Your thoughts on bumping out the hutch cabinet please
Comments (2)I like the idea of bumping it out a little and making it look like furniture. It's not like you have to protect that view of the dishwasher, so it could end up working nicely on both fronts. The only things to think about are the practical considerations. Don't bump out too far of you'll impede the dw and not be able to stand at the hutch and empty the dw into it, whch is I think what you'd likely want to do. And ensure that there's enough clearance in the aisle way between the hutch and island / work table. It looks a bit tight in the picture but I think it's probably just the camera angle....See Morepull-out upper corner cabinet -- check it out
Comments (10)Yea, it seems neat until you have to deal with it. I have one like that in a base. It is incredibly heavy and stuff falls off or gets wedged in (so I have to force the thing open) all the time. I cannot wait for the destruction to begin so I can see what's back there--5 year old baking soda, saffron, who knows? Maybe if you did this with a wire pull out it would be easier....See MoreIs your farmhouse sink base cabinet 'bumped out' ?
Comments (8)Hops, thanks for responding! I really like your sink and other elements in your kitchen! I'm glad you shared the photos with me. I do like how the bump out looks, and the pretty feet too! Anybody else willing to comment or share your photos about the bump out? I'd like to see photos of famhouse sinks without the bump out too. Thanks, Terry...See Morebumped out rangetop - bump out hood?
Comments (5)Pardon the massiveness (yes I made up that word) :oP of this silly hood but it had to cover a big range: I believe we're 34" off the surface, but since it's just recently been all set up, I'll go ahead and do a measurement for sure and post it this evening. We spent a lot of time on the phone with vent a hood when we had this rebuilt (we ordered a standard 1200 cfm and then took the guts out of the box and had the box rebuilt by a local stainless steel fabricator). We made sure that the power was going to be sufficient and wanted to increase capture space front to back as well as side to side. We couldn't go with a standard US measurement on a hood due to space issues and conversion from the french range size. It's mounted to both the wall and hung from heavy chains wrapped around the beams in the ceiling. Three heavy guys did pull ups from it :) It's not coming down. It was a chore though to see it hung well. It vents out the back through a wall, but it was far too heavy even in it's metal stage to use that as the only support. Then once we applied the marine plywood, plaster, trim and granite detail..well she's a heavy girl :) One thing I did (I hope it shows here...if not I'll take another photo) is to bump out the counter to meet the front of the stove. I did that to avoid the obvious "hip meets square edge" of the stove, and it also serves to keep you from losing an eye on the hood if you're tall enough :) Actually here's a pic that shows the bump out better. It flows so well this way:...See Morejakuvall
