should kitchen cabinet door style match interior doors?
Comments (4)Its absolutely fine to go with a different door style. A real colonial/early american 19th c. house often has different doorstyles throughout anyway, ranked on whether the room was "public" or "private", first floor or upper floors, or even by importance in the same room....See MoreOpen concept basement with a lot of closet and interior doors.
Comments (11)I know what you saying ladies, it's always good to have an extra opening. I guess the way they looking at it if you awake, you can hear the smoke alarm and have enough time to escape simply put... If you sleeping you might not hear the alarm, and by the time you hear it and wake up, it could be too late, so each sleeping room must have an additional escape route or rescue entry point so the fireman can climb in and out wearing full gear. I can see in NY this being enforced more because most houses are attached and even single family homes are semi-attached or separated by the driveway... not to mention they make any hole in the wall habitable because they rent them for 1k a month... You see basements with a stove next to a bed and table and a clothes hanger and they get 1000- 1500 a month....See MoreNew wood floors... dilema is old oak doors...
Comments (11)On first thought: as little grain as possible, or loud contrast I suppose, cause your doors have much grain I am thinking-- in them. And choose a tile that compliments them, and save repainting. You can sand and revarnish them, also? But anyways, I found this brand. I would love 3 of them, depends on the colors and the door stain/other decor, in your home: Adura Calypso Mist, Seasiders, or Graphite Charcoal Flax, last one, because it catches the cool and the warm equally in a home I expect..Corsica could be nice if your home is generally light and again, depends on your wood stains and painted walls and decor colors...Which one works, if any of them? https://tmcarpetandfloors.com/vinyl/mannington-luxury-vinyl/ Canadian Maple is a great color, but the contrast may just be too busy with your doors, or it may be just the right tones? The other 3 or 4 may be better tho?...See Morea code issue? cat door thru interior wall to basement stairs
Comments (25)You could put it in the wall (under the blue electrical box} on the first step or in the door. All the homes I know or lived in the basement door opens to the first step down. . The height will be close to the same what ever way you go. . If a cat is able to walk up and down steps then their will be no problem for the cat to get through the cat hole. We always had the cat hole in the door, we didn't have a wall next to the steps that would look good with a hole in it. Not a bad idea putting it in the laundry room like you show it. Our cat holes were shaped in a cat's head....See Morekngwd
