Window trim questions; rosettes and casing sizes
Comments (3)ours are about a healthy 1/4", and about a 1/2" deeper. but we have 2 different sizes...larger ones in the window corners and smaller as moldding filler...we decided to use them and the corner blocks rather than making all the miter cuts....See MoreWhat Size of baseboard window and door trim
Comments (2)Way too vague to start. Mid century which style? Is painting the reason for keeping the wider trim? Using the same trim in rooms where the trim continues is necessary, but in bedrooms/bathrooms/contained rooms, trim can be different since the trim is contained in that room. What look do you want? Simple? Elaborate? In between? That has a huge impact on the style of trim and profile....See MoreWindows flanking cooktop? Need to tell builder tomorrow!
Comments (10)You gals are so awesome. I love this forum. Ok. I've decided on the 2 windows instead of one. My husband told me that the window trim is not 4". It is about 3" and we would like to do the kitchen windows in the same trim. rhome - 1) Yes, I would like to leave the option open of adding a wall cabinet/ to the counter hutch in future. I think a wider (24"-30") hutch would be more useful than two 12" ones, so I am thinking of pushing the first window up to the corner near the porch. That will leave me enough space to put a wide-enough hutch on the side nearer the pantry if I need it. I feel like the tall rather than wide windows will look better from the exterior as they'll be more consistent with the window shapes of rest of the house. The information you and breezygirl gave about space around the trim is just what I was needing to know. Thank you! 2) My current fridge (which I will use in the new house) is a side by side, but I want the option to replace it with a single door in future. Think I've decided on 45" between fridge and island, and I'll leave the rest of the aisles alone. 3) The dw is on the right of the sink because we are right-handed and it feels more natural to rinse the dishes in the sink then load the dw on the right. I think it would be awkward for us to do it the other way. You make a good point about the dw door opening while people are crossing, I just don't see how we would comfortably switch the two around. florantha - yes, we have a lovely view of a large creek that surrounds the sides and back of our house. I love light and would love to have a wall of windows in my kitchen but we may already have overdone it on the windows and openness throughout the house! No real issue with fixed items in the window wall, except perhaps the 42" wood hood, which I have flexibility to move a few inches back and forth. Breezygirl and florantha: Openable windows - I have a sliding glass door between kitchen and porch, so that will bring air in. That's why I'm leaning towards picture windows. Like breezygirl, they're small enough windows without breaking them up horizontally, and the full glass will prob. frame the view better. I still love the idea of opening windows right above my counter though! I can't justify the extra cost of casements, esp. since we have the door for ventilation. DH cares only for the fullest, biggest view possible, while I like fresh air at least as much. Breezygirl, would you still prefer opening windows if you had another source of fresh air? Breezygirl, btw, I am thrilled that you are chiming in! I can't tell you how many times I have read your post about the same subject, and it was so helpful as I've been trying to work out this window/ assymetry issue. I am glad to hear that you're happy with your 2 windows! I have 2 trash pullouts - an 18" one as the last cabinet in island on cooktop side, and another 18" on left of main sink. On the space between window trim and hood, I have a couple options: 1) Leave 4" in the 4 spaces between trim and everything else: wall, hood, hutch cab. End up with a 24" hutch on wall next to pantry. 2) Leave 3" between trim, hood, and hutch, and ONE INCH space in between trim and wall on porch side. End up with a 30" hutch. 3) 6" between trim and everything else, and end up with no hutch. 4) 6" between hood and trim for 2 flanking windows. 3" between trim and wall, and trim and hutch. That leaves 23" for a hutch, so I suppose a 21" hutch. What would you do? Btw, do you need a filler between an upper cabinet and the wall? If I'm correct, you need to have at least a 3/4" filler wherever your base cabinet runs into a wall, but I don't know about uppers. Please excuse me if I am less than coherent. I really need some sleep!...See MoreDIY Kitchen Progress. Need Opinions!
Comments (4)What is the box that you painted on next to the shelving? As a fellow DYI'er, I think that you are way ahead of yourself. First lower the electrical box if you can or move it the center of those windows. That would visually drive me insane to have a box in the apron.Then patch the hole. Wait until you have the lower cabinets or a mock up with cardboard boxes in to decide about the shelving. If I was putting in just shelving there, I would want them centered and longer then 48". I would think a minimum of 72" for balance. It depends on what you have planned in that square. Also think about what will be happening under those shelves before putting in a wine glass rack. Are appliances going there? Will prep be done there? Will those glasses hanging down drive you insane because they are in the way or your afraid that they might break....See MoreSombreuil
