Hoping for advice from a little outside the box. We are renovating our grandparents traditional ranch with antique brick exterior. We are pushing the reno and design toward modern, with rustic influences. I would love to use Marvin Hampton Sage windows in this home. Am I crazy?? I would love to hear suggestions for trim colors, and roof colors to compliment the green windows. I have been playing with black/almost black trim, but this may be too dramatic. Any thoughts?

Need help in designing Foyer Area
Comments (28)Hi Few points: 1. It's not an independent residential apartment. It is a flat in a 25storey block 2. I have attached the floor plan for reference. The entrance is not too huge. 3. It's good to know that you guys have liked the Bathroom & kitchen design. The tiling work is in progress and it has come out well. I will take few snaps and post 4. When I say resort look - I understand and mean a simplistic natural looking design. More towards wood, nature, green, matt finish etc... Hope i am not confusing anyone here 5. Do you think the bathroom & kitchen design gels with what I mean by resort look. 6. The foyer area is a small (not too big) entrance. It's like a passage as you can see in the pics I posted earlier. When you enter you don't see the entire living room rather you see the wall (kitchen wall), where we intend to keep our dining table. Some thoughts on designing that wall is also requested Thanks!...See MoreSoothing bedroom...color suggestions please
Comments (10)Just wondering what is the current wall color? Looks lavender. I'm not a fan of accent walls in a bedroom. To me a bedroom should be relaxing and varying wall colors seem stimulating by their very nature (think they're great in other rooms though). But if you want to do one, I would do as you suggested, the wall where your headboard is located. Figure out what you want to keep (sounds like the headboard and the red chair are definitely staying), then work around that. I think cool greys are very pretty and a wonderful neutral that work would work well with your headboard and chair. Then you could bring in the other colors you like through bedding and artwork. If storage is an issue, can you get some bins on wheels for beneath your bed? Also can you consolidate all those smaller tables and get one larger table/storage piece in its place? I would check out IKEA if it's in your budget. Also given the size of your bedroom, if possible I would go with simple curtains that are the same color as your walls. Good luck!...See MoreBrown and green concept for living room

Comments (19)I very much agree with what Beverly said regarding adding shutters to your home. You don't have the space on either side of the windows to accommodate appropriately sized shutters. Awnings would definitely be an option. Since you're in the Caribbean, you can add color by using a brightly striped awning. One shutter option that you could consider would be a Bahama Shutter. Since they mount at the top of the windows, you wouldn't have any problem adding them if you like....See More

10 years agoNew pics, these are the only ones I have that are closer. The brick is basically a light red, with lots of black, green, and brown variations. The undertone of salmon/pinkish is apparent when the brick is broken.

10 years agoJust a little input from a roofing pro, recommend you begin looking at the CertainTeed Landmark series shingles and have a reputable contractor help you choose or make alternative suggestions. As with any kind of project, be sure to use the company name on Google to determine if you really want them working on your grandparents home. Bad contractors have a hard time hiding from Google.
