72 inch Shaker style vanity options
Comments (6)Thanks for the suggestions. The reason we are looking for one with no counter top is bc we are having to replace our kitchen countertops right now, and we had to buy 2 slabs. We have half a slab leftover. We had hoped to use the rest of the slab on this and a few other bathroom vanities that will need replacing in the future for the same reason. Since we paid for it, we love it, and it was expensive, we want to use it. I had thought about looking for a 12-inch storage unit, but wasn't even sure where to start. All of this came up rather suddenly and what I thought I had years to plan for is happening in the next two months. So I'm freaking out. A lot. There were 6 of us kids who shared one bathroom, and we made it too :). We really try to be realistic about how much is too much with our kids (though we lose sight and have to get back on track). We are also considering resale value in case we ever have to move, and planning for the fact that any of our parents could end up living with us. We are not chronic remodelers, so we want to get it as right as we can the first time. I'll check Ebay. I haven't looked there yet. Thanks....See More72- vs 69-inch Counter Depth Fridge
Comments (4)Most of us have been through this decision! It really isn't so much the outside measurements as it is the inside layout that will help determine if the fridge is a good fit for you. The different brands really are not laid out the same. I took measurements and some dishes that I normally use in m fridge to check them out.... I would have purchased a fridge that would not have worked well for me if I hadn't. The GE CD has very shallow and narrow veggie drawers and did not hold a stalk of celery. Some of the others do not have an adjustable shelf to make room for very tall items. The deli drawers on some are split, making them very small. There are some with ice in the door and some with ice in the fridge compartment. Your smart to go looking, but take a few items with you and be sure to take your own measurements....See More72 inch vanity won't fit with drywall
Comments (10)Alternatively - what is on the other side of the walls on either side of the vanity? And, are they either of them non- supporting walls with no plumbing running through them? If so, while it might be a PITA to do, you could have the 2x4s or 2x6s that frame one of the walls next to the vanity taken down, ripped to remove 1 inch, and then put back up again to gain that extra inch you need. A non-supporting wall doesn't HAVE to be framed with 2x4s or 2x6s. 2x3s or 2x5s will work fine - especially for an interior wall. Done right, once the sheetrock is put up, you'll never know that one wall is a tiny bit thinner than the other walls in your house. And, depending on how many studs would have to be removed and ripped - and how much electrical wiring needs to be removed and the replaced - is might not even be terribly expensive to do. Just do it BEFORE the sheetrock is put up on either side!...See MoreAnyone with a 72 inch window to share? Also Cali Wendy, question
Comments (13)My sill is just over 4" deep. Keep in mind that my house was built in the early 70's when 4" thick exterior walls were the norm. Now code is 6" thick so if my house was newer, my walls would be thicker and result in a deeper sill. I've been wanting to try a little herb pot or two, but I haven't been able to find any pots to work with my new kitchen's style. My kitchen garden with herbs is an easy jaunt outside now with my new door in the kitchen so it's not tough to grab what I need most times of the year. My golden oregano didn't fair too well for winter harvest this year for some reason. Maybe this pic will help with the sill visual, although the sill looks pretty skimpy here. The finished window showing in the photo is 38" tall, but is actually slightly taller before the framing was done. I think the kitchen windows were 40". (I bought many windows in our whole house reno so my memory is being tested here.) The side panels are each about 17.5" and the center panel is 35". IIRC, I ordered the window as 18/36/18, meaning the side panels were each 18" and the center was 36". Keep looking for a way to get what you want. Depending on your faucet choice, keep in mind the idea of turning the faucet lever in the front like I did with my standard 24" deep base cabs. Not all faucets can be turned this way, and certainly not a bridge faucet if you're going for the "timeless" kitchen style with white farm sink and nickel bridge faucet. HTH!...See Morebobbie2010
