Take the furniture out, rip the front door and frame out, make the opening bigger, install overhead door, park "the 2" in there!!

P/S I'm not crazy about the color either! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

'Twas the night before Christmas--Old Santa was pissed.
He cussed out the elves and threw down his list.
Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks.
I have a good mind to scrap the whole works!

I've busted my ass for damn near a year,
Instead of "Thanks Santa"--what do I hear?
The old lady bitches cause I work late at night.
The elves want more money--The reindeer all fight.

Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.
Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.
And just when I thought that things would get better
Those *******s from the IRS sent me a letter,
They say I owe taxes--if that ain't damn funny
Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money?

And the kids these days--they all are the pits
They want the impossible--Those mean little ****s
I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds
Assembling dolls...Their arms, legs and heads
I made a ton of yo yo's--No request for them,
They want computers and robots...they think - I'm IBM!

Flying through the air...dodging the trees
Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees
I'm quitting this job there's just no enjoyment
I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment.

There's no Christmas this year now you know the reason,
I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

ROFLMAO

now help rewrite the one about the angle

yup, that is all

[h2co-pilot]

Yes! Thank you ladies!!!!

I think I'll paint it a rich taupe and at pictures. I have been eyeing a bench at this cute little antique shop that would work well. That plant did look good, I had it there for a while but it was one of Kenny's fake bachelor plants and it bothers me. Maybe a tall (real)Ficus.

Once I do the living room across from it I can figure a way to tie everything in.

I have wondered if anyone can add wood to the top of the existing railing- and maybe paint the little circle balck instead of that gold. The Jabronies that lived here before had terrible taste, thank goodness they didn't do much decorating.

Thanks again, it has really been bothering and Kenny and my liberal mother couldn't give me anything to work with. I'll post updates next Sunday.

Nah, they just put their money somewhere other than their truck, James.

Guess where my christmas tree is going this year? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It was teh night before christmas and Santa was having real bad day, he had sent the angle out hours earlier to get a tree, the Elfs were on strike, Rudolf had a runny nose, Mrs Claus had burnt the cookies, and he just burnt his hand on the cookie sheet, then the angle walk in to the house dragging the christmas tree and says "YO FAT MAN, WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO STICK THE TREE THIS YEAR"
so now you all nknow the story </div></BLOCKQUOTE>That didn't rhyme at all. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Sorry, that wasn't the intent, I will try to work on that. Just attempting to determine the origins of how the angle got on top of the chrismass tree.

Ok CP, my take on the foyer.

The yellow is too bright. But good initial choice....are the stair walls a light beige or white? In the first pic, they appear to be a light beige. That looks GOOD.

In going with Paragon's take and FLW, I would stick to a grey base on things. You have a pink undertone on your carpet and tile, and need to get away from that. The stair walls I would choose a grey-based beige if they're relaly white, then for the foyer, a grey-based sage green. Same shade as your yellow tho - you need something soft, not too dark. I think the contrast would work nicely with the dark railing, which I would leave black.

As for the furniture - take it all out. It's very underscaled for the large space (heightwise at least). I would put a round table in there, maybe 3-4' diameter, same dark wood that you have now. On top of that a LARGE scale floral arrangement, taking in a lot of the colors in the rug. I'm talking 4' tall +. Lots of natural branches and the like, make the thing huge. And have that as the only thing in the space.

You might even move the rug over to that space and put the table on top of it.

I don't have a foyer (1750 SF house), so I can't post pics of ideas, but I do have a degree in interior design, so hopefully that will win me some brownie points.

Well, come on Frank!

(You can't put a bag on your head the whole time.) I'll tell my bitch to call you. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Just tell me when, this week is bad for me and the beginning of next week is as well. Maybe the end of next week?

Hey Paragon,

Would you sell me some of your Tits and Ass custom wood furniture?

I love Frank Lloyd Wright. I am just having trouble with my love for traditional furniture and these contemporary spaces I guess. Thanks for the positivity P.

[h2co-pilot]

Good call on the mantle them GM. That is another project.

The problem with that railing is it is all one piece. - all the way up into the hall to the wall.

[PARAGON]

The railing is perfect. In response to PartsGuys comment about the drop, it has to due to the way the top of the walls are handled.

One must look at the space with a contemporary eye and I really like the Frank Lloyd Wrightish feel of the railing.

I like where you were going and don't really mind the color but would prefer it to be broken up with some texture like washing some off-white over the yellow or "leathering" the yellow with the off-white to blend.

Personally, I think you were on the right track with doing something stark with that space. Maybe you just aren't done yet.

[PARAGON]

Ok, Heidi is pretty much on with Stacy. Her thought was maybe leave the yellow and go back over with some rust or red texture on the yellow to break it up a little.

After getting a table in the middle, there might be room/need for tall greenery where the mirror is now. Otherwise, as Stacy said, get rid of all that's there.

[JamesT]

Ya'll are rich!!!!!!

[NoMoGMPG]

I agree about the railing, it looks so....community courthouse-ish. Needs a good maple or cherry wood bullnosed bannister. And put something tall, leafy and green there too, it is so stark with that yellowish tint in the foreground and bright white behind.

I'm done swishing, do what you want.

Whatever, who is going to be home...changing and feeding and cleaning....

Are you going to still get up at night? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


My wife is going to be home all the time for now, I hate to leave. I am going to miss them so much. Lucky for me I work close to home! Yes, I am getting up at night - when there is a bottle...but that is not often - we are doing the natural thing.

You see, a tree has more circumference at the bottom and then tapers towards the top, giving it that angle.

[h2co-pilot]

Those are sweet.

[VTSTOMPER]

wow, I think it looks great!

I am going back to work tomorrow after a 2 week vacation. Kinda bummed.
