Introducing Hudson Shawn Sich
Comments (43)Honestly, it looked like some kind of Halloween trick -- a babyseat that levitates on its own. It sure beats pacing the floor with them. You are very brave to set up that cam. Can you tell when people are watching? I hope you don't mind that I took a peek. Don't overdo, so you heal well....See MoreBeware Hudson Reed
Comments (5)I'm sorry to read this also. We have three Hudson Reed fixtures -- two lavatory faucets and a gorgeous exposed-valve shower set. Their customer service was fabulous, and the quality of the fixtures appears to be much higher than the price would suggest. One of the lavatory faucets and the shower set has been in use for close to 2 years with no problems. The other lavatory faucet was only installed about 6 months ago. For folks who are thinking about using Hudson Reed -- I would not dismiss all of their products automatically, but rather take a 'hedge your bets' approach. Lavatory faucets are EASY to replace, so that would be a safe place to try one out. Even though a few of the HR comments I'd read were negative, we decided to go ahead with the HR exposed-valve shower because if any problems were to occur, they would be immediately visible in the exposed workings. So far, there have been no problems, and our $450 shower looks and works as great as the $2500 alternative....See MoreLayout for 1850 Colonial kitchen with 3 doors and 3 tall windows
Comments (42)Enduring: the game room is actually the original house dating to 1790. The part with the kitchen is the addition :). Game room is about 12 x 14 with only one 6 foot segment of uninterrupted wall. 100 years ago, it was the dining room and our current dining room was the 'front' parlor, but we dont' really feel a need for a front parlor these days. Palimpsest: Good idea to check out old design books. Haven't been to the local library lately, but would be good to see some things that aren't just today's style since I don't want to get too stuck there anyway. The contractor I plan to use seems to have a tendancy to make things a bit more finished than suits my taste (why would I need trim around a wall oven--oh yeah, that's how they make money :) ), so I need to prepare myself to push back and allow the space to be a little funky. Aliris: I was playing around with that pennisula idea too after Rosie suggested one coming out from the other wall. It actually works pretty nicely as it doesn't obstruct the main traffic route for guests from dining/living to guest bath and doesn't obstruct the windows. It does result in a lot less counter space and storage however than island plan and I really want that counter space! Chris 11895: Yes, I've had the home depot kitchen designer and three different contractors (2 only do kitchens) on site. You guys have come up with everything they did and a good bit more. Thanks! Thanks to everyone for all the ideas. I'm really glad I listened to that gut feeling that something wasn't quite right and asked for help. Without the push, I never would have mocked up that chimney and discovered what a bad idea it was. Nor would it have occured to me that I could move the counter just far enough off the window wall to allow for light and cleaning rather than making it a tight passageway. I'll need to figure out what goes back there (shelves? table?), but that's something I can play around with once the counters are in. So, I think at this point I'm very happy with that idea. It leaves me with a comfortable width galley, lots of counter space, and I get to keep my kitchen table and radiator, which are my favorite parts of the kitchen as it is now. I know some of you despair at putting anything even partially in front of the windows, but believe me, when they are through the whole house you realize that the other option is having no furniture! We have a couch set up like this in the living room: sofa table behind it between the two windows and then sofa is a couple feet out from the window wall. It still leaves the light and windows visable, but makes the room functional. I have an appointment to order cabinets next week, so I'm going to move on to the next set of decisions. I'm sure some of those will lead to a few more questions! And yes, pictures will be forthcoming in a few months....See MoreMiracle on the Hudson rose...
Comments (117)So beautiful and rich, That’s why I love my reds so much. Most bloom like there’s no tomorrow even my 2 little MOTHs. Mine just don’t seem to like my winters being so cold. My other reds recover well from loosing all of their cane to winter....See MoreRebecca Mitchell Interiors
