painting of barn

2 years ago

Can you tell me about the barn painting on the left wall looking from the sitting area towards the kitchen. I’d love to get something like that for my home. Is it possibly by the artist Jean Jack? Is there a website where I could order one or is it a single original piece of art?

I had a similar situation in a house I moved into years ago. I did a quick fix of painting all of the walls, woodword and the cupboards the same shade of cream. Sounds a bit OTT but it really knocked back the cupboards, which in all honesty are not something you want to make a feature out of, and created a calmness to the whole space. In your case, I would go for an off white so that the gang plug wires, radiator pipes and covers hiding the wires for the extractor fan etc., are disguised as much as possible -- that will tie in with the palest of the tiles in the splash back, and then you will have a pretty basic colour scheme of a very place colour and the dark worktop, fireplace and floor, which will stand out more. I think you need more storage with doors -- that bookshelf isn't doing anything for the kitchen. If you could get something in there that could hide lots of clutter -- even if just something cheap from IKEA, that would help greatly. Or work something around the filing cabinet that you have? A huge cheap mirror over the fireplace would bounce some light around too. If you don't want to go for undercupboard lighting, and if you have enough plug points, how about some lamps on the worktop, especially at the FF end with a floor standing lamp at the end with the chair. For the table, I would go for a table cloth and reupholster the chairs if they are not to your taste. A new blind in a much fresher colour would be great. Depending on the colour of your filing cabinet (if you use it), I think a petrol blue could add a nice vintage vibe to the chimney breast, and make more of a feature of it. I would try and go down a vintage/slightly industrial route rather than country. You may have some stuff lurking around that you could use, once you have got the base colours right -- currently it just feels a little cluttered and a bit of a mish mash. Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some after shots :)

Hello lissellec, You have a lovely space to work with. Do like the colour of the kitchen door! You can see already how the space is shaping up nicely.. So all you really need are a few little touches here and there... I don't mind the flooring in the kitchen either.. It could be worse and actually I would wait as it doesn't seem a priority I feel and you could concentrate on the more immediate things you have in mind... What I would say is I think you can afford to be bold in the living room... So have picked a few papers you may like.. There is a contemporary feel here and with the shutters, windows etc as you say very little paper visible.. you can afford to try something really strong.. These are all Cole & Son but I do like the bottom 3 especially for a rich decadent room here, but they all could be fabulous I think.. One other thing I would do is paper the walls either side of the french doors in the dining area or even paint something complimentary.. You could then paint the doors as well so you have some contrast throughout.. Also give the dining table a little more room by bringing it out further into the room. You could also try the dining chairs in a different placement. Place 1 of them beside each of the double doors and have the other two at each end.. It then creates a frame within a frame, so to speak, setting the scene for the next room and so the dining table can be seen.. The glass options you have chosen offer a light airy and contemporary feel in both rooms. The blooms are really lovely there too! :))

Well, the chippies van was up the drive when I got home from work - a little unexpected. At first I thought that he was sleeping with the Mrs, but then I remembered that he needed to finish the skirting boards. He's done a cracking job - quite a few tricky internal/external corners, plus the corners not being exactly 90 degrees he was back and forth to his saw all the time. He really did a stirling job. It was 13 meters of skirting in total - which took him 4.5 hours in total (over 2 evenings) and it cost me £90. Considering I was origionally going to do it, it could well be the best £90 I've spent on this whole kitchen. I need to get a lick of paint inside the alcove that's pictured. Our little fishtank will be returning in there, but as it's out I may as well do it. When we get the bar stools, and dining room table & chairs I will update again. So: What would I change/add/remove ADD - Somewhere to hang the tea-towels. We have some on the inside of a cuboard, but they keep falling off. Maybe I need some slightly more expensive 'hangers'. The space where they could have gone we put a spice rack/draw thingie - that's probably better though. ADD - We forgot about the bin! Now we have our pedal-bin basically kicking around the kitchen. The Mrs has already filled the cupboards to maximum capacity so I'm having trouble getting an internal cupboard one past her. I think I may just fit one then deal with her later. The bin has gravitated to a semi-perminant place, but with the kids trying to be *cough* helpfull the wall is already beginning to get the odd splatter of 'stuff' where they just throw their food in the general direction of it. Last night I said 'Well, why don't we just put it in the utility room' - She shot that idea down instantly as she obviously isn't happy about the extra 4 steps that it would take to walk all-that-way into another room. Poor thing! Typical woman lol. ADD - At the start of the project I would have got the electricians to chase in another mains wire from the fusebox so that it comes out of the kitchen wall centrally to the back garden, then I would put a PIR Security Light in. I know that it's not a big job by any means, and I could, and probably will, do it myself over the coming weeks but if I could have had it without a wire on the outside of the house then that'd would have been perfect. Also, thinking about it, I would have actually got him to do it at the front of the house as well as he re-wired the whole downstairs with new fusebox etc.

I can't give any specific colours sorry for the dark warm tones but someone else might be able to suggest ones to look for that could work. I'm thinking monochrome with accents would be lovely. Any deeper feature walls with rich plum or blue tones would be a warmer colour. I like the natural look in the last image but wondered if it relies on lots of natural light to make them work @Forzaitalia? Vintage style would look nice - especially if you can tone some of the wood furniture so there isn't as many woods. Our first home had all wood doors and it made such a difference to the room painting them ie brighter. Could work with the furniture that way as well. Hotel rooms - can't find a specific image but I would google 'basement bedrooms' as well as they usually have little natural light so are a good inspiration
