Rectangular tables : Pedestal Legs or Regular Legs?
Comments (4)Sorry about not coming back to this sooner. I had my terminology wrong! I meant a trestle table. This would be a large table - about 90" without leafs. I'm still trying to decide if I should go for the trestle style or legs in the four corners. I like different things about both styles....See MoreSymmetry in horizontal uppers--which do you prefer?
Comments (26)The problem / challenge I realized with the earlier layout with symmetric high uppers over sink is that actually it wasn't symmetric over the sink. There is a light right in front of the sink and then the notch would be off center of the light in the ceiling-- at this point I can't change the lighting. (horrible electrician experience, but that's another story). If we make the cabinet on the right wood over glass then it really wants to be wider. This then makes the notch narrower and throws off the geometry. Our other contender was to do a double-upper over the fridge and then put a regular vert in the corner which could be a blind corner if we want, like this: (I put some glass/steel above the sink--this might be an alternate color tile, or something else... or nothing...) DW prefers either an all wood or all glass cabinet over dish washer so we can put 2 shelves in it, as this will be for cups and mugs. She thinks it would look funny to have a shelf inside 1/3 of the way up the cabinet with a split wood/glass door. Also, she (and our architect) didn't really like the single vert cabinet in the corner of the run. Same views, single vert at end, with shiny stuff: Our architect says this view is misleading, in that your eyes will never just see the one wall. So the end of peninsula view is probably the most telling: The rendering is also probably misleading because we have been thinking of using obscure glass, which is not nearly as shiny as this shows. The app just doesn't have a good texture to simulate that. I think I like it better overall with the single vert at the end-- it's a bit less busy, a bit calmer? I would like it maybe a bit more with the single vert a bit wider and the double upper on the same wall a bit narrower, but I want to keep the single vert to be really close to the height of the wood cabinet to its left (now it's 1 inch wider). Between the corner and the double upper there is 3" filler, plenty to allow the door to swing up and not hit handles on the adjacent corner cabinet next to the range. I could maybe increase this another inch and reduce that cabinet by an inch and then make the vert 1 inch wider, but that's about it. Another option would be to make the vert door all glass--but then it would be the only one like that....See MoreMoving the W/D out of the foyer. Which do you prefer?
Comments (188)Autumn, originally the draftsman had the door on that side. i moved it so it was closer to the bathroom. The way you have it now means a longer walk to the bathroom and a wrong turn means falling down the stairs. :) Oaktown, I'm not following. Are you agreeing with me that the door should be where I have it or are you saying it should be facing the closet? Aec, the upstairs will be Hardie siding or Hardie shake and downstairs will be stucco. The way I have it, it will be fine moving the furniture in....See MoreWhich of these two kitchen layouts do you prefer?
Comments (42)"The only issue that we are unsure on, is what to do with the microwave and toaster oven in this layout. We use both a lot." Would your budget stretch to a MW drawer? If so, put it in the island at the end closest to the range. That leaves the drawers across from the DW and fridge free for dishes, silverware and possibly glassware. Or you could design a cubby for a small counter top MW in the pantry cabs, either behind doors or on an open shelf. The GE Spacemaker II MW is designed to fit in a standard upper cabinet so it would fit, no problem in your shallow pantry cabs. We use our toaster oven a lot, too. It was our only oven for 2 years after our oven died and couldn't be repaired (too old). We thought we'd get rid of it after the remodel but we decided to keep it. So glad we did! We designed a cubby for it. It works really well for us but we dud add an automatic fan behind it (like the ones used in stereo cabs to cool off components) to blow hot air out of the cubby and protect our cabinets. If I were to do it again, I probably would make the cubby height 18" not the 15" we did to help with air circulation. Here's mine: You could do something similar on your pantry wall. Here's another example: You could also place it on a pull-out shelf in your pantry. Here's an example of MW and toaster oven in a tall pantry cabinet. How large is your toaster oven? Our cubby is 19" deep with counter, which gives us room behind it and in front. We don't really need room behind it, per mfg specs, just room on each side of it and above. HTH!...See MoreFori
