May I see pictures of your custom dishwasher panel please?

13 years ago

Google images shows a lot of the same pics, usually from the manufacturers. I would like to see your custom paneled dishwasher. I'm going to be making my final decision soon on which brand and model to buy. I know I will also need to decide how I want the panel to look, full panel, single door/drawer, 2 door, 1 drawer 2 doors, 3 drawer.

Thank you!!!

We did the look of a door with a drawer above. The door part looks so big, I'm not sure I like it, but I prefer it to a full panel, and with it next to other drawer banks, I think this works, balance-wise.

We have 2 dishwashers, one to each side of the sink:

This photo is from a low angle--you don't normally see the gap on the top (and you wouldn't normally notice that the matching toekick hasn't been installed yet). This also predated having the adjustments made so the tops line up so consider it a cautionary photo--make sure your installer gets them things lined up!

Basic curtains are dead easy to make, particularly if you use curtain tape (stitch it on and then pull up any gathers). Shaped toppers - particularly when lined - are a bit trickier, and you need a machine that's comfortable going through multiple thicknesses of upholstery material, which is often quite heavy. Main thing to remember with long drapes is to get the grain straight! Use a carpenter's square if necessary (or, if you don't have one, a sheet of newspaper or magazine is usually pretty guaranteeable 90 degrees at the corner). And, in fact, one of the quickest ways to ensure it being dead true to grain is to TEAR the long side instead of cutting it - it will follow the exact grain and once it's turned and stitched nobody will ever be the wiser to the fuzzy edge. Also, as with all sewing projects, press, press, press and (if the fabric allows) steam, steam, steam. Here are some simple toppers I made for my old dining rooom, but plan to re-use in the new kitchen - fortunately I made an extra one which I didn't use, so I can have two toppers in the kitchen and then use the long curtain I made for the old dining room in the new dining room too! By the way, has anybody seen that curtain rail anywhere? I bought it about 3 years ago at Joann fabrics - they do the exact same one in BLACK still, but my local Joann's doesn't have it in the nickel. Ideallly, I need one more, so if anybody has seen it someplace, please let me know (so's not to Shanghai this thread, perhaps best to email me via GW - click on my profile. Tx!)

May I please see your closet? (clothing)
Q

Sheesharee, my DH and I are just getting ready to finish the built-in storage in our two closets, which are about the same dimensions as yours. We are doing L-shaped storage, that is, along two walls, so there's enough room to comfortably stand/dress in there. We're doing built-in stacks of shoe/sweater shelves, with double hanging bars on one wall and singles on the other. The empty wall will have hooks for robes, belts, etc. Each closet will also have a rolling laundry hamper we can easily roll down the hall to the washer/dryer area. I carefully planned it all out depending on the measurements of what we each need to store. It will probably end up costing us about $250 in materials by the time we're done. I'll try to post some photos once the main component are installed, and then later (hopefully by next weekend!) when it's all painted and has clothes in it :) We have been living out of piles and remote closets and basement boxes for over a year now since we had to gut this part of the house due to a mold problem and bathroom renovation. It's been so frustrating not knowing where stuff is. I am sooooooooooo looking forward to having nice, organized closets!

Do you like or hate your 4-foot-wide island? Can I see a picture?
Q
Comments (46)
My island is 9' X 5' all counter height I love it. Sorry, I do not know how to post photos. But others' photos give you the picture. I have seating on one 9' side, and the sink on the other. I have plenty of walk space all around and it is open to the family room. The TV is visible from the sink. It is the hub of my home. The disposal switch is inside the sink cabinet. Yes, the kids tend to throw everything on the island and it is the landing spot for groceries, so I have to be diligent about making sure it stays tidy. It is a gorgeous showstopper so I wouldn't change a thing.

May I see your favorite room in the house? Thanks
Q
Comments (73)
My favorite is our dining room. It is half of our two story great room living/kitchen/dining room. I like that the room is big enough for a large table, and since it is shared with the living room i can always rearrange furniture to accomodate everyone at the dining table if needed. Big windows let in tons of natural light and we have enjoyed watching deer pass by as we have supper. It is the natural gathering place as soon as guests come in the door and they feel welcomed right away, rather than a little formal foyer that everyone gets stuck standing in. It is a new build, and I am still in the process of decorating and getting furniture, so be kind- i know I have 3 different kinds of chairs at the table right now; and that the yard and driveway are not done yet. :)

I didn't think about this decision too much. I just chose a simple panel. The drawers are intriguing. We have an Asko dishwasher. I have been pleased with its performance and space. So, even though the drawers seem like a great idea, I haven't had the feeling that I missed out on putting them in.

The colors in this photo are a little off and it's too dark, but you can get an idea of this Plain & Fancy brand DW cherry panel.

We made ours -- for a Bosch Integra dw -- out of two leftover cabinet doors (inset shaker with center stiles). I wanted a long pull-type handle to hang the dishtowel from, and it's been great.

A not really fab picture, the dishwasher door is not closed completely so it looks off-kilter, but best I could find:

I'm the one who bought the former kitchen display. My dishwasher will be flanked by a 24" 3 drawer bank on the left and the sink cabinet on the right. I will have a curtain instead of doors under the apron sink. At this point I don't know if I have any preference looks wise. That why I wanted to see the real life combos. Thank you so much for posting your pictures. They are a great help. Just seeing the stand alone dishwasher pictures on google doesn't show me how it will look in relation to other cabinets.

If I go with the 1 drawer and 2 door combo, I'll just need to buy 1 drawer face. I had a 24" cabinet with this combo, but I used the drawer in my oven cabinet. If I go with the other combos, I have to buy them. I can make my final decision later on in the process, but I'm trying to work up my budget now.

The DW is the drawer/door base.

Mine are panels only; one on each side of sink. I am also missing toekicks.

To the right of the sink:

To the left of the sink is the trash pullout and a real drawer.
I fabricated the fronts myself to integrate the drawer detail.
