I live in an urban area and that's not a popular look around here, but it makes me feel like I'm back home for sure.A lot of those pictures are not red cedar though. red cedar tends to be pretty consistent in color.

Usually an architect only draws the plans but an interior designer will choose paint colors, tile, cabinet finish, etc.  

My mother is also a certified interior decorator so she is going to help me as far as colors and interior goes.

And if I did decide to keep the current tile floors, what color/type of cabinets and countertops would match?

Color ideas appreciated!

Wow, there's a line and in my opinion, they've crossed it...We photoshop all of our listing pics, but only to enhance the colors, the brightness and the sharpness of the images, not to distort reality.While there's probably nothing illegal about what they did (though maybe), it just seems very, very wrong...if nothing else, it violates the, "everything in this listing is true to my knowledge" ideal...

I actually use direct buy for my renos.it allows me to spend the price of an economic version, but receive a upper/middle end product of whatever I'm buying.The big savings i've noticed is for flooring (carpet/tile/hardwood/laminate), cabinets, and counters.Yes, you can likely pick up some of this cheaper from ReHab stores of Habitat For Humanity or garage sales, but this allows me to pick exactly what I want for colors and style.

Prices rose a lot in the time between when the offer was accepted and when the seller wanted to close.After closure, I had 2 workers work on the place for much of 2 months to get it into its current shape. 

Never use yellow for the type color.

The greater the number of moving parts, the more work you need to do to ensure everyone on your team is on the up-and-up.Obviously, I love TK, but that doesn't mean that it's all roses.
