Well I have had an estimate on a few things in my bathroom, I am going to purchase the flooring tile, haven't decided what type but I do know I want shinny white in color and when my Son comes to visit in a few weeks he said he would do the job or my SIL would I am sure. The rest I will live with since it's not all that bad and, prices are off the charts.:eek: for me anyway.

Home and Garden is my favorite TV channel. I will watch all of you as well and get even more ideas that I can't afford. LOL
I love that bed look too! So earthy and soft.

Would love to see pics of your new floor when you get it. That's so nice that someone in the family can do it for you. Isn't it ridiculous how expensive it is to even do the smallest thing in your house??? Just crazy.

Hey I think that faucet is a Waterstone! I love the fixtures on the walls too. I would love them even more if they were in brass or copper!

We finally got some of those LED candles. Neat, but the light isn't that bright and kinda too orangey. But I think we will keep them. Safer than real candles and since most of our stuff is wood....

Love those light fixtures. I wish the other human in the house was more adventurous when it comes to light. Most standard light fixtures are so ugly and it hard to find anything that looks right in a colonial style house, so why not go bold? We installed a few can lights, but they radiate so much heat. Definitely not an option for the kitchen, and I really don't want 20 of them in the ceiling. The big rectangle fluorescent needs to go someday. Blah!

Kristin, I replaced the bulbs in all my can lights with LEDs and they are so much cooler and cleaner, dimmable, and last like 22 years. On sale at Costco

Thank you Sandy, I will try those. Are your can lights the ones where the bulb is visible or do they have a 'shade'? I'm wondering if I would like the shaded ones better for diffusing light.

Lol, I just bought some more LED candles today for outdoors :). These aren't made of wax like my indoor ones, but of plastic...I hope they look okay when they arrive, they had good reviews.

Those light fixtures would look SO COOL w/ your faucet!!!!

Is anyone else obsessed right now w/ black-paned windows, black interior trim, black interior doors? Bc I am. I painted our garage door all black and put "No. 8648" on it in white, I just love it! I wish I had the energy to paint all our interior doors black, I think it'd be so sharp/fun.

Black window, love. | Living Spaces | Pinterest
Love this. | Living Spaces | Pinterest
Yup, I'll take one of these please. | Living Spaces | Pinterest
Those black doors - LOVETH! | Living Spaces | Pinterest

I love the black trim windows. The mansion in the TV show Revenge has them and it is beautiful.

For a colonial house and some Spanish styles, I love when everything is white except the stained wood doors.

capt_noonie 06-01-2014 11:01 AM
I really like the black interior doors. We want to paint ours but don't know what color. They are just white now. I think it's look great with the door trim and base boards left white. Downstairs we are going to paint the walls a metallic copper. I said to do the walls first then decide what to paint the doors.

Ann, do you have a pic of your garage door? I'm having a hard time picturing it, but sounds cool. We'd never be able to do something like that. We have HOA here LOL.

Eek! I hate those! Those are both in MIL and my dad's place. The worst is when you see a dead bug up there.

Oh so that's the difference. I was wondering. Make sense now. I saw some at Ross yesterday and was wondering what the heck was the difference. DUH!

I have to exchange one box of the candles. One didn't turn on, one didn't turn off, one didn't go to the timer mode, and the last one the batteries would keep popping out. :rolleyes:

My bulbs are visible and I think they were on sale for around $8 ea and my kitchen alone has 9 with even more in great room, dining etc. With all those bulbs, the new LEDs use 85% less electricity, are cool, dimmable; love them.

But yesterday at Costco I saw the new LEDs with the shade and trim on sale for $12, and I def like those better, so brought one home to try. Unfortunately if the 36 bulbs I already bought last 22 years like they said, I can't justify changing them out again just yet.

22 years, that is wonderful!

I will have to try one with the shade before I buy for all of our canister lights. If I like the LEDs, then I will put the can lights in our kitchen to get rid of the fluorescent rectangle.

Priscilla, I have to clean bugs out of that ugly light constantly.

MauiGirl 06-01-2014 11:52 AM
Metallic copper walls sound so cool. I did a whole wall of blingy metallic copper infused glass tiles in my shower & bathroom and love it.

I saw on HGTV a short entry wall done in metallic purple, very expensive paint that looked like metal. I kind of want to do that in a dark purple on the exterior of my front door, which has a large oval etched glass center.

Just need to be brave :D I do love lots of bling and color here.

MauiGirl 06-01-2014 04:09 PM
capt_noonie you got me thinking about metallic copper all day. Hmmm maybe that is what I'll do on the exterior of the front door. I want it to be "different" like red-door different, but copper might be better than dark purple. (Both colors are used inside the house.)

I get to do some kinda crazy colorful stuff over here in the land where colorful aloha shirts and dresses are the norm, haha.

I'm attaching it here. Now that I re-read, I wonder if it sounded like I painted my main/big garage door black, but I just meant my little interior-garage door, not the big car-size door. I know it's just a little door, lol, but every time I pull into the garage it just makes me happy :D to see it, rather than just the plain dirty-white door that was there prior.

capt_noonie 06-02-2014 11:18 PM
Yes I totally thought it was the big door for the car! So this is the door from the garage to the inside of the house?

Yup, exactly. Just the door that leads from the garage to the laundry room / mud room area.

How about chalkboard black, then you can leave msgs on the doors, lol! Sorry, brainfart...Lol. My kitchen is black with oak cabinets and parquay floor tile. Black and white speckled countertops Black appliances, except for the new SS fridge as black is now a special order. Who can wait a week for a fridge while your food rots? Thinking about painting it black. Black enameled chipped badly sink, 9 inches deep great for doggy baths and hiding dirty dishes, lol.

I totally *love* the color of chalkboard black, even if you don't use it as a chalkboard...just love the feel/look of it. The inside of our garage access door where it connects to our laundry room is painted w/ chalkboard paint. Some people paint their fridge doors in chalkboard paint and it looks really cool. What about that for your fridge? Although you may regret painting stainless steel later...

I haven't been on much lately been outside enjoying the weather :)....Since some of you are talking about black I thought I would post a pic of my stove. It's interesting ;)

Attachment 399365

It has it's quirks but I love the uniqueness of it so I put up with it.

Oh my gosh - too FUN! Is it vintage/antique or a repro?

Hi Ann, It's just an old stove that was in a church kitchen. They were replacing theirs with a new one so this is their old one. It was an old weathered grey color and it looked very bad. Everyone thought I was nuts because I had a nice new stove in my kitchen and I wanted to get rid of it for this. I didn't care, I took out a new stove with no regrets.

kjc 06-04-2014 10:49 AM
OMG! Where do you live??? I'm moving in! Lol!

I'm toying with the idea of getting a real antique wood cook stove... I love how they look...

lol.....My original plan was to buy two identical stoves and push them together so I would have two ovens and eight burners. But I saw an ad in the paper for this and I went to look at it, now I have this. I just liked the uniqueness of it.

The griddle on top is sooo heavy, it's cast iron and probably weighs 60 lbs. It makes great stuff like pancakes, bacon, burgers, chicken breasts hash brown etc. etc.

I've been thinking about a bit of black board paint in my work room. I didn't want to do a whole wall, so maybe I might to a framed blackboard and hang it as a picture.

I love it! Reminds me of the La Cornue stoves. I saw this at Pacific Sales totally marked down. But this was before we were even looking at houses, and MIL's house stove is electric and this was gas. Too bad, bc now our house is gas and I wish we had this!!!

:mad:

Love that apothecary cabinet you have in the back too! :love: your kitchen!
