Living Room & Dining Room – Knotty Pine?

Fire Places — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:04:43 +0000

My living room is about 22 x 16 and 3 of the 4 walls have knotty pine. Long wall with front door and large picture window and two small walls. One wall also has brick fireplace (no mantel). The shelf at the fire place is stone or slate? It makes my living room so dark and old looking. I dont want to paint it but to remove all that will take a lot. The stain is rather dark and all walls wood is in good shape except the small wall has knicks in it from a rocker or something.

My one wall in the dining room also has this… None of it goes with what theme or style I would like to have… Dining room is currently baskets and americana colors. the only thing I can see that works with that is the lines in a basket. Living room, I like the Victorian look, antique, whites, washed colors.

What is the best way to brighten it up?

I have a hugh red brick fireplace that’s 23 years old and want to update it by painting it a lighter color to make it appear more modern. I don’t want to ruin it by doing it wrong. Any advise would be appreciated.

Paint colors for a very large family room?

Fire Places — Sun, 30 May 2010 15:33:34 +0000

I’d like some ideas for my family room. It is a very large and wide room with a brick fireplace hearth at one end. I just recently faux painted all of the brick on the fireplace with wines, reds and browns and then lightly sponged a light beige over the brick for a antique look. The walls are currently a creamy light tan but the rooms needs some color. I’m scared to paint something bright or bold. We have a medium brown ultra suede couch and love seat and our furniture is medium oak. Thanks for any ideas.

What color should I paint my living room?

I have a white brick fireplace, beige furniture, and unfinished wood furniture(which I am contemplating staining dark). I have a modern/contemporary style and the room has plenty of light. I hate the colors green, red, orange, yellow, and purple on walls. So it’s really a matter of blue or gray and dark or light shade of either of those. I like high contrast but am unsure what will match my furniture better if I leave the furniture unfinished and if I decide to stain it dark.
absolutely non-negotiable on the colors I listed as hating because it is not just me, my fiance also hates those as well.

My bestfriend just bought a house in North Carolina. She has a brick fireplace that is slightly lifted off the ground. She’s not sure if she should paint the bricks white, get rid of them, or what… just looking for the best, most creative ideas to pass along to her.

If you have pictures of what to do or that you’ve done that would help as well!

What colors go well with Antique White walls?

Fire Places — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:55:55 +0000

The previous owner of my home painted the entire interior an Antique White (satin, except the kitchen and bathroom which are semi-gloss) including all of the walls, front, rear and side doors, floor trim, door trim, closet trim, etc which makes it all look a bit boring. I had considered painting the trim along the floors/doors/closets white (semi-gloss?) to add some much needed contrast but I have heard that may cause the antique white on the walls to look "dingy" Other features of note in the home are a large red brick fireplace with black cast iron wood stove in the living room, the carpet is kind of a steel grey berber throughout, the kitchen and bathroom both have a wood grain vinyl flooring, and all of the interior doors (bedrooms, closets) are wood also. It’s all a bit overwhelming (in the dull sense) with too much of the antique white on the one hand and wood on the other! I need help! Any suggestions for guy with no color sense? (yes maybe thats a bit redundant!)
In the living room the primary piece of furniture is a blue sectional.

As far as the other rooms go there isn’t much in the way of furniture as I just moved in so I can get things to match later after painting.

The wood interior doors are somewhat dark, I don’t know what kind though.

Storage Help?

HELP!! I have too much stuff and no where to put it, so it ends up spreading out all over my house. I don’t have any shelves yet. I live far away from any furniture store, so I would have to order storage items. (shipping large items would be EXPENSIVE!) I like contemporary style. I have a huge brick fireplace, the walls are brown, the couch is red, the carpet is brown… if that helps with anything.

Do you have any storage solutions for me?
