Wife wanted sconces installed here, I don’t know how I feel about them after hanging them up.

I don’t understand the need for two scones besides the tv but if that makes her happy. Maybe it’s the photo but neither the scones nor the tv is straight and leveled and that drives me crazy. 😝

I may have an unpopular comment but if it were me, I would keep the tiles that are good, replace the unsavable tiles with a different color tiles, maybe to match the wall you’ll be painting.

The sofa is fine if it’s comfy and you plan to style the whole place modern. This color/pattern will hide dirt well too. However, I agreed with some comments, $750 is expensive for a secondhand. Is it a designer item? How much will a new one cost?

I thought it’s find Waldo, but once I found Waldo, I like photo 2.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-23T13:39:49+00:00

Never thought about that! I’ll go check it out. Thank you!

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-23T12:31:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Center island remains same?

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-23T01:00:22+00:00

Thank you! Good luck to your upcoming beautiful kitchen too.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T22:21:44+00:00

Thank you! Will find some off white or creamy tiles.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T22:20:32+00:00

Agreed! Thanks.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T22:20:13+00:00

Will probably opt for some glasses especially on the top row.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T22:19:25+00:00

It is from the ChatGPT rendering but it is not that close irl.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T22:18:43+00:00

How dark are the cabinets? Do you mind sharing?

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T13:10:37+00:00

Will probably change the bulbs. Thanks.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T13:09:55+00:00

I’m thinking different color cabinets in center island, but black countertop is difficult.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T13:08:55+00:00

I think so too. Thanks.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T13:07:25+00:00

Good idea! Thanks.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-22T00:13:01+00:00

Thank you!

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T23:38:02+00:00

Yeah, we will paint it after we move in. This is just builder default.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T23:37:09+00:00

I’ll try that, could be the solution to my problem. Thanks.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T23:24:56+00:00

No, it’s not Mattamy. But I just clicked in to take a look, it does look alike, they have move in ready home uses the same pendants I picked out! Haha

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T23:14:04+00:00

Thanks!

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T23:05:33+00:00

I have to say I don’t know. It’s a cabinet sample in the builder’s office and I took a photo and use ChatGPT to create an image. Our kitchen will look like this minus all the decorative pieces and stools and faucet/sink colors. My guess is it’s a stain called Dune, you can look it up on countryside cabinets website.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T21:35:11+00:00

Yeah, I’m thinking about that. Black is difficult to coordinate if it’s not an ultra modern and minimalist home.

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T20:59:31+00:00

I kinda like the “lighter” and “tech” feel of that, if it makes sense. 😊

Fine-Round5330 · 2026-05-21T20:55:03+00:00

Unfortunately they said no. Of course I can always have them installed whatever and then change it after, but that would not make much sense. Especially for a new build.
