My mom is wanting to update her kitchen, and is struggling with ideas. She wants to keep the cabinets and just change the countertops and backsplash to something lighter. A quartz that would go well with her current cabinets. Does anyone have an app that could create a visual picture for her with ideas of what it would look like? Thank you in advance for your help!

Question for interior decorators? I posted the other day about my grey kitchen walls and wanting to change them. Some suggested I coordinate with the green dining room walls. When you don't have an open floor plan, is this still recommended? I hope there's a decorator or two who wouldn't mind answering. I've lived here for 30 years and struggled with this the whole time. I always feel like my choices are never quite right. I have four green rooms already, and my husband said no more. We have three blue rooms already, and he said no more. It was hard to find a paint color that went with everything. This is why I landed on SW Icicle. I felt it went well with the wood colors, the beadboard, the counter, and the backsplash. That was hard to do without using blue or green. This is a farmhouse, not a fancy Victorian, and I feel like farmhouses used to be painted grey? Maybe not. Thank you.

Does anyone have a narrow, 4ft wide walk in closet? We have enough space to do 4x13ft w/o eating up too much of our room. Any wider and it starts getting tight at the foot of bed. (Renovating, not new build.)
Planning to do 15” deep cabinets on one wall only, and yes I know hanging clothes will stick out more. Will use pocket doors.
A walk in will be much more functional for us than a built in wardrobe.
Just want to make sure it doesn’t feel ridiculously cramped.

I have to pick my counters and backsplash. Cream cabinets. I don't want to do Taj I want to do a quartz I'm so afraid to make a mistake! This is the cabinet and floor. Anyone do anything similar here? Ignore two square tiles that's for a floor.. I’m almost tempted to go to white!!

Our New Living Room

We both loved the idea of doing a sunken living room and we also both love cedar cladding. Had a local upholstery shop do some custom cushions for us as well for the built in couch.

Price tags are still on and I haven’t fluffed the stems because I want to decide if I should keep them first, but what’s missing? I plan to hang the mirror before anyone comments on hating the reflection in the mirror. I like the mirror, I realize it’s not for everyone.

I need help , I just got finished doing a makeover on my dining room. I already had this solid wood dining table. Does it look good or should I keep the table and buy new fabric chairs ?

We are almost done with our kitchen remodel and now my husband wants to refinish the floors. We really like the look of light oak but I’m concerned our small planks won’t look as nice as the large planks look. Does anyone have light oak floors with similar size planks?
*EDIT countertops are in.

We have this awkward kitchen corner in our house and we’re unsure of what to do with it. We tried a breakfast nook and my husband built the bench but it is just not cute nor functional. We love the farmhouse style and want something cute and functional. It’s right by our front door (on the right). We also have that random little space to the bottom left and don’t know what to do with it either. Any ideas?

Which looks best with our espresso cabinets?

Replacing damaged kitchen laminate with vinyl. Trying to decide between #1 and #2 aesthetically

Both are 9 mm planks with 20 mil wear layers. #2 has beveled edges.
