. It is in its current position so we could get the light hung. In the past three months I have cleaned out a 3400 square foot house we lived in for 24 years, packed up what was left 16000 pounds and unpacked into a 2400 square foot house three states away. I have been in my new house one month so there is still a lot to do. I am 82 and one of the movers told me I was the toughest old lady he ever met! Thanks to all for your advice and compliments.

I think that size, including frame, looks fine!

I’m thinking they would both be fine as the left side size. You are making them both the same, correct? And they don’t need a big frame 1/2 inch would be fine. There’s such interest in the art alone and you don’t wanna take away from that with the frames. Especially if you’re using two side-by-side in my opinion.

What Gls said 😆






Can the sofa face the fireplace with chairs on both sides? I think I'd like that better.
We did start with the sofa facing the fireplace but I sit on the couch all the time and I didn’t like looking at the blank wall and tv, now I get to see the view through the screen porch! Plus it feels more separate from the kitchen.
My husband will love the massive tv idea.
