Which trim are you talking about? I''m always looking for new ideas. The frame around the fireplace opening is the original, beat up, greenish soap stone. I''m thinking of covering it in glass, mini-brick tiles. Whatcha think?Date: 6/24/2009 11:54:09 PM

April, I love the teal fireplace. Have you ever thought about painting the trim in a high gloss black?
The dining room, which is adjacent to the living room, is the same color. The living room only gets light from the bay window at the front of the house, so I did the walls a light color. I was trying to decide what to do with the fireplace and saw one teal in a design blog I follow. Everyone thought I was NUTS for painting it a color, but after my bathroom, it''s my favorite thing in the house.
Okay, here''s the deal. I really want to pop the fireplace color onto the bathroom ceiling. I did the hallway bathroom charcoal. I think a teal ceiling woud seal the deal. I don''t think I''m brave enough to do the ceiling in the living room teal. The room is kind of dark as it only gets natural light from one direction and the adjacent dining room has the teal color on the walls. I have to think about the black trim. I hear you on that, but I''m not sure DH would go for it (or if I''m truly brave enoughDate: 6/27/2009 1:50:50 AM

Okay, this is a bold move, but the crown molding and the baseboards. Not everyday do I see a teal fireplace. That let me know you kind of think outside of the box and might be willing to try something else. The reason why I mentioned that is black and teal are very classic and in a lot of historical homes, you could find that combination. And you know what would make it even better? If you took the fireplace color and popped it on the ceiling. It would be divine.
Thank you! We are really pleased with how this house came out.Date: 6/26/2009 7:12:53 PM

I went outside and took a picture. It''s a beautiful, sunny day here, so perfect for that!
When we bought the house it was a rather boring shade of cream or light tan. I didn''t want that and I didn''t want to look like the other houses around me, five of which are differing shades of green. I''d picked up this particular paint swatch as a potential for my kitchen and never considered it for the exterior until a couple of my friends put the idea in my head. That was that and I LOVE this color. I will admit that the first time I pulled up after they started painted I freaked out a little bit. It looked better once all the trim was done. Not so bright.

Everyone''s homes look lovely!
We purchased our home in 2007 in Staten Island, NY, one of the five boroughs.
I have a ton of pictures, but none of them express the mayhem of my house better than this picture, my cat and dog resting on my family room couch. lol.....
ETA- notice how all the pillows are thrown on the floor? That was my then two year old''s doing....
