Corbels on top of tile or integrated....Vote please
Comments (18)Well, I'm in the minority seeing as I had no qualms about smacking an ornate crown molding and corbels on my plain cabinet doors. That's probably because I don't think of my kitchen as "mission" or "shaker" style. Its style could only be described as "What alku05 likes". I think your "hutch" will look great with corbels. I still have to finish the staining process for my corbels, but when they're done, they're going right under this cabinet: (Look, you can even see the corbels by the mixer! Just noticed on preview.) (sorry for the bad picture quality)...See MorePlease vote, mirrors
Comments (24)Thanks everyone for your input, it helps!! JR T - that single mirror has been in my mind since long before my bathroom came to be, but my older daughter wants 2 (younger wants 1 ... son doesn't care ;) So I found the 2 mirror option. But if not for everyone swearing by side-sconce as best, I think that single mirror would have already been up by now because I prefer the function of one mirror providing more reflection area and making the space feel wide open ;) Nancy in Mich, you are right about lower/eye-level sconces. I should have mentioned in my initial post that the sconces between the two mirrors WOULD be lower than the picture I posted of the two-mirror-option...in reality I would put the sconces at face level (I'm in MI too, btw :) tatts - Thank you for that comment about the clear glass, it was a concern I've had since I fell in love with them. I actually hate what clear-glass/exposed bulbs do to my eyes....I also worried about the fluting creating a reflection of light scattered in the way a crystal chandelier does...was going to post a separate quw=estion about it but now I don't have too :) They have a frosted version not quite as pretty but I am all about function first (hence the choice of porcelain 'marble' in lieu of the real deal) If I go with the 2 mirror / sconce option, I will go go with frosted glass Karen - thank you for your kind words and advice as well. I tried very hard to make this a very light/bright bathroom for my kids currently, but that will have some timelessness to it so that I can still like and enjoy it after they are all off to college. I have to ask, have you actually had a bad experience with side sconces at eye level? People SWEAR it is the way to go, but I always wonder about the reality from those who have actually had both. I have had the additional recessed lights above each sink, was hoping that would boost either option (side-sconce or overhead light). tvq1 - Thank you! The vanity is made by Mission Hills and I bought it through Costco because I needed a vanity in a hurry in order to keep up with the contractor! I think it is the Parker 60" but it also comes in 72, is well-made for the price and it arrived in less than a week! SReed - Thank you :) As far as putting the two mirrors together together though, I would be concerned that they would be too offset/far from the sinks? I do wish the one big mirror was a few inches more narrow ... Thanks to everyone else that commented as well, I really appreciate the responses because it all helps in the decision-making process! LAST QUESTION: If I end up going with the 2 mirror option, do you think that having only 1-2" of wall space at the top is ok? I wanted tall mirrors so it would make the room feel taller/larger, and I like the unexpected drama of it in a classic space (why i did the large niche as well) ....but I held two posterboards up to simulate the 24 X 48 mirror over one sink and it truly only leaves 1-2" of wall area on top and bottom. I should also mention that the two mirror option only leaves 7" of space between my right wall and outer-edge of right mirror (7-8" of space between mirrors ....left side of left mirror is open to wall behind toilet) I'm ok with it but if anyone has a strong opinion against it, please chime in!...See MorePlease vote - Which house do you prefer?
Comments (53)Thanks so much all! I appreciate everyone's input. To clarify - I was leaning towards modern farmhouse but now that I'm in the neighborhood, I'm drawn to the colonial homes native to the area and I'm leaning towards something more traditional. Those are not the *exact* houses I have to choose from - just three very different styles - I'd say #1 is more victorian, #2 craftsman, and #3 modern farmhouse.. This has really helped me let go of the modern farmhouse style that I do like, but it's just not right for the area.. Thank you!...See MorePlease vote on floorplans!
Comments (34)Nice progress and it’s been fun to watch your process (although it sounds like you are sick of the “process!”). Of your latest ones right above this post, I like B - I really like the little closet by the powder room and how it tucks the PW away from family room a bit more. And I think the bump out is more useful in the butlers pantry. A few minor thoughts: I think you could make the dining more narrow (from top to bottom). It’s looks kind of square leaving water space in the two left corners. That would enable a slight bigger living room and room for a chair for better furniture layout. I would make the door from the hallway to the mud room a sliding/ pocket or barn door - the colliding doors will drive your crazy! I would consider making the fireplace a little off-center in the family room to proactively design a place for the TV (assuming that is your TV room). You have space to do it right vs throwing it above the fireplace or somewhere not convenient for watching....See MoreMalika Gupta
