Michellini's Profile

My favorite winter cocktail is unsweetened cranberry juice, sparkling water (or sprite if you like things sweeter) and malibu rum. It tastes like sunshine. Not quite as healthy as some of the other suggestions, but still delish!

Since it's a rustic table, I'd try making the scratches blend in by adding a finish over them. If you don't like the result, then you can take it to a refinisher and are only out about $10 for trying.

I'm sure that there are plenty of options, but I like using tung oil on furniture because it's foolproof to do and resists watermarks so you don't get water rings afterwards. If you only want to treat the scratches, I'd apply some tung oil to them with a Q-tip and then buff it with a clean cloth. To treat the whole top of the table, sand lightly then apply with a cloth and then rub off. Tung oil stinks like heck, so be sure to open a lot of windows! Good luck.

I don't have any ideas for your vanity, but I'd remove the upper cabinets to open the space up and paint the upper walls white since you've already got enough colour happening.

I LOVE this look, so imagine my glee when I went to the Silk & Burlap website and found that the table's on sale! Still, at $1320 and 84" long, it's about twice the size and price that I'd like - anyone want to go halfsies on a table?

Swoon!

It's a really great space! I think that you can liven up the space by reflecting some of the green undertones that you've got in the fireplace wall. I'd pull the sofa forward about 2 feet and install a long planter (or series of planters) so that you can have some tall green plants behind. Areca palms and rubber plants are lovely and do a wonderful job at purifying the air.

Then, I'd move your ottoman to in front of the sofa so that you can put your feet up on it, and get a vibrant green chair to go in its place.

If you want a really colorful place, I'd consider swapping your carpet out for one of the bright ones from Company C (whose links are always on AT) since I think that your space is big and bright enough to balance their great colours.

After WAY too much research, I found that the table from #3 is the Heritage Pedestal Table from McGuire Furniture

Unfortunately, the price starts at $3300 - I guess that it's staying on the "love but not going to buy list"!!!

I think that the above idea of retiling the bath surround with the white tiles that are above the bath would make for the best result. However, if you want to personalize it (at the risk of the resale value, you could tile the corner - both the damaged and undamaged sides - with coloured glass tiles.
I also found some adorable accent tiles on Etsy

... but I don't think that it would be a very good idea to put something so awesome/personal into the bath area. But if you do want to go for an accent tile that looks like something in particular, I'm sure that one of the clever artists on Etsy could make something the right size for you!

Good luck!

Beryl,
Have you considered a window film? You apply them to the glass like mactac and they let light through while blocking the view. AT has done a few posts on them, which you can find if you type "window film" into the search box. Here are a couple that I found:

Good luck!

Since you're already thinking of replacing your bedside table, I'd replace it with two small white tables. If you then painted the side table that you have under your green painting and your TV stand, it would really lighten up the room (and maybe make the TV stand seem a bit less obtrusive). Then, you could add seat or accent cushions to your white chairs in a colour drawn from either your paintings or in a turquoise that complements your fab dog bed. Although I like the pattern, I think that the pintuck duvet would be nicer in white, since I don't think the current colour is a good match for your cream walls.
