House design
So last weekend, we went to go take a look at our lot (they excavated!) and we also stopped by the model home of the Westminster. This week, Paul and I visited Minto’s Design Centre to start thinking about our colours. We have a lot of choices to make, and the deadline will be our Dec appointment with our designer.
We need to pick cupboards for the kitchen, main bathroom, and ensuite. Then floor for those 3 rooms (ceramic bathrooms, vinyl kitchen floor), tile for those rooms, and countertops for those rooms. For the carpet, we need to pick a colour (and/or upgrade to a nicer carpet). For the living/dinning room, we are hoping to go with hardwood, but we need to pick a stain.
I’m especially keen on getting all the right colours picked out for the kitchen. It’s a really important room in the house, and unlike bathrooms, the accessories don’t feature as prominently, it’s really all about the chosen surfaces.
Upon first glance, we kinda like this blue countertop, which would go nicely with a brown/blue flooring we thought was nice…
Both these surfaces look like they would go nicely with a backsplash we could have:
We may have to choose another cupboard though, as the ones that looked “OK” with the countertop alone might not match well with the floor and backsplash (we didn’t go to the effort of putting every little piece together in one place!)
I think we would paint the walls blue.
Now it’s just trying to picture everything together in this space…
