When is a 24' counter stool not a 24' counter stool?
Comments (6)Thanks for all the info. Sorry I wasn't clear mercymygft, 22" to the top of the frame. Wish I had your sales rep sas9! The salesperson I normally deal with was going on vacation and he told me I could place the order with anyone because they were not on commission. I didn't like the salesperson I was dealing with but did not want to be rude, so I placed the order with her. I probably would have gotten better info from my regular guy. I called the manufacturer and they told me I could have had the stools made anywhere from 24-30 inches. Sigh. They cannot be returned angela12345 because they were a custom order. On a positive note, I have been a regular customer of the furniture store for many years. They have taken the stools back and are looking to see if they can add some inches under the seat. If they can't maybe you can give me some pointers on eating at chest level:)...See MoreHaving trouble picking out floor/counter/cabinet stain and colors
Comments (4)How exciting a new place for yourself! My girlfriend just had her entire million dollar house redone in natural oak floors. And she has amazing taste to go with her money. I do not think natural is out. If you visit Kraftmaid, Thomasville, Yorktowne, Merrilat, Diamond.. (Visit finished kitchen blog too) kitchen cabinet sites you can see med maple or dark cherry with the oak floors you are thinking about. I personally like a contrast between cabinets and floors. But, there are 1000 of combinations that make people happy. Make yourself happy. Here are some images to visualize. It always helps me to see. Please know I put in a bunch of different woods not specifically what you said. But a few have blk counters. And perhaps you can see if you like the contrast or not. All good to think about. ~boxerpups socketsite springwoodbuilders realestate ad...See MorePlease help me pick a counter top. Down to the wire
Comments (10)Thanks so much for the replies. For those interested this is a new construction so there's not much for photos. The kitchen will be L shaped with a 4x7.5' island. I'm not sure on my budget for the stone but I believe I can go up a bit in price if need be. Right now I'd say mid range is my price point. I appreciate the photos poohpup and the input gr8day and herbflavor. I was considering something leathered with not a lot of movement for the perimeter and maybe something wilder on the island. Any more pics that anyone has to share would be greatly appreciated....See Morequestionable fabricator of our soapstone counter tops
Comments (10)Florida Joshua installed our soapstone in May. We have a seam in our sink . . . . that you can't find. People have to search to find the 3 seams in our stone, because they are hard to see/feel. He used a black epoxy, it looks like your fabricator used white? And the bit about soapstone being porous and the water seeping in? Puhlease. False. Here's my sink. The seam is in the lower left hand side of the sink, about 3 inches in. Good luck trying to find it. This is freshly oiled. This is 3 months after install. We aren't oilers. As you can see, not having the stone oiled doesn't affect seeing the seam....See Morehappyallison
