Thank you ericasullivan - I must've glossed over that part - it makes much more sense!


Kitchen Renovations: Best Decisions & Biggest Regrets

Um...am I the only one who's confused? This kitchen shown in the photos doesn't appear to be the one described. Heath backsplash? Handblown light fixtures? Open shelving? Stovetop in the island? I don't see any of these. It's a lovely kitchen that's shown, but would love to see the one described in the article!

Please, please, please make ALL the animal prints (fashion, decor, and otherwise) go away!

I vote for sofa against the wall..
Add an area rug that's big enough to tuck under the front of the sofa a bit, a coffee table (maybe round and glass - to keep it more visually open?), and an endtable on the kitchen end of the sofa. Definitely a neutral instead of the green, but some artwork over the sofa would be great.

mntngr -

As someone who works for a firm that designs office space (not the one pictured) - there's definitely a concern on the part of many of clients that their space not be seen as too *lux* by shareholders, donors, customers (esp. in the case of medical facilities these days), but please also consider that they're trying to create a space to attract and retain the employees that spend 8 hours per day there.

Yikes! I have to say I was disappointed in the windows. Waaay too busy, no visual rest, no focus. I voted for the window by Eileen Joyce as it was the only one with any room to breathe...

I like gingergirl's idea. If that doesn't work, you could similarly build a box that goes across, along the ceiling, above the light fixture, from the wall that the meter is on, to, hopefully, another wall on the right side of the sink? It could still be made from MDF and have a piano hinge or some sort of access panel, but it wouldn't stand out as this weird anomaly sticking out of one wall, but would look more like something with a little bit of intention. It would bring down the ceiling height there, but might be an option if a cabinet from the top down the left side doesn't work.

I love the sheet tucked in at the foot of the bed, not so much the sides. Can't stand it when the bedding pulls up from the foot, leaving my tootsies exposed!

Know when to say when.

I agree with those above who said to go with greys and neutrals. Anything complementary to blue (i.e. orange) will bring out the blue more.
