What should we do with this kitchen space? Laundry? Baking? Storage?
Comments (5)As an update, after spending some time with this over the holidays, we aren't really feeling the various iterations that would allow laundry--it seems like we'd really have to take out the lower lefthand window entirely to make that work and even then the flow wouldn't be ideal. The most viable spot seems to be where the coats and broom closet are if we move the door, so we'll keep that as a future option. That lands us with storage and a baking counter along the lower lefthand wall. (This is what is already there, except right now it's on freestanding shelves and carts.) This leaves a couple of dilemmas: length and depth of baking counter. We have 24.5" of clearance for a counter in the corner before hitting the bottom window (and only 20" if we want to clear the window moulding too, which would probably look better and be simpler). This feels too shallow to be useful for rolling dough, etc., so I'm considering keeping counters 20" deep on the ends with the section under the window coming out to 28" or so. Second question is the length. The window opening is exactly 36", and with the moulding, it's 46" long. So if we stick with stock cabinetry (which I would like to do from a cost perspective) this could be a 21"/36"/21" split along this wall, or a 15"/48"/15" (both with a couple of inches of filler on each end). The first feels like more useful storage, but will it look strange to follow the window opening vs. the moulding? As far as utility, this will all be drawers below with two 18" open bookcases on either side of the window, and much of what will be stored here is moving out of an existing 32" drawer bank, so the 36" seems more than adequate. Two 24" drawer banks would also work. Thank you!...See MoreShould we do an accent wall?
Comments (5)I have a vaulted ceiling in my family room with a fireplace that goes to the ceiling. I painted both sides of the fireplace a different color (accent color if you will) then the other walls. I am sick of it, LOL. I think it makes the room look smaller than it is. We are repainting soon and will paint everything one color. As far as color itself, what color is your furniture?...See MoreWhat should we put to fill this space? Mirror? Tile?
Comments (8)I had imagined we would lean art on the ledge going across. There will be two black sconces installed (you can see the holes for them). The ledge across is kinda odd and I guess that’s what we’re trying to solve for - to make it look more deliberate, since there is no longer a pass thru. Is there a play to hang art in FRONT of the ledge as well as some leaving? To create some dimension and kinda cover the ledge?...See MoreWhat should I do with this wall to the left of the mirror?
