odd dining room arrangement ��" light suggestions?
Comments (3)We had a small dinette area off our kitchen that we preferred to use as a little sitting area. There was a chandelier centered in this small dinette area. We did not really care for the way the chandelier hung down over that sitting area but wanted to leave a fixture there in case we later opted to use it as a dinette again. We ended up using a semi flush light fixture. It hangs down a little bit but you can easily walk under it. If you used something like that it would provide light above your table when you would move it out into the room. There are many options out there if you just search for "semi flush". Here are a couple that I found:...See MoreIsland pendants � need help choosing, please
Comments (11)Badgergal, your Otto pendants are beautiful and look so great with your tile BS. I noticed the height difference in your reveal post -- looks good. Pricklypear, I've debated the curvy track a lot. This island lighting issue is going to give me an ulcer, lol. Amanda, thanks, I like both Tech pendants too. When you say I should pay for more holes, do you mean I should use those pendants without a track? GWlolo, believe me, I have been shopping around a lot for track systems. Because of our vaulted ceiling, which is 10' high above the island, I need a system that has 2' rigid supports as an option. That seems to eliminate most companies. We were originally going with a Bruck system with their Rome pendant, but my designer did not like their cable supports and how many would be required. (Plus, the cost was not any lower.) Hosenemesis, I'm glad to hear you like the Dervish too. I think 3 of them would be too much for an 8' island. Just to clarify, I am trying to decide between using 3 smaller pendants, like the 5" diameter Tech pendants, or 2 larger (15" or 22" diameter) pendants, like the Dervish. I welcome more comments on which option is better for an 8' x 4.5' island. TIA!...See More2LittleFishies Yellow Kitchen Reveal- Part DEUX!!!
Comments (163)I love this kitchen!! I love the character and the timelessness with so many of today's great features that we all want. I have been planning a kitchen remodel for what feels like 2 years now and my layout is very similar with the exception to the amount of space you have to the left of your double wall ovens. Thank you for all the detailed pictures as this validates a lot of my current layout choices, especially the corner of your sink wall / cooking wall where I've been back and forth 100 times and where your double ovens are located!!...See Morehelp with kitchen layout needed, part 2
Comments (6)I prefer the galley layout. It seems less cramped and like it would be better for traffic flow. There are a few options for outlets in the island: on the island front, hidden behind a door that looks like a drawer (although then you lose possible drawer space): This one is next to a drawer behind the same drawer front: Plugmold under the counter top: Inside a cabinet: And those pop ups called Mockets (see some pictures in the thread linked below.) I think the big sink sounds great. I have a double and often think it would be nice to have a large single, but then again there are times when I hand wash in one side and use the other side for something else (like emptying pasta water or whatever.) I would love something like this with an integrated cutting board (and this just happens to have a deep window sill behind it, per your other question): [Contemporary Kitchen[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/contemporary-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2103) Deep window sills: on Houzz.com search "deep window sill behind sink" and you'll find some inspiration pictures.
