Odd nook in hallway
Comments (12)I love old house archeology - figuring out what once was. It wasn't until I started taking apart my house that I really figured out what had been done to it - removing old kitchen flooring and cabinets and removing layers of paint and wall paper you start to see where the doors once were, where the original pine cupboards had hung (long gone before my time). I even could see the outlines of where the old crank wall telephone had hung and where a five foot kitchen sink with the rounded back splash had hung - the original paint color on the wall was a beautiful rich green and then they put in sink etc. so that subsequent paint jobs (brown, tan, etc.) didnt cover the original wall color....See MoreNeed help with new color for kitchen & nook.

Comments (0)I'm in desperate need of paint color advice for my walls. My kitchen cabinets are a medium oak color, kind of orange in pics. I'm trying to transition my walls to grey/greige colors, but can't find a true grey. They all look blue or a little too dark for the nook & hallway. I'm trying to stay away from blues. Any suggestions? Hope this helps. I'm open to anything at this point. The color sample in first pic (above white pantry door) is SW Sea Salt. Second pic has samples of SW Pavestone (top left dark one, & bottom right inside), SW Pussywillow (bottom left & inside top right) and bottom right is Mindful Grey. Third pic is just the hallway.

Comments (11)Put an upholstered banquette or bench/settee with the back against the peninsula. Get a single run setteee if you don't want to block the tall window (or a corner banquette) if you don't mind the overlap. With a narrower table (32 to 36" minus overhang) you should have enough clearance to fit chairs on the other side, with seating for six. There are upholstered ones (like from Ballard) that are not too uncomfortable and will protect the walls, windows and cabinets....See MoreHelp! Need help with Kitchen design...and awkward nook!
Comments (13)removing windows and putting in a door is easier than vice versa. remove the brick, frame out the area for the door, install. if you want to bring up the floor level,(what do you plan on doing w/the fireplace? you would have to redo it and the book cases) for the new floor, they would have to lay joists, sub floor, and flooring to even it out to the other. At this point I would advise you to replace all of that white tile and do the same flooring throughout the first level. can you match the wood you have in the other room? .Oh, demo of all that tile? 1-2 K (can't see how much you have) remove a window and install french doors, about 2-4K. building a banquette? have no idea. 1-2K? new table, custom made cushions, etc. I don't mind the sunken part. I'd do the french doors and close off that other door by the nook. would be cool if you could extend that whole side of the house further out another 6-10 feet. I'd rather do that than raise the floor level. i'd also widen your stair area leading down. on the living side, you could do something like this w/stair sides (little built ins) install a cool beam above it: or move the stairs to one side If you replaced your windows w/doors, you could do one large sofa, and place the two chairs as you come down the stairs. (that's why it might be nice to move the stairs off to one side, gives you a bit more space. or try this layout. you may have enough room to walk behind the other sofa in front of the doors. (if you could bump out that wall another 6' or so, it would be perfect!...See MoreJT7abcz
