Where to put hooks on door??
Comments (6)Where are these doors located? Is this for the front door, to hang heavy coats and umbrellas and such? Or for bathroom doors, for towels and a robe? Or for your bedroom door? I would not use an over-the-door gizmo. I've used both metal varieties and a lucite version, and even the lucite version's "over-part" was noticeable on the front. I'm sure your 3-panel Shaker doors are really nice-looking; you're just gonna turn them into Shabby Shaker with an over-the-door hanger and ruin the look. I would use some of the larger 3M Command hooks, which are better than ordinary adhesive hooks because if you follow the instructions on preparing the surface, they will come off easily later on (tho upon removing, to make sure there's no surface damage, you need to pull the little adhesive strip straight down, perfectly straight, not an an angle). They have them in white and in a brushed chrome and a bronzy-looking color, too, I think. Look for them in places including Target and Bed Bath & Beyond....See MoreAnyone felt like their new tall uppers were 'looming' over them?
Comments (29)deedles - I think that a big part of the issue is just what you said, "LARGE SOMETHINGS where nothing used to be". Each time we get another step closer to our kitchen being finished, I get that "uh-oh, did I screw up" feeling. It's normal...it's a lot of money and not much options if it's not "right". And if you're like me, there's really one chance to get this right...we're for sure not going through this again any time soon. Just yesterday, we started to get our handles put on. As much as I wanted something other than blue tape...I'm looking at our beautiful wood...and I'm feeling rather "meh" about the handles. I wanted to look at those and say, "oh, that's so perfect." Instead, I'm looking at the handles and going, "Well, it's nice that I can finally open the doors properly now." Not really a chance of a redo there...holes are drilled. I imagine in a few more days, once I adjust to our kitchen having the handles (that we've been waiting for to be put on for about 1 1/2 months now), I'll look at it and think it looks just right. But for now, I'm feeling that uh-oh feeling you described. Knowing the bits and pieces that I do about your kitchen, I know it's going to look stunning when it's all finished. :)...See MoreBathroom door hook finish?
Comments (1)I'd say its a toss up. I have black hinges on my door, and chrome everywhere else. I have a few black knobs on a free standing cabinet. antique looking knobs on my vanity that match the metal of my very nice mirror. My plumbing fixtures and towel rack is chrome. The reason for the black hinges is because of the neighboring room and the need to coordinate the door with that room. I think it might look nice with a ORB hook. Can you place cutout dark paper on the location for the hook, and then put up a piece of aluminum as the chrome, take pictures, and decide over a few days. Thats what I would do. I like my coordinated but varied mix of metals....See MoreDo c hooks for curtain rods over a patio door work?
Comments (2)There isn’t enough room for you to stack back all that fabric. Consider a treatment like this Roman shade from etsy.com. Installed on one rod, each panel can be raised or lowered as needed. What I do suggest is you have the panels lined .
