Dufferin Street Consultation

Details

*For the runner you can check out Sarmazians in Guelph

*Also Dash And Albert have a nice selection of runners https://annieselke.com/c/runner-rugs they are sold everywhere, if you find one you love, you can do a google search to find the best price.

*If you paint the stairs all white I would leave the banister as is

*If you stain the stair treads to match the floor you can paint the spindles white

*For the fireplace mantel see the inspiration below, I would keep it simple and it could be done in all white or a combination of white and wood. I have also added some inspiration for cabinets beside the fireplace as well.

*Here is the link for the wood carpenter in the Ward for the mantel and wood top for the Ikea cabinets https://puravidawoodco.com/

*If you would like to get an idea of how much custom cabinets beside the fireplace would be I would recommend Mike Mooney http://mikemooneywoodcraft.ca/ he could also do the mantle.

Paint Colours- I highly recommend you get sample pots from Benjamin Moore and test them outside before painting

*Blue exterior paint colour options HC-161 Templeton Gray https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-colours/colour/hc-161/templeton-gray or CC-720 Night Train

https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-colours/colour/cc-720/night-train both are blue-gray tones

*For the porch floor either a mid-tone wood stain or paint it HC-86 Kingsport Gray https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-colours/colour/hc-86/kingsport-gray

*Front door either HC-133 Yorktown Green https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-colours/colour/hc-133/yorktowne-green HC-154 Hale Navy https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-colours/colour/hc-154/hale-navy

For your floors, I found this blog post that has good information https://nestingwithgrace.com/our-refinished-oak-floors-and-details/ on refinishing old oak floors and bleaching them to reduce the red tones. I think the two tones below would be a good inspiration for your floors they will still read light but be warm and work well with your kitchen cabinets.
