New guy, please review my layout
Comments (2)mrich, Ideally, you would put your tomatoes on the north side. Zucchini doesn't really climb. You might place the cutting flowers along the border. Looks like the long sides are east and west which makes placement a bit difficult. Ususally want to plant the tallest plants to the north and then step them down toward the south. Shortest plants to the south. Some thing like bush beans, cabbage, broccoli can take a bit of shade. Keski...See MoreKitchen layout to review, new build
Comments (17)Sorry for misreading your original. Just to repeat what pal said in a different way, a counter depth ref is often 30" deep by the time the doors and handles are added. A normal depth ref is 36" deep. Your aisle can become only 2'9" right in front of the ref. Also, in case you might not know, a sxs or a french door ref pretty much needs landing space that is behind you as you stand in front of it (pivot and set down). Landing space to either side isn't so good because most people can't reach the counter without walking around the open door. I think you thinkin' looks with those shelves and I'm thinkin' they won't actually work. Try this out at home with cardboard boxes holding books - it's not so easy to find the one you want when the spines face the other direction. For me, I'd be forced to reach blind and wronghanded for the ones stored on the right side. I wouldn't be able to reach most of the ones in the other corner at all without a step stool because the micro would get in the way. Pretty much, you can't put a hood that high over a range. Most of them max out at 30-36" above the surface of the burners (or whatever). So - these are two different little sketches on one drawing - conceptual, not measured. The first is a blue sky thought that would take resiting the mudroom and what I hope is an extra powder room. Cause I would be looking to do something more like the sketch in terms of kitchen space and placement. The second is an alternate of just the window area - much like rhome's cleanup area - to eliminate some of the access issues and possibly better positioning of the micro....See Morereview of my new build plans (photos attached)
Comments (58)I think your house has a lot of potential! I know you didn't initially ask re: the second floor, but I couldn't help taking a crack at it - especially regarding the laundry room & master closet... =) Basically the left-side bedroom gets a large reach-in closet, thus removing the weird bumps in the master closet. The right-side bedroom gets a bit more depth in its bathroom (storage!), and there's 70" of closet on one wall + room for hooks, mirror, etc on the remaining closet walls. The laundry room is a bit more narrow (33” between wall & machines) but no longer has the machines against your master bedroom wall. Good luck - looking forward to your project going forward! =)...See MoreNew Build - 2 layouts - need your help please
Comments (9)I have not personally seen Medallion cabinets, so I have no opinion on them. I did find some past posts from people who have had Medallion cabinets. Seems like it's mixed reviews about different finishes wearing & tearing differently. A mix of good and bad experiences. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/medallion-cabinetswhat-do-you-think-of-them-dsvw-vd~2691559 https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-cabinet-nightmare-with-medallion-cabinets-dsvw-vd~450117 https://www.houzz.com/discussions/medallion-cabinets-color-variation-dsvw-vd~2556459 http://www.kitchenreviews.com/cabinets/reviews/medallion/...See MoreRelated Professionals
