Home Sweet Home Thread - Share Stuff About All Things Home Related 4 Attachment(s) Got a home project you want to share? Want to share something home-related you're lusting over? Found a cool design / home website or blog? Found something that is Pin-Worthy? Want advice about something home related? Have a collection/obsession you curate that you'd like to share? We need a thread about home-related topics, don't we??? I feel like we do bc a few of us have been sharing home related topics on other threads. So, I thought it'd be fun to share whatever as it pertains to your home or home shopping or home projects or design etcetera. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll start by sharing a couple home things I'm lusting over. HOW darling is this "Ring for Champagne" sign?? I love it / lust it. Also, I've been lusting over this table lamp, but it's way too much money....but it'd be so kewl in the perfect spot. Also have been obsessing over Sputnik-type-style hanging light fixtures....which is weird bc my home doesn't even have a Mid-Century style, but I can't help it! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1505620..._home_active_2 ARTERIORS Home Beige Jana Adjustable Table Lamp | Wayfair. ARTERIORS Home Zanadoo 12 Light Large Chandelier | Wayfair Ikea version of cheap Sputnik light :D. I could totally modify this sucker to look cooler: IKEA PS MASKROS Pendant lamp - IKEA |
2 Attachment(s) Loving those light fixtures and the champagne button. I'm dreaming big right now. Would love to tear out our '80s kitchen and do something like this on a much smaller scale (Ann, check out the stools in the second photo): Attachment 398929 Attachment 398930 |

And yup, you know me well - I LOVE that industrial stool!!! I don't think I ever updated my stool thread, but I ended up getting neither of those, and got these instead, on sale (!): Twist Swivel Stool | World Market |
Love the stools you chose!! We don't have many shopping choices in our immediate area, but we do have World Market. Love that place. |
Great idea for a new thread and I'm All In :D:D:D I love home projects and am ready for a new kitchen myself. I just haven't found the right cabinets. I'm so afraid of making a mistake, I want something I will love for another 20 years or more since it is so expensive. In the last 3 years I've done major upgrades like beautiful teak wood floors upstairs and all travertine-look porcelain tile downstairs, new master bathroom that I adore, mahogany doors some new windows lots of paint inside and out. But I still have to complete the guest bathroom, and replace my now 20 year old kitchen. Can't wait to get rid of whitewashed cabinets and have something like soft toned cherry or teak, with lots of big lower drawers instead of doors w/pullouts, and granite counters instead of tile, all new appliances too. I just have to be brave and be ready to have the entire kitchen ripped out for a month or two. Argg, the thought of the mess and having contractors here (while living here with 3 pups) always slows me down. |

Would love to see piccies of what you've already completed if ya ever feel like it! So did you get tired of having a white kitchen? I always contemplate going white, but would be nervous to make a big change if I ever wanted to redo our kitchen. I *love* seeing other people's white kitchens though! Our kitchen is only about 9 yrs old and has sort of cherry colored cupboards, stainless steel, and black granite w/ striations/veins. |

The biggest change I look forward to is having upper cabinets go all the way to the ceiling to have more storage and not have the shelf above that is hard to clean. I love different dishes and glass ware, have way too many sets, but love switching around so need more storage. My kitchen is open to the "great room", where I have eggplant dark purple leather furniture cause I do love color. Matter of fact there is purple in almost every room in my house, and some rooms are moving more into various chases of turquoise, my other favorite. Love home projects, and spend much time daily thinking about it all. Spring is always a fun season to start things for a refreshing renewal. |

Teak and travertine-look floors *sigh* sounds goooorgeous! I worry too about making really big decisions like kitchen cabinets. Thinking that the white kitchens that I love may only look good in photos, and might not be as appealing to me in person. The only thing I know for sure is that I am tired of oak. Ann, I love the house in the blog you linked. Very eclectic. |

