Our new house

8 years ago

I'd like to do horizontal wires or bars for our railings, but have been told that is against building codes. Is this something that has to be done after final inspection! (We're in Strathcona area, which has similar building codes as Edmonton)

These do not meet current building code in Edmonton but we are expecting the code to change in the future. Please give us a call so we can offer you further advice. 780-482-7214

Minnie is absolutely right about the wallpaper - whether there is a physical demarkation or not, you will still be creating a false line for the eye that's hardly going to be restful in your living room, and will just look odd. My advice would be to dump the idea of a feature wall and put your desire for a floral pattern into a lovely rug. I assume you are keeping the carpet? It looks light beige in the photos and you need to keep this colour in mind, as well as the black of the sofas, when choosing the rest of the scheme. Maybe have a look at rugs with big, swirly floral patterns in browns and coppers or golds as well as beige and black, then pick colours from that (copper or gold would be lovely) for your cushions and curtains. The walls (and up the staircase wall) I would paint in a very, very light shade of whatever beige or taupe dominates in the carpet (impossible to tell from a photograph so grab some paint charts). Good luck.

Envisage that without the back wall, the kitchen would open out in a similar way to this.

It is missing cosiness. A shelf above the heater filled with candles would create that and adding a large picture that you like (sunset would match the color of the lighting) in the middle of the room replacing the letters would help to achieve that.
