1.30Family room interior design-help!?
Q.I'm thinking of redoing my family room, and don't quite know what to do. There's a maroon red brick fireplace, a light redwood bookcase & the right wall has white shutter windows. It's a medium-sized room, about 20x20 ft. around I want to take out the rest of the furniture and repaint the walls. Any ideas for the wall colour and colour of furniture?
A.Change the room to having neutral light colours.
Not only does light colours make a room seem more spacious, they give a feeling of airyness and freedom.
I'd paint your walls a nice ivory or cream colour.
A vase of colourful flowers on the dining table adds a pop of colour, and so does artwork and cushions. It's amazing how much of a difference those things can make to a neutral colour scheme.
If you have dark furniture you can also use mirrors and glass to make a room look lighter and to draw attention from the dark furniture, floors etc

1.10Can a local handyman/contractor build a home from the ground up?
Q.There is a local contractor who says they do kitchens, baths, windows, room additions, family rooms, siding, renovations, and remodeling. They told me they could build a house from the ground up but Im wondering if I should trust them to do the job (they will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than a big time builder) or does this seem like a bad idea?

1.00Honeycomb shades or faux wood blinds?
Q.I'm trying to pick out some blinds for my living room and my family room. Which is more sutiable for the living room? Family room? We spend much of our time in the family room and very little in the living room. Any advice would be appreciated!
A.Honeycomb blinds help with insulation. Something to do with the shape of the blind. If utility bills are high I would go with those. If not then go for the faux wood blinds they are attractive and come in some many colors and wood grain choices.

1.00We are remodeling our kitchen and I need your opinion.Should we get rid of our back door?
Q.We are in need of more cabinet space in our some what small kitchen. We are gonna knock out one wall and open the kitchen to what will be a family room. We will also turn a 5.5 foot wide window, in the family room, into a patio door that will lead out to a soon to be deck.
We have a kitchen door that is now 3.5 feet adjacent to where said patio door will be in 6 months. We have been getting different opinions on our kitchen back door. some people say yeah remove it for more cabinets. Some say no keep if for emergency exit.
My question is if we should keep the door even though we will have another set of doors 3.5 feet away in the family room on the same wall. what do you think.
Please try to explain your answer. your opinion will help me decide.
Thanks.
A.Can you leave the door for now, purchase the cabinets necessary to go in that space, and install them when you add the family room? This would allow you to keep the door for safety's sake now but close it off for additional space later. I don't know how your countertops and such will be laid out, so I don't know if this is truly a possibility.
In any case, I'd go for the long term solution and close the door off if building codes allow it.
1.00What color walls and furniture for blue countertops?
Q.Our countertops in the kitchen turned out to be a lot more blue than we had anticipated (The sample chip looked to be mostly grey with blue and khaki accents). We have a very open floor plan, and there are no divisions between the kitchen, breakfeast nook, and family room. We don't yet have furniture for our family room, and now we're unsure what color we should get, and what color to paint the family room. Anybody have some advice? I'd prefer to have neutral color furniture, but I don't want everything to be neutral and end up looking bland.
A.Yep the 1st person took the words right out of my mouth. yellow is an excellent color with blue. you just have to be real careful and do a creamy toned down yellow. you can use rusty, pumpkin type colors as accents if the red is too eye popping.
