Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

Colors are very important in home renovations. 颜色是非常重要的家居装修。 You don’t want all that time, effort and renovation money to be wasted by poor color selection. 您不想让所有的时间 ， 精力和金钱来装修浪费穷人的颜色选择。 We had used the color-coordinator, Debbie, from the store where we purchased our paint in a prior home’s main floor and because of the nice job she did there we had her come out and give us color recommendations for this entire house. 我们曾使用彩色协调员，黛比，从我们的商店购买我们的涂料在事先首页的主会场，并因尼斯的工作，她有我们，她站出来，给我们颜色的建议，这整个房子。

BEFORE 在…之前
The first picture is the ‘before’ picture of the family room. 第一张图片是'前'图片的家庭室。 Notice the blue carpet, blue walls and floor to ceiling fireplace. 看到蓝色地毯，蓝色的墙壁和地板到天花板壁炉。 While blue is one of our daughters favorite colors, it’s not ours for a family room. 而蓝色是我们其中一个女儿最喜爱的颜色，这不是我们一个家庭室。 As well the brick of the fireplace just overpowered everything else. 以及砖的壁炉只是压倒一切。 The curtains were at least 10 years old and there was no lighting other than floor lamps and the southern exposure windows out to the backyard & forest. 拉开帷幕，分别在至少10岁，并没有照明以外的落地和南部的Windows暴露出来的后院＆森林。

AFTER 在…之后

The picture below is the first of two ‘after’ pictures. 下面的图片是首次两个'后'的图片。

• Pot lights on a dimmer switch were installed in the ceiling. 一锅灯就变光开关被安装在天花板。
• The blue paint was replaced (after double washing of the walls with TSP for the smoke / nicotine) with an earthy green to complement the forest view our the windows. 蓝色油漆被取代（后双清洗墙壁与移交被判刑人士为吸烟/尼古丁）与一土绿色，以配合森林检视我们的Windows 。
• The blue carpet was replaced with hardwood. Again, we thank Sam, our hardwood flooring salesperson, for recommending we stick with the Jatoba Espresso hardwood. 蓝地毯取代硬木。我们再次感谢心，我们的硬木地板，营业员，建议我们坚持与jatoba咖啡硬木。 We think it complements the wall color, the trees of the forest out back as well as the color of our kitchen counter of which a sneak peak can be seen to the right in the picture (more on the kitchen in further posts). 我们认为，它补充了墙的颜色，树木的森林Out回到以及颜色，我们的厨房柜台，其中一偷渡高峰期可以看出，以权中的图片（更多的厨房在进一步员额） 。

Also: 也：

• We had the part of the fireplace above the mantle covered with fire-retardant drywall so it no longer is the focal point of the room; the focal point becomes the forest out the windows. 我们有部分的壁炉上方的衣钵，所涵盖的阻燃drywall ，所以不再是重点，房间内;联络点，成为森林出来的Windows 。
• The window coverings were replaced with a pull down see-through fabric shade. 窗口覆盖被代之以一个下拉见-通过织物的阴凉处。 We chose this to keep the sun’s rays from directly hitting the hardwood (and in time fading the dark brown stain) yet allow us to still see outside. 我们选择了这把太阳的射线直接击中硬木（和衰落的时间在黑暗中褐变） ，但让我们仍然看到外面。 Our dog likes to perch herself on top of the back of the chair on the left of the second ‘after’ picture below and view her ‘estate’, even when the pull down blind is covering the window. 我们的狗喜欢鲈鱼自己再加上后面的主席对左侧的第二个'后 ' 下面的图片，并检视她的'地产' ，甚至当拉下失明是涵盖窗口。

Color selection and coordination is critical in any renovation. 颜色选择和协调是至关重要的任何装修。 It’s the end product that you have to live with for a long time. 它的最终产品，你的生活相当长的时间。
