I really like the black door. I like the light walls. (We've lightened up our living room walls, and I really like it. Not white, but almost white.) I really like that light fixture. And all of your inspiration photos. Really looking forward to seeing what you do here.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551793959655853424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-51032709105065887702015-04-13T22:39:16.846-06:002015-04-13T22:39:16.846-06:00t--thank you so much!

On a brighter note, I love the black door and I really love your ideas for the china cabinet. I think painting it in a fun color looks amazing.

You could always start with primer before deciding on a color. I too have an old piece of furniture (a small table) that I've finally decided to paint a pop of color, once I determine my color scheme for our family room.MMarienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-62804098734874416792015-04-09T23:12:15.172-06:002015-04-09T23:12:15.172-06:00Robin--thanks for the love for the black door.

But I am glad for the vote for painting the cabinet. I may take the chickens way out and try a colour inside the cabinet first--but that could just draw too much attention to the junk inside. Also thinking hard about new hardware.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-51330369259946703752015-04-09T14:25:17.298-06:002015-04-09T14:25:17.298-06:00I wonder when 1800s style incandescent bulbs becam...I wonder when 1800s style incandescent bulbs became "too modern"... haha.<br /><br />My vote is for painting the cabinet, personally.<br />I LOVE the coral/bluish colour scheme, but I think that "tardis" blue (heh) or a variation (the lighter blue inside is a gorgeous idea) would probably tie in better with the colours you have. Assuming those navy chairs are going to be hanging around.<br /><br />Looking great so far!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354639735982315219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-62582152246081053292015-04-09T12:04:49.943-06:002015-04-09T12:04:49.943-06:00I think going with the flow, organic design is oft...I think going with the flow, organic design is often the best ... it truly represents how you feel rather than how you plan on something being. Trust your instincts. I love the black door and have wanted a few myself. And it will go so well with whatever pop of colors you choose for the furniture.

I am going to mull over the china cabinet. Originally I had thought I would change the room over to being mostly neutral--but the things on the Expedit are so colourful!

And every room can use some black.<br /><br />I would keep the china cabinet as it is...maybe just paint or use wallpaper on the inside for some color.
