Would this bother you?
Comments (9)Well..the picture is a little misleading as the ceiling is actually more of a off white/creamy color. The swirls in the color of the pendant are the same color that is on the walls. Also, by the time you have cabinets in along with the granite, it will be more tied together....See MoreWould this bother you? (Must pay close attention to plans!)
Comments (25)If the goal is to have the left and middle ones centered on the front door AND have the middle and the right one centered on the window, there is only one way to achieve it. Moving the leftmost one to the left by 7". I assume that the columns are 18" wide. Otherwise the plan doesn't make sense. Then if you are standing in front of the door, the door will be centered in between columns. And if you're standing in front of the window, the window will be centered in between columns. But you have wider space on the left, than on the right. Start drawing with that in mind. You'd know what I mean. If the goal is to evenly space three columns , then the best you could do is moving the center one to the left by 5". What Renovator8 said. I'd personally like this scenario better. Currently, you're achieving neither. I'd complain about the designer's incompetence and persuade the builder. It may not be noticeable but whether it will bother you depends on you. I know it would bother me for a long time. This post was edited by ttonk on Sat, Sep 28, 13 at 22:43...See MoreCooktop? Would this bother you.
Comments (11)I'm usually a symmetry freak but as others have said, you won't have that birds' eye view. What's it look like when you're standing there? I've had a 36" DCS cooktop for 7 years and I've generally been happy with it. One of the things that bugs me the most is having those big knobs on the side takes up too much space. If I have a 12" saute pan on the right front burner (my usual burner of choice), there isn't enough room to put a pan on the left front burner unless I put the handle of the saute pan toward the back which makes it awkward to reach, or having the handle hang over the front which is just plain dangerous. I think having the knobs in that position on a 30" would cause a similar issue. Put some pans on the floor model and see what you think. The other thing I don't like about my DCS is that the highest BTU burner is dead center both left to right and front to back. I'd rather have my highest BTU burner in the front where it's easiest to reach. Every time I put my wok on that center burner, I end up moving it back to the right front even though it doesn't have as many BTU's....See MoreWould this bother you?
Comments (42)Hi, I think your cabinets are beautiful and I think the microwave looks fine. As many here have stated, it is hardly noticable. However, I would worry about the clearance from the cooktop. Our KD told us we would not be able to have the MW OTR because you need to have a minimum of an 18 inches from cooktop to bottom of cabs. Ours was 161/2 and then became 16 with light rail. With all that said, rather than ordering another custom cabinet, is it possible to remove just the header or bulkhead over the cabinet above the MW and bump up the existing cabinet to the ceiling? I think it would look nice and solve the problem. Good luck to you. Your kitchen is lovely....See MoreOakley
