What a change for the better!

2 years ago

Can you share the paint colors for the cabinets and brick fireplace? I have a similar family room and I just love what you’ve done to this space.

So glad you like this room... one of my favorites from over the years :) I believe we matched the white to what the client had already used on trim throughout the house to create a cohesive feel from new to old spaces. Would definately see larger samples of white before you choose... Couple suggestions would be Sherwin Williams colors: Pure White, Pearly White, Extra White, Highly Reflective White, Alabaster. Good Luck!

thanks so much! I currently have white dove on all my trim so am considering just reusing that on our builtins, which I believe is still a popluar trim/cabinet white. Thanks again :-)

Depending on how far you budget goes, I would look at adding traditional cornice and pelmet and replacing the plinth with a similar oyster colour. End panels for wall units could also be replaced / added. Some chessboard style tilling in 3 colours would also bring out the walls. It's hard to tell but is the oak surround also on the wall units? I haven't checked your location but this is something we can help with

Though a veneer may not fluctuate in size like real oak it will wear out far quicker than a window seat made of solid oak, a very long lasting material. I think the judgement you have to make is whether the surfaces of your window seat need to be that hard wearing, the jointing and edges will also have to be well detailed to achieve something that looks as good as solid oak.

The laundry lobby and the bedroom lobby are not very efficient uses of space, unless you want the extra separation of the bedrooms from the living space. Personally I would combine the laundry with the second bathroom. Then you should be able to make the sitting area of your new open plan room bigger as you can add on most of the space currently given to the second bathroom and bedroom lobby. If the sitting area becomes bigger, then perhaps you do not need a separate sitting room and can make it a third bedroom (or at least, this could be presented as an option if you come to sell).
