Plans for your tree(s) this year?
Comments (6)Sounds like you have a plan. Since I decorate EVERYTHING in my house including over 7 trees that are 6' or taller and several more that are over 5', I start Black Friday (which is red & green Friday for me, LOL) and it takes all that weekend and then my Mom comes over on Monday to help with the 9' tree. I have the outside of the house ready to turn on lights Thanksgiving night, except the front porch is still Thanksgiving, so right now I have a schizophrenic house, LOL. I highly recommend the pencil tree for bang for the buck! It is tall enough, but takes up very little floor space. A live tree would be fun and smell so good, but I have them up for over a month, so live trees aren't an option for me. Your little basket tree was darling! Tinsel is so pretty, but very time consuming! Unless you use the toss method, LOL. Have fun planning and purchasing! TFS, Candy...See MoreCloset organizer help!
Comments (4)We like our current wall-hung Elfa system, as opposed to those with individual brackets under each shelf, because of its infinite flexibility. We have some shelving where we've split the shelf along its horizontal distance, creating a space for taller items, or hanging space, on one side and shorter on the other. The new house will have that same wall-hung/track system everywhere. We're doing away with dressers and will use the pullout baskets for folded clothing. One problem for us is the cost. And that's really the only thing that will force us to deviate from that system everywhere. So, in some areas we'll use wood shelving that DH makes and installs. Sometimes these systems aren't the best solution for pantries or for books. I haven't seen really shallow shelving like you might want in a pantry that fits on the track hanging system. And wire doesn't provide a stable surface for books and a few other things. So, you can think of each item and consider if the dimensions, spacing configurations, and surface is suitable for it....See MorePaging Sochi - Did you use the pivot doors on your master closet?
Comments (5)Technicolor, that is a great idea to add space if you have a standard size opening. I may do that in another room. Our master bedroom has an 18' wide opening for the closet, so we need a way to hang multiple doors without a frame. Sochi, I would love to see pictures of the whole wall, as well as the hardware. I was planning on using wood veneer doors (rift cut white oak stained gray to tie in with gray tones used elsewhere, or maybe walnut to match the vanity), but using standard slab doors painted an accent color (a shade of grayish blue, likely) probably would be faster and cheaper to order. (Most of the walls in the house are painted Dunn Edwards Fossil - an off-white with a slightly cool, taupish-gray undertone, with a couple of accent walls in shades of blue.) What size are your doors? If I get rid of the custom built-in "armoire" in the center, I could use 3 pairs of 36" doors to span the space, with less expensive drawers, shelves etc. behind the doors. If I keep the 4' center section, I have 84" openings on each side. I could do each side with a single pair of 42" wide doors (or 40" doors if I use 2" thick vertical "columns" at each end like in the kitchen). I could also use four 20-21" wide doors for each opening, which might look nicer, but will cost a lot more to buy twice as many pivot hinges plus the contractor's time to install the extra hinges. We do have enough floor space to open wider doors, so it is just an aesthetic and cost based decision. What do you think would look better?...See MoreWhat’s your favorite thing about your kitchen?
Comments (33)I love the functional things that we changed in our "refresh" last year: a large single-bowl sink, wipeable tile backsplash, replacing light-sucking black appliances with light-reflective stainless, converting base cabinets to drawer bases with soft close slides, adding a light-reflective quartz countertop on the sink side & a warm cherry butcherblock countertop by the range, and replacing upper cabinets with open shelving for everyday dishes, Our kitchen had an existing seating area with built-in banquette, which we (and our cats) love, and use daily....See Moreallison0704
