Just an observation: What a difference the paint color on downspouts makes! I find them distracting on the first house.

Front doors on large, traditional brick homes














Some close-ups...











Working on...

1. Elegant front doors on traditional, brick homes
2. Offices with pink rugs
3. Foyers with storage

Oh hello. I like lighting. Shades of Light (lighting catalog based in Richmond) has a huge variety. You can sort by price, limit by finish, ets.

Lots of blogs have done flush mount round-ups, too. Just google "best flush mount" and hit the "images" option in google. Once you settle on a style, you can usually find something that works in the high, middle, and low price ranges. The "porthole" style flush mount might be a nice option...

I'm not sure I'll find that layout, but I'll look small, modern, and lots of white.













What's your style? Do you need flushmounts or something that comes down a bit?

You helped a lot with our inspiration in the other thread so here goes: looking for a diagonal galley kitchen that we’d like to keep white and minimalist modern (no shaker cabinets) I guess something that feels a bit tight or weirdly shaped but still feels modern. And it’s so funny we’re totally in the planning phase for this and are wondering what type of countertop or appliances.


Forgive me for being clueless...what is a diagonal galley? I googled and found diagonal islands in kitchens, but they weren't galley style.

I'm sure there will be a point when we can look at a kitchen with grey or light blue shaker shaker cabinets and know roughly when the install happened.

I feel like we see cycles where a style/color/trend emerges among professional designers, then gets picked up by design-savvy homeowners (like people here!), then moves into the blogger/influencer world, and lastly into the mass market. So while a lot of people in this forum probably stopping decorating with grey years ago, there are still people loving their grey kitchens (and the new construction builders are still installing them in tract homes). I don't think the Ryan Homes, KHov, or Pulte type builders are doing light blue yet, but perhaps that's next.

But, really, if someone loves light blue, I don't think they should feel any shame in using a color that makes them happy in their kitchen!

We are about to renovate a tiny beach cottage in New England. It has one large kitchen/living/dining room. My DH wants a mid-century modern look. We will have wood floors, but nothing else has been planned. So, modern but not too contemporary, not too large center island, relatively small, look won’t compete with water views.

Any ideas? I love your eye.


Oh, this is different! Kitchens that work for an MCM space.











Just in case, I'm going to share some blue countertops...

A little gray/blue






Anonymous wrote:Hi Eye Candy,
Great to see this thread again. Have you come across any shades of blue stone counter tops?

So just a question and this might come off as odd. Do you mean countertops that are blue? Because as I started my searching, I found that there is a kind of wood that is called "bluestone."

I'm not good at identifying wood species...just be forewarned!
From the kitchen thread:
I don't want to hijack this thread but what are some interesting things that you've seen in people's master closets? I've seen stackable washer dryers. I've seen closet islands. I'm curious to know what else is out there?


Fireplace?


Balcony


Exterior door


This is just a shoe closet...with a kitchenette.


Elton John has a section for sunglasses


Okay, this is quite a display.


No unusual features, but I just think it's pretty.

Looking for treatments for sliding glass doors to replace..vertical blinds..gasp! I need to help mom replace 3 sets in her FL home. Only ones she uses are in the kitchen out to lania so its high traffic. Other 2 in dining room and bedroom stay closed and she doesn't use those doors. TY!



Drapes are simple, could be as expensive or inexpensive as you want them to be, and could be easy to operate.


You could also use outside mount shades/romans.

I don't think we get too many requests for exteriors, so this will be fun. Any thoughts on style? Colonial, Georgian, etc?
