Please help! Need advice on Kitchen design!
Comments (22)The 14’ is kitchen only. The counter that is there with the curtain is temporary. It will be removed and I have a pantry that matches the cabinets that will go there. The pantry goes all the way to the ceiling The fridge is a moved from the wall to hang sheet rock. My husband plans to put a cabinet around it and I have another cabinet/coffee bar that will go to the left of the fridge. I guess I should have waited to post the pictures when that was all in place. The door to the right of the fridge lead to a walk-in pantry. We are changing that door to a sliding barn door. My husband is an experienced DIY’er and can make the tops to the cabinets as you all are describing....See MoreHi, In need of some kitchen layout advice please
Comments (2)Hi Georgina - According to your mobile screen shot, I'm guessing you're in the UK. There are lots of terrific people on here willing to give of their free time and expertise. That said, you'll get the best advice and more advice if you: 1. Convert your measurements to feet/inches, and 2. Post photos of your existing space I'd never heard of an orangery before. I had to Google it. How very British! :-)...See MoreHelp please...Need advice on Kitchen deco after water damage
Comments (14)Hi HU- I don't know anything about refinishing granite to give it a totally different appearance. The person to ask about everything countertops is Joseph Corlett, LLC here on Houzz. Why not invite him onto this thread? I personally don't like that speckly type of granite, it reminds me of "work" because it is present in so many office buildings. But if you like your granite, keep it. It's your house! And it's a fortune of money to replace it, besides! If you were going to replace it anyway, you could think about using a stone with swirls or some sort of movement, but one that is lighter overall. Or go the other way, and use a very dark counter such as a soapstone, or a soapstone look-alike (and you could decide how much veining you want) and paint the walls a very very light gray in the kitchen. (Soapstone even comes in green!) Or you could even think about Corian. Which now comes in a dazzling array of colors and a very affordable price point. Joe is a Pro, and really sings the praises of Corian which is versatile and lasts forever and can be repaired in ways natural stone can't. As for the flooring, I would have the kitchen match the rest of your house. What you already have down looks just perfect. If you are really wanting to spend money on something, I would eliminate the space at the top of your upper cabinets. Either make simple cabinets for things like trays, etc. or put up a crown molding to the ceiling. The space looks odd and is a huge dust catcher. I would not paint the island, the wood is too perfect. You can add color to the kitchen with a floor mat, dishcloths, accessories, etc....See MoreI need advice on choosing my kitchen flooring please?
Comments (2)A lot of it depends on the style and colors of the home. So if you can, post some pics of the spaces. Tile is fine for the kitchen. As is hardwood. But if your nervous and choose to go with a tile. There are so many options that can work nicely with wood. Again, depends on the style of the space. I always love a checkerboard pattern tile. It’s clean. And matches most everything....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
