Your square patterned floor looks great. Was wondering if you have any color combo ideas for a floor like that in my laundry room. It has Hawthorne Yellow (Benjamin Moore) walls and tall white trim. Thanks for your help! Benita–

Any recommendations for a good place that does custom indoor cushions with great fabrics?

But if we want to use it there is a very good airflow from under the bed and up through a slit in the windowsill (not seen on the photo).And as Benita said: the colour on the sink has not changed. The first photo is old and scanned. Benita shot it when we first wiewed the house as a note for future decisions (to buy, or not to buy...). Hi Lisa,

We opted to give our son the master bedroom so he had space for all his toys. The radiator is never on though, not even in winter. If it were on there are grommeted holes at the front to let warm air out and a bigger gap at the top which you can't see in the photo. There's also a large 8" gap at the bottom by the floor under the bed.So we did think about it but turns out never have to use the radiator :) We had no choice but to place the bed against the radiator in the bedroom because there’s no room to put it anywhere else .

Though the hardware itself is different and interesting, the color completely turns me off. Looks a little 1970s to me. Everything else looks absolutely amazing though. Kudos on it all.Lisa, I've been having a similar problem, because my living room would look much better if I covered the radiator with the couch. Now we're contemplating having separate summer and winter setups. Am I the only one who doesn’t like the green toilet?

Lisa,

No covers, no putting heavy furniture in front of it, etc. Doing so will cause a big increase in your heating bill, because the radiator isn't heating the room eficiently, and the residents will then turn up the thermostat. This does need to be taken into account equally with the look of a place... Having done 5 gut renovations, you’re never supposed to block a radiator.
