$1000 for 11 X 14 bound carpeting ?
Comments (6)There is a big carpet warehouse here in Delaware that binds anything you want, in their store, for $2.00 per linear foot. Other than that, I can't tell you what it would cost to get the kind of carpet you are looking for. I would think you could find something pretty nice for $1,000 in that size though. I'm about to do the same thing in my BR. Taking out the wall to wall, putting down wood, then will need to add one large or three small rugs to walk on. I think it will cost the same whether I do the one large or the three small....See More11' x 14' Sunroom for $43K Reasonable?
Comments (17)Fooltergeist-- We just had a replacement sunroom estimate for a 11'6" x 10' gable roofed sunroom for $30,500. That is with the current $1000 "sale" savings. It would be a second story room, with a gable roof with access to our deck. The price includes removal and haul away of the old leaking, nasty sunroom, an additional carrying beam and piers next to the house (long roof overhang). The whole thing would be vinyl over extruded aluminum, including the roof, but the glass is low E, and the windows seem good. The warrantee --I am looking at the estimate as I type-- is 50 year transferrable manufacture's product, lifetime glass against breakage for defects. The price includes tax and installation, no wiring. We need to get rid of the current sunroom from the mid-seventies, because the glass has broken seals, it leaks and is moldy, the temp gets to be 120 in the summer, and one window has now shattered. And of course it is one seriously ugly seventies moon bubble. We are still undecided. The company that makes the components is called BetterLiving and is located in PA. I've included the link in case it would be helpful to compare products. Good luck with it!

Comments (42)When I had the master suite created in my DH's home up north, it was crowded for bedside tables too. So I got two wooden tall plant stands, with 12x12" tops. They fit perfectly fine. Then swing arm wall mounted lamps for each side of the bed. Enough room for a book on the shelf below and a glass of water or whatever. I never just use an end table when there is an option to have a small chest beside the table. That works even in a small room with limited storage space. Every item has to WORK to make the cut when space is scarce. And, in the bedroom in Alabama, I am going to be sorry to leave it for the BACK bedroom, which will become an ensuite master, because it is beginning to look SO comfortable. It is a west-facing bedroom, on the street. It has two PAIRS of windows, and the closet and entry to the bedroom are on a third wall. That leaves one wall which has no windows and no doors or other obstructions. However, I did not want the bed to be sideways in front of the entry door, so had to put the bed first diagonally in the corner between the two pairs of windows. This worked fine for a while, with the wicker chests I use for bedside tables centered between the windows. However, it was hard to make up the bed. So I decided to center the bed in front of the windows on the street wall. I closed the blinds to block the high heat coming through those windows anyway. And then I found some floor/ceiling grommet drapes at Tuesday Mornings! That is when I got DH to install crown molding wide enough to mount the double drapery rods, and I started planning 3 layers of curtains...grommet drapes wall to wall on both window walls, sheers on the second drapery rod, and finally the top-down roman shades using 90% shade cloth and Thermasuede fabric as a liner. I am almost done with the curtain project, but even with the shade cloth pinned in place on the west wall, the difference in heat gain is significant. This room is 12 x 12 give or take an inch. We changed out sliding closet doors for 2 pair of Jeldwen bifold shutter doors which I painted to match the crown molding and base boards and other wood work. The wicker chests are on either side of a full sized bed, with lots of breathing room. There is a rocking chair near the closet. There is a third chest between the closet and the door to the hall, and a wall mount TV is above the chest. So now I've ordered the Hudson queen size storage bed from Room and Board in cherry. It should arrive this month. I can hardly wait. It is a platform bed with no footboard, and no box springs, and it measures 60 x 80. A full bed is 54 x 75, so only a few significant inches of comfort which I look forward to having. But when the contractor finally comes, and bumps out the master bath for a tub and a long walk in closet, we'll be moving this new jewel to the back bedroom. This current bedroom will convert to a nice study/guest room. Only we seldom have over night guests, and may just put desks and bookcases in there until we move the contents of the up-north house. It seems to me that we have plenty of space in the 12 x 12 bedroom. Since we've repainted and made the room so peaceful, I will now take a horizontal break to meditate or read or chat on the phone. It looks good in natural or ambient light all times of day since northern exposures give true light, and the shade cloth gives a sense of separation from the street. Keeping active pursuits out of the bedroom is conducive to rest and separation from the cares of life....See MoreIs my kitchen too small for a wall oven/microwave combo?
Comments (19)I think your kitchen would look very crowded with an oven and microwave stack. The kitchen is small and the appliances are pretty big already. All the pictures you posted as of very big kitchens. If this were my kitchen, (I have a preference for wall ovens and microwaves), I would replace the OTR with a venthood and remove the cabinet on top of it. I would replace the two cabinets doors on either side of the range with glass door. You can use the existing door and add some glass or replace the doors completely. Replace the hardware on the cabinets You have a really good amount of counter top and I think some minimal changes will make the kitchen looks really fresh. I would get a range in this situation. Good luck!...See Moreideagirl2
