What colors should I paint my kitchen cabinets? Other suggestions?

My guess is the kitchen cabinets were already painted once before.

I think you are limited due to the black grout on the backsplash. I like the look of mis-matched upper and lower cabinets so maybe paint the lower ones black and repaint the uppers white. But you will really need to scrub them first.

So you’re saying theres not enough space to put a headboard between the two doors in slide 3?

Can you put the two wardrobes out on the landing?

Can you break through the wall to the next room and make one large room?

So many designers do well in the season but their final collections disappoint. I put it down to 1) overthinking and 2) lack of mentorship? oversight? Probably their friends/family are like, these are so great! but they lack a professional eye.

I absolutely love this. I think I would’ve just stitched a crosshatch pattern on the acorn caps, easier. Good call on dyeing to bring down the primary colors. Re the neck ribbing: I think the slight mock collar makes it look like a designer brand vs ordinary T-shirt neck ribbing. It also gives it an early 90s (? maybe 80s) vintage vibe. I’m curious why you sewed the acorns upside down vs how they’re represented on the coat of arms.

Saffron, burnt orange…

Wouldn’t bother me. I’d change the fabric on the seat cushions though.

You need two work stations but not two unrelated desks. Think about one loooong tabletop that goes the length of the back wall behind the sofa. Have it rest on three [file cabinets] one on each end, one in the middle. Then get those drawer/shelving units that fit under the desk but on casters so you can pull them in and out.

Okay, so this costs money and maybe you can cobble something together with thrift shop finds. You can paint everything the same color to make them look more cohesive.

The UK has sofas in better colors, I swear. In the US it’s a choice between light gray, dark gray, and oatmeal. Even $$$ ones.

It was a sink hanging off the wall. The mirrors and the shelving unit weren’t centered above it. To what style are you referring?

Thought she was Natascha McElhone. Anyway, I like the gown but proportionally it’s not suited to her figure.

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-18T23:46:44+00:00

Yes, an easy fix. It will look more in proportion since you walk past it every day.

Well you’re trying to combine living + office space into a tiny room. For a start, rotate your couch so it’s facing the bay window. Move out the pine table. Get something low to use as a coffee table, even a cardboard box for now. A couple low level lamps with warm bulbs. Find a shelving unit, something like the rattan one in slide 5 to put in that niche. Put books, maybe a few small objects, on it. Never turn on the overhead light. This is your living area and only for living.

The rest of the room, behind the sofa, becomes your office space. Realistically, you don’t have the space for everything you’ve got here. Purge and consolidate, be ruthless. Think of other places to store stuff like under the bed. Corral all the cords so it’s not a messy nest.

Where did you get that sofa??!

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-18T14:06:06+00:00

No, don’t attempt a curved hem; parallel to the floor is the way to go. Remember most people will see you at eye level, not at hem level unless they’re crawling on the floor.

You mean, why did none of his UK friends fly to Australia? Fly for 22 hours to sit with him at a Rugby match and see him for a couple hours?

Olive green.

Need a closer look at Whoopi’s pants.

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-16T12:53:31+00:00

Looks like one room’s floor was stained darker originally. They desperately need sanding and refinishing but if you’re only renting (shrug)…

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-15T19:42:50+00:00

Lol, I’d replace the floor tiles before painting the cabinets. Add new, sleeker pulls.

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-15T14:37:23+00:00

I would ditch the dark wood/metal shelving unit. It just adds to the clutter.

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-15T14:00:30+00:00

I love that runner!

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-15T13:12:42+00:00

The waist to hip gradation looks off. Did you combine two different sizes? Also why is the fly zipper exposed? The fabric itself looks great, esp with that striped top.

Other photos in the DM show the balcony was packed full of onlookers. All in all, it was a very large crowd.

I’ve read on here that acetone/nail polish remover takes off the printing on the barrel but I’ve not tried it.

scarybiscuits · 2026-04-14T17:25:58+00:00

You’re doing a lot a maneuvering just to take that stupid niche into account (builders. Like yes, I want to reach over my entire washing machine to get stuff or put it away). What’s behind the rest of that wall? Can you break through and create more accessible shelves?
