Replacing front door/original door picture
Comments (30)bungalowmo, I just ran across your question by accident. I'm sorry I didn't see it months ago. We do not need glass inserts because our winters in Georgia are not long or severe. Our porch is 10 feet deep, so rain doesn't get on the doors. Our old screen door and inner door were donated to our local Habitat for Humanity. The inner door had a nice oval glass window, but the door was warped and in bad condition. Maybe someone used it as a movie prop; who knows? LOL...See MoreKitchen-adjacent front door.
Comments (35)Okay, I'm finally awake enough to make sense of your issues. I don't have any experience with slush and all of that, but do know what wet, dirty boots are. I think your Franke boot tray with drain is a great idea! Maybe not with a faucet, per se, but a sprayer with a brush would be great, wouldn't it? As I see it, one of the big problems with the plan is having to kind of stoop down, into the cabinet, to clean the boots. You said there's access underneath...I wonder if you could install a flexible drain and have a whole pull out boot shower? I can also see having wire shelves above the pan for putting boots to dry, leaving the pan itself for the next person's muddy mess. They could double as shoe shelves for the Summer. Since there isn't room for furniture, perhaps you could turn a couple of studs, and have a jump seat that folds flush into the wall, and maybe a couple of niches for things like a boot jack. This is the brutalist house, right? Because my other thought is all wrong for that, but I was thinking a curved niche that didn't look so much like the blind cabinet could house a tiled fountain that was disguising the bootwash and be kind of cool. Maybe you could do a shallow fountain (modernist) set into the wall above the bootwash cupboard, that would also have an exterior drain where you could rinse hands, or whatever, that looks decorative, and otherwise recirculates. I'm thinking a fountain would also be useful in creating a transition space, with the sound of water covering street noise, and the ionization making the air fresher as you come in. The kind of thing a front garden usually does....See MoreGarage Door sizes- Two doors vs One wide
Comments (51)Depending on layout and available space, one may need to opt for one or other option. I remember always wanting a home with side entry garages but due to lack of space on the left, ended up building front entry snout garages in our home in NJ. Subsequently I initially designed our next home in PNW with side garages but so glad I did not entirely pursue that dream. Main two double garages with two 18' glass/aluminium doors will flank front left with an additional side entrance double garage with 40' of hard standing, for my hobbies etc. Coming home late in the evening on a dark rainy night in the PNW, the last thing one would want is try to negotiate a 90degree turn in a large suv; sure I would do it but probably drive my DW mad....See MoreShow me your small, full bathrooms (with toilet by the door?)
Comments (42)thank you, Karenseb! Lol, it's crazy what we go through to gain just a few spare inches in our bathrooms! Yes, I think I will take your and Nancyinmich's advice, and stick with the layout I have currently, by using the current vanity area as shelving/storage cabinet. And maybe change doorway opening. I'll add a single sink with side drawers on the opposite wall. Toilet will stay put, I'll look at that round Toto Drake. I think the widest vanity that I could put in there is 64"? The wall is 94" and I need 15 inches on either side of the wall and vanity. (measured from the center of the toilet - and for sake of planning I'll base this on measurements of the Toto Drake which is just shy of 20" wide)....See Morejen11k