Her house is so cool - very LA. She is more mid-century modern style in general, but branches out a bit too. She also has a cottage in Michigan that she remodeled and it's also SO cool, just gorgeous! The kitchen is super small there, but done so well (white, of course, lol). |
I just love the look of a white kitchen! It looks so clean and classic. I must have about 500 pictures of white kitchen pictures on my Pinterest boards so I can dream about them! :) Maybe one day...... As for blogs, I just love Maria's! I have learned sooo much from her about paint and the undertones all paint has. Maria has many articles explaining the impact it will have in your decor decisions and if you mix the wrong undertones you probably won't like the outcome in your design decisions. Her e-book was so helpful for me in understanding this concept. I now look at paint and home furnishings in a completely different way. She has some articles on the subject of white kitchens.... white kitchens | Maria Killam |

I'm reading Maria's white kitchen posts right now, fun stuff. Love a white kitchen w/ a black counter top, which is shown in a post about granite. So classic. Is your kitchen white? I also lovvvvvvvvvve subway tile in white kitchen. I know subway tile has been "in vogue" for a long time now, but I'm still loving it and find it timeless and so attractive. I've had thoughts about subway-tiling my kitchen island, as I saw on this pin, kinda fun, but don't know if I'd ever do it: subway tile island | Living Spaces | Pinterest Anyone else obsessed w/ subway tile? |
I have a white kitchen, I love the look but I am not sure so thrilled with the idea of keeping it clean. |

Maria does have a bias towards white kitchens and subway tiles. She says subway tiles for the kitchen and bathroom have been around since the 50's and are still popular today, they are timeless and classic. Some people might find them boring but I love them! There is a trend right now to eliminate the upper cabinets. I like the look but i wonder how they compensate for the loss of storage. Like this kitchen...... Attachment 398954 |

1 Attachment(s) Here is a lovely white kitchen for you with interesting bar stools. What do you all think about wood floors in kitchen? I have always had tile, but I kind of like the softer look especially with the light kitchens. It would probably be too dark or woody for me though with woodgrain cabinets. |

1 Attachment(s) I am itching to pull up all our carpet and do hardwood. I like to do things myself, so right now, time (and $) are keeping me from doing it. I also want to take our existing deck out and replace it with a newer, nicer, bigger one. I love being outdoors, and want an oasis, but right now it's not very oasis-y. My son and I are redoing the walls in the living room to look like a log cabin. It's a slow process, but when it's all done, it will be worth it. (I love my power tools!!). My interior is very rustic/lodge like, and this is what we're doing to the walls. Before, they were just white Sheetrock. This is my entry, where you first come in my front door: |
All things Mother of Pearl!!!! Obsesssssed. Backsplashes, fireplaces, shower tile, tabletops...ah, how I wish we weren't renting. I do have a pinterest board devoted to all temporary renter's renovations. I need to find some mother of pearl contact paper/snap on tiles. Brw love this thread. Thanks Ann, and I will be permanently subscribed to this now haha |
We have a white quartz countertop, back splash is subway tile white with gray grout. The only color in my kitchen is my blue Kitchen Aid mixer. We are planning to sell next year and I wanted to enjoy my kitchen before we move, next time I will go with a French vanilla white and and rubbed oil bronze fixtures, I wanted that this time but could not get my head wrapped around what color appliances I should get. We did go with the double door refrigerator with a drawer freezer, love it. Also we brought our hardwood into the kitchen. It's working well, I wanted all the same flooring on first floor. |
My obsession is going to new subdivisions and touring the model homes (odd obsession I know). My newest must haves in the next house are: 1. Second floor laundry 2. Mud room with a built in dog crate (they are doing this all over in my area) I have found that my style is very clean lines, few walls and no fuss. |

I know what you mean about liking one element, i.e. rubbed oil bronze fixtures, but not knowing what to do with the appliances. I would like to have matching cabinet fronts for the refrigerator and dishwasher, but what to do with the stove? Quote:

Does anyone watch "Revenge"? I basically want everything in the Grayson Mannor house. Love all the wainscoting, which is way beyond my skill level. Would definitely need a pro. |
