I love modern designs, but I am a traditionalist at heart, so I wanted to find a way to blend the two. I hope you like this red, white, and blue nursery :

This room was blue when I moved in. I painted it hot pink!! The pink was different but it hurt my head after a while. SO back to blue, but a better blue. I painted the ceiling dark brown partly as an experiment to see if I would like it, and partly to hide the imperfections, cracks, bumps, and glued on stars!!! Turns out, I do love a brown ceiling and have since painted the bedroom ceiling and will soon paint the bathroom. Anyone thinking about painting a ceiling dark brown....don't be afraid!! Although I must say, I think white crown molding is a must in such an endeavor.
So anyway, this is my favorite room so far but I am open to any suggestions you may have. Several minds are better than one.

Blue Simplicitiy

This Blue Simplicity space a.k.a. my living room is one of my many great ideas that I turned in to reality. My intension was to have a simple and low profile style. I started by having an off white low profile sectional couch with a chair. I added bright blue, baby blue, and white pillows to bring color to this plain set. The blue squared pattern rug complimented the pillows. Next, I added a glass coffee table and glass corner table, both with chrome legs to compliment the chrome bottom trim and legs of the couch set. To compliment the height of the room, I added a tall five-branch nickel brushed lamp and purposely hung up silver floating frames way up. These floating frames have blue digital abstract design to keep the theme modern and to again compliment the color scheme of the room. As a great way to make the room bigger, I added frameless mirrors on one side of the wall. Of course what would a bachelor place be without a nice set of surround sound and an LCD screen. Keeping the low profile scheme, I had to make sure that my speakers are low profile and not bulky; same with the LCD, a bigger or bulkier screen would’ve been not good.

This is what coming home is all about after a long day of work; nice and relaxing! I’ve had plenty of comments for my space from friends and family. Now it’s for the public to enjoy and critic. All comments are welcome. Thank you for visiting my space.

Beachy Modern Living ...

I've been moving things around here quite a bit lately: I finally found the perfect spot for our tiki-hut - it as a little bit too big for the entrance and wasn't very functional there. We have a lot of people over, so it's perfect to keep the glass water container on it all the time now. We also got new ceiling fans - it's very hot here in Hawaii, and I wanted the fans to look more tropical so I got the woven leaf look. We added more seating and changed a few more things around:

This large and comfortable room serves as a hub for our family of 4. Whether it's tv watching, game playing, entertaining friends or family or reading- we do it all in here! All fabrics from the slipcovered white cotton sofas to the pillow covers are easily washable from our black dog Raven's fur or sticky fingers from our 3 and 5 year olds. What do you think?

This bathroom hasn't been touched since at least the 1970's. We have many limitations with space, but it is much brighter and cleaner. Clawfoot Tub was turned into a shower with new fixtures.

Creative use of 4 foot tall crawl/storage space. Formerly our storage - area you have to climb up and in to get into. I needed a studio space. Living in the city and abutted by other buildings...there was no where else to look for extra space! So with 4 feet of unimpeded head room (5 feet between floor joists – I can stand up straight!...my hobbit hole studio space was created! It has a window, running water, electricity, lights, storage between heating ducts, my bench, work surfaces, anvil, kiln, tools....and all seats on wheels so you don't have to stand very often! You can roll from station to station! Just remember to climb up and crawl in! Believe it or not - it works really well!

What A Dramatic Diff...

Space Description: Originally my Grandparents 1970's "Vacant" home, I, a single 23 year old guy, bought my house in 2008 and it was a dump in need of a serious remodel. Though the projects never seem to be completly over, I demolished the entire interior of the house and things have turned out amazing. The most significant change made in the kitchen was removing the wall between the living room and kitchen. This allows there to be one large open concept space rather then 2 separate rooms.

Featuring Select 6x24 Veincut Travertine on the floor and a Classic Splitface Mosaic, uniquely found at Old World Stone Imports, people that come in the kitchen can't help but awe. The Counters are Blue Pearl Granite with a chiseled edge to tie in with the the rustic 3D Backsplash. A simple but beautiful trick that I have learned, when it comes to windows in the kitchen, is to simply frame them in Travertine moldings, in this case the Classic Alpha. This allows the window to appear almost as an ever changing picture.

I had custom Cabinets created so that they were designed exactly as I wanted them to be done. The main stain that I picked is also the stain used throughout the entire house on all of the moldings. This allows a simple accent that flows and creates uniformity throughout the entire house. On the island I chose to do a simple black wash to create a unique feature different from the rest of the kitchen as an accent.

After removing the horrible wallpaper I chose a simple yet traditional beige paint color. Once again this paint color can be found throughout the majority of the house. What do you think of me painting the Main Kitchen walls a classic Country Golden yellow? Though the deck door is not perfect I changed it from its 1970's green to a much more modern simple white doorway just by using some paint.

Our kitchen/bar has a very unique setup, the bar was the original kitchen and the kitchen was originally a den. We gutted the existing kitchen/bar and installed Ikea cabinets, granite tile, backsplash tile, under/inner cabinet lighting and stainless steel sinks & appliances, all by ourselves!
