That's really beautiful! I love how the hostas are reflected in the water. The hosta that catches my eye the most is that giant blue one on the upper left. This post was edited by flower-frenzy on Fri, Jul 12, 13 at 11:41

Thank you everyone for the really nice comments. Glad I checked back in..I'll try and answer some questions if anyone is still out there :) JoJoDIY Thanks for your comments! we are happy with the quality of cliq. I will admit that I have a wicked 'talent' for picking out imperfections and found a few with the cabs. Cliq was excellent, however, in standing behind them and making things right. For the price we paid I was willing to make peace with the little imperfections. Overall they look and function great. My feeling is if you have the money AND you're a perfectionist, you will probably want more custom cabs. If you're looking for bang for the buck, Cliq is a good option. lyn2006..thanks for the kind words! the height of our cabs is 36" with a 6" crown. Cliq didn't offer a crown that I was in love with so I worked with the designer to come up with the look you see...it is a combination of both the base/toe-kick moulding (placed upside down) with the curved crown on top. (My husband/installer was just thrilled with that decision ;) I'll try and take a closeup for you to see. The grout color was a light gray. We did work in a trash/recycling cabinet next to sink and I love it. The dark counters are great to work on..happy I went with the brushed/leathered finish as it hides everything. I'll try and take some pics of the corner cabs for you. marti8a..we didn't lose any space by expanding the kitchen. We did however take down the wall that divided the kitchen from our living room and did a 4 ft addition out the front of our house. This provided the room we needed to include a dining area and proper traffic space.

Glad I could be of help. What is it they say? Something like take a good deed and pass it on? Anj helped me learn to post pics when I first started chatting with her on here, then we learned a few more tricks like that one by trial and error. To align them at the left is just one more step. After you have done your right click and "paste" in your message--just go to the top of what posted for the pics and delete the first word which is center along with the symbols. That's all there is to it! Love that you are sharing pics with us now too. ;o) Luvs

Thank you Nanny and anele. Anele, the panels are a soft fabric about 50" each and drape very nicely. I have about 8-10" between the windows if I want the frames to be hidden so the panels would be 4-5 folds as they are on grommets. The rod curves and attaches to the wall creating about a 4" space at a 90 degree angle from the main rod. I think that is enough space. The ceilings in the foyer are 11' but only 8' in the DR so I thought the vertical stripe in the fabric and the narrower vertical panels would add height on the window wall. ETA: I have had a few people suggest that the color scheme looks very 80s dusty rose. Is that what others see too? I don't see it but that doesn't mean it isn't there.
