Need help with mantle

hace 8 años

I recently bought a home with a rather dated mantle. I showed a picture to a local interior designer and she suggested doing nothing with it and just painting the oak black. She also mentioned and google seems to confirm that brass is making a way back replacing chrome and nickel finishes. Also debating on placing a TV above. Thoughts?

I would paint the mantel, but not black, since there is already a nearly-black surround that is striking. I would, however, paint the brass black, as I have seen no sign that brass fireplace fittings are coming back (it's lights and bath fixtures where it's been showing up).

As for the TV, is there not plenty of space to put it to one side of the fireplace? Better height for viewing, and lets you showcase some actual art on that focal zone, rather than just setting up two stacked black boxes...

Bigger question: are you doing anything with the acoustic ceiling tile?!?

Q
(0) comentarios
My project is a small convenience store. The client pretty much wants to use as much space from the lot as he cant so the floor plan is just a rectangle, a simple rectangle. In front there's a covered terrace and i tried to make an entrance that can stand out. The problem right now is I dont want the roof design to be simple, but I'm having trouble with this. Im attaching the floor plan and two options for the main facade. HEEEELP! El proyecto es una tiendita pequeña. El ciente quiso utilizar el terreno al maximo, es por esto que la planta arquitectonica es rectangular, un simple rectangulo. En la fachada principal hay una terraza cubierta y trate de hacer una entrada que resalte. El problema que encuentro ahora es un diseño para el techo que no sea simple. Estoy adjuntando la planta arquitectonica y dos opciones de fachadas. AYUUDA! Mil gracias.

HELP - contractor totalled quote incorrectly, now says owe +10,000

@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!

The benefits of cassette air conditioning units https://www.airconditionersductless.com/ · Based on the fact that cold air falls, cassette a/c units which are mounted on ceilings ensure that the air is well distributed in the room. These air conditioning units have very powerful fans which can ensure that air is circulated in a larger space compared to other air conditioning units. · Because cassette air conditioning systems are usually mounted in the ceiling, basically floating or false ceiling, cassette a/c units do not consume essential space. · The condenser of the cassette air conditioning unit is typically located outside the building. As a result, a cassette a/c unit doesn’t make any noise, and this makes it the perfect choice for businesses and residential buildings. · Another benefit of a cassette air conditioner is its programmable thermostat and variable speed fan. This means that the user can adjust the room temperature, which helps in saving electricity bills. · Cassette air conditioners have been proven to be very energy efficient. The disadvantages of cassette air conditioners · Because cassette air conditioning units are mounted on the ceiling, it means that their compressors are situated outside. In large buildings, the distance between the air conditioning unit and the compressor can be relatively long, and this means that many holes should be drilled in the walls during installation. This can be costly and time-consuming. · If a person is considering to install a cassette air conditioning unit in the office or warehouse, it would mean that the individual needs more than one air conditioning unit. This can significantly increase the cost. · If a person lives in a building with many storeys or runs his or her business in a building with many storeys, the person is not guaranteed that the ceilings in the building will have sufficient space to allow the installation of a cassette a/c unit. If there is no sufficient space, then you can be forced to choose other types air conditioners, which cannot be energy efficient and silent like cassette air conditioners. However, before a person chooses an air conditioner, be it for business or residential building, they should ensure that they seek professional advice as this ensures that they get an air conditioner which suits his or her need.

Hi Marina ! I think you have a place that offers a lot of design opportunities. First of all, you would have to see the direction of the sun to locate the places of stay and plan the vegetation. The best thing is that you use vegetation that absorbs the rain and does not need great maintenance and irrigation to minimize the work due to the access it presents. I could help you make a 3d design if you wanted to visualize ideas for your terrace, I would be happy to assist you! Greetings and good day!

Go with the black for sure! What are you going to do about the hearth? You can replace that with a light colored stone - that would look good and give you some contrast. It's a good idea to get rid off the brass/gold ;)
