White dove - warm but not too dark. The light value will be a good counter to the rug.

The knives on the wall make me nervous. Seem too easy to bump into and accidentally dislodge from the magnetic strip.

I saw a set of these chairs last week. I was told they were from the 70's. I think the seat was black padded leather.

House is adorable. I would only comment that the remodel is done more in the style of a 1920s craftsman than a 1940s bungalow.

It is hard to match a color from a home printer as they only create a visual mix from the 4 ink colors.
Matching to a ribbon, paper, fabric is a terrific idea and much easier.

The high gloss level is part of the color story here. There is a lot of light on the stairwell. The color you are looking for may be more yellow than you think. Try looking at Benjamin Moore chamomile or chic lime.

Lovely transformation. The only thing I would have done different is I would have moved the stove 3 feet to the right. Easier to get at the oven and for lefthanded people like myself, easier to use the stove top.

I used a thin foam under the click-lock laminate flooring that I laid over concrete. The form is made and sold specifically as an under layer for the click-lock floor. It acts as a moisture barrier and helps level out little things.
I think in order to install a real wood floor you would have to lay down a moisture barrier and then a wood sub-floor and then your parquet.

"I finally found a piece I love . . ."

Maybe you should give up Starbucks, restaurants, movies, shoes etc for 6 - 10 months and buy a piece of furniture you love. Even if it is more than you ever thought you'd pay for a piece of furniture. Craigslist and Ikea are great for fill in pieces until you find what you love.

P.S. it's on sale.

The wi fi enabled printer is in the closet.

Sweet desk.

The gas shut off valve appears to be on the doorway (left) side of the meter. This should not be blocked with a build out. Enclosing gas meters is usually not allowed and you are not supposed to paint them as they belong to the gas company. (can you tell I've gone back and forth with my local gas company?) The curtain idea as suggested by buzsawyer seems the simplest.
