Comments (25)melly I'm w/Casey Sombreil - Wool rugs - contrary to popular belief that they are not practical in high traffic areas - they are! Wool has natural stain resistance - hold up really well, feel & look great - Casey every time I see pics you post I swoon :) We have 2 One in front of range - not high quality but works, functional held up really well 5+yrs Another in front of sink - higher quality - takes a beating, no stains, again 5+yrs...See MoreOpinions requested for a (hopefully) classic kitchen
Comments (15)I think the consensus is to choose the curved canopy over the range. I wrote an email to my KD today about my concerns. She wrote back and reassured me. She advised that my finishes -- hardware, paint and stain selection, granite and marble choices and lighting can set the tone of what kind of style is expressed. She even photographed a couple of design boards to show what she meant. Unfortunately, my husband preferred the traditional option and I chose the classic option... Florantha - coincidentally, I was looking at chinkle's kitchen the other day on this site. I can't remember how I ended up looking at it. It is pretty. Lavender floss - thanks for your vote and your vote of confidence. How do you know about Candice Olson, are you Canadian? Sometimes I love how she's transformed rooms, sometimes I think yikes. I agree, those tiles are busy but everything else is tasteful. The little nook is actually meant to fulfill many functions. I'm hoping the "baking area" function of it is functional, as you noted. I love to bake -- when I have time. Another purpose for that area is to be a small prep area for the kids if they want to make a snack. Since the area is close to the fridge, pantry and has its own sink, they won't be underfoot when I'm preparing a meal -- at least, that's the plan... It'll also function as the area guests can use if they want to help. I'm like still_lynnski, I like to have my kitchen space to myself when I'm cooking. In the past, in my small kitchen, I allowed people in the kitchen because the're just trying to be helpful, but it drove me a bit batty. Also, that's where I'm planning to tell my husband to use as a meal prep area. I'm blessed to have a husband who enjoys cooking and he does it often. Unfortunately, he makes a huge mess while he's doing so (and doesn't clean it up) . Unless you're sitting at the far end of the island, you'll barely be able to see the mess in the nook. It's a bit of a concern since the kitchen is visible from the family room and partially from the dining room. As you can see the kitchen layout was thought out ad nauseum. This small nook was actually quite the headache for me. At various points it was going to be another walk-in pantry, a built-in breakfast seating area, and some other silly ideas. I'm so glad that I nixed these ideas. I think the way it is now will be much more practical for my family. Please keep your comments coming. I'd like your opinions on how to finish the area above my fridge. Again, I'm thinking that it's too traditional. Should I keep it as is or should I do something else?...See MoreHopefully the Last Rug/Decoration Question Here
Comments (83)Using the golden curtain in the winter is a great idea; I wouldn't have thought of that. nsm, my carpet is gray and everything has cool tones in the bedroom, and here I would characterize the color of the bench as taupe, and to me taupe has a grayish undertone. The color is not linen, which to me is lighter than taupe....See MoreAnother (hopefully last) paint question
Comments (5)My husband is indifferent about it- as long as he has his computers, tv, guitars, our dogs, and a comfy chair he is happy in there for the most part. The wall color bugs me because it really feels dark in there. He is telling me to do it now while we are remodeling the kitchen and fr, but my gc just said it can wait til next week. The chair is a RH leather chair that I bought him 16 years ago. He has changed out the casters many times and is reluctant to give it up unless I can find one as comfortable....See MoreRelated Professionals
