It could look very cute, especially if the chairs have a tweed jacket type of upholstery already. You would need to make sure they are perfectly even and both lined up the same.

My first thought looking at the pics was that I hope you tested to find out whether or not the popcorn ceilings contained asbestos before you started chipping away at them. Please say you did! Sandra & Justin's Kitchen: Dealing with Dust Renovation Diary |

I love the huge, low, designer sofas. You know, the $15,000 ones that can seat 8 people at a time. We settled for one large enough for 2 people to comfortably take a nap. Choosing the Right Size Sofa: Four Key Questions to Ask Yourself |

I agree with Stecko. I would suggest warm gray or pale blue wall color. Definitely get rid of the blinds. If you must have window coverings for privacy, use white linen curtains. That will help make your white appliances work better with the dark cabinets. Declutter your countertops for sure. I also think the table and chairs would look a lot better with a coat of paint - they could be white, or white table and red chairs... or white with the legs dipped blue (especially if you do blue wall paint).

1. I actually like the look of good wall to wall carpet. It can be very luxurious and practical. It's critical to have it professionally cleaned twice a year though, which not enough people do.

I don't tape in general. I do use a painters edge and keep a supply of clean, damp rags handy. Is This Don't Actually a Do? Skipping the Painter's Tape |

Smart move putting the added storage up top, including counter seating, and adding a W/D. The counters are gorgeous. If it were my kitchen (which it's not, and this is just my own style) I would have gone for a streamlined look with all flat-fronted white cabinets with recessed pulls. That way all the cabinetry reads as one solid plane, which would expand the space by not stopping the eye. I find a lot of full shelves, glass panes, books and things very visually distracting and usually try to tone it all down as much as possible. Meh, different strokes.

Usually I think harmonizing the tone of the walls with the color of the floors is most important. But color is entirely dependent on light, so I think the best guide is to figure out what kind of light you have. Choosing the Best White Paint: A Cool vs. Warm and Old vs. New Theory |

A lot of fiber is not a good recipe for a comfortable flight. I prefer pasta salad or a big fluffy roll - puts me right to sleep. And I know people who bring smelly foods onto airplanes don't actually care about other people's comfort, but I have to say it -- Travel Recipe: Airplane Salad with Greens, Grains & Seeds Recipes from The Kitchn |
