working in progress of the latest bath
Comments (2)What a great square onepiece toilet~ And, I like the way the vessel sink and the vanity front share the same curve angles. Is this a wetroom? I was wondering about the shower, made me think wetroom....See MoreLatest CL find
Comments (8)Thanks everyone! I'm looking for a solid color shower curtain since I would prefer that. I want a particular shade of green....and I'll find it eventually. (I don't feel like making one since I've got more than enough projects to keep me busy. Working on the master suite right now.) I'll use plates anywhere I want to and I've seen them used by designers in just about every room of a house. Decorative plates are particularly practical in a bathroom. If it gets "steamy" there's no chance they'd be damaged by the water vapor. I considered painting the vanity but, although the photos really don't show it well, the frame on that mirror is cherry. (Lady I bought it from said it used to belong with a dresser she had.) There's no way to paint the vanity to match real cherry and trying to do it would look just look like "painted vanity that she tried to match to a real cherry frame" which is worse than leaving it white, IMHO....See MoreBuilding Kitchen Cabinets
Comments (28)If I could afford it, there's a small mill and cabinet shop not far from here who does outstanding work, and is accustomed to making cabs for really old houses with odd needs. My kitchen is such an odd room I'd have to spend a fortune to have even simple cabs built. I can't afford it, so I'm doing it myself. This is an old house with many additions, and a kitchen that has 8 door openings and 1970s stuff done to it. After living with it for two years, I pretty well have figured out how to make it a workable kitchen without doing any major structural changes. Many decades ago, my parents bought an old house with a kitchen my mother could not use because of the height of the counters and cabinets (she was even tinier than I am). My dad, his only power tool a rotary saw borrowed from my grandfather, built her a beautiful kitchen that fit her on what had been the back porch (the original kitchen became an informal eating space). Lots and lots of clamps. My dad taught me how to use tools and do finish work. I'm not a master craftsman and if I hadn't learned as much as I did, I think this thread would intimidate me out of trying. I guess I could get myself worked up thinking I needed all kinds of tools and gadgets and special techniques. (I do have a few more power tools than my dad did, though!) The cabinets will be built in place because, well, all the measurements are odd. No biggie. My brother IS a master cabinetmaker, who unfortunately lives 3000 miles away, but he has no doubt I can build cabinets (he's even given me a few more hints on how to simplify things). I have no need for fancy cabinets and they wouldn't look good in my old house anyway. But if that's what I really wanted, I think I could do it. I wouldn't let my sil do it, though. He's one of those guys who thinks he knows more than he does. I watched him tape and mud drywall in their living room, he wouldn't take any suggetions from me (I trained with a master drywaller). What a mess. After that, the only thing I'll let him do is jack up the corner of my barn so we can put in a new sill. I'm 5 feet tall, weigh 105#, I've put in foundations, built additions, converted a garage, completely reroofed two houses, and now, in my 60s, am in the midst of reclaiming a sadly neglected old Victorian (not, I hasten to add, one of the big, fancy ones-- just a little house with a lot of charm). Yes, I am crazy. It's ok, though....See MoreLatest attempt at addition in midcentury home- getting closer!
Comments (29)I think 6 feet should work in your hallway. If I understand you correctly you want a small section of glass in your shower facing the courtyard. That sounds nice. The more I think about it, the more I think you should just accept glass in your shower and use a squeegee. Glass is probably easier to maintain than tile with grout (if you squeegee) I use the biggest squeegee I could find and it does't take long. Otherwise, a patterned glass would be nice, but even that could cloud up and would get a buildup. Definitely get good ventilation. I've never used a closet design company, but maybe they could at least get you in the right direction for building the space for what you want. I could see back to back chest in the middle of your closet making an island. Something like these Ikea are not too deep and would total under 3 feet by 5 feet for 2 of them. I don't know about their durability. I've never had them. CHESTS I've got 3 feet in my closet between hanging clothes as you enter. Toward the back of the closet , it is more like 4 feet because of shelves on both sides. You don't need to maintain 42 inch aisles in the whole closet in my opinion, but it is nice to have a couple spaces open for dressing. You could even do a chest in the middle with a bench on the end, nice for getting dressed....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
