Comments (1)In our area there is a lot of cleaning in post-foreclosure homes. Repossessers and restorers and resellers and the like have to renew the insides for renting and or resale. I haven't seen a once-a-week-in-the-home cleaning person advertising in our older neighborhood since perhaps November....See MoreHouzz incorporated kitchen design...feedback please!
Comments (19)I love Benjesbride's layout and thought the same thing as Buehl, turn the closet in the flex room into a doorway. BUT, opening the kitchen to the dining room could be really expensive because that wall could be load bearing. And then to cut an additional doorway into it for an entrance from the flex room to the LR could be problematic. In addition to construction costs (think steel I-beam or LVL), you would probably need to hire an engineer. Something you would have to look into before progressing further with this plan. I don't really know what's involved in taking out a bearing wall but I know from this forum that's it's often a deal breaker for people here. Below is a link to a video that shows you how to do a little investigating yourself to determine which walls are load bearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaNxJmotIeI Buehl, you're right about the island vent over a peninsula cooktop. Personally, I like the cooktop and sink on the same run better but it does get the cooktop closer to the fridge and ovens. I think a range is the best compromise, though....See Morepainting oak cabinets?!
