Please help me with Farmhouse/apron sink
Comments (6)I do not have one, but I've wanted one! I cannot answer all your questions, but just a couple. I think the choice of double or single bowl depends a lot on the size of the sink. If you are going to go with the 30" size, then single bowl would be better - a double bowl sink in a 30" size may mean that neither bowl is big enough to soak roasting pans, cookie sheets, etc. If you go to a 33" or 36" sink, then the choice is personal preference and your cooking/cleaning style. I myself have a single bowl sink and would never go back to a double, but there are just as many people who would only have a double bowl sink. What have you used and liked or disliked in the past? The advantages of stainless apron front over the traditional fireclay apron front sink are: less expensive, easier to install (fireclay can have uneven dimensions and therefore be harder to scribe the countertops around it), lighter so easier to install, will not chip, and you won't need a drain flange for a disposal (fireclay is thick so in order to install a disposal you would need to buy a longer drain flange). Disadvantages are: the look is not traditional the way fireclay is, and stainless shows water spots and scratches (the scratches develop into a patina over time, so I wouldn't worry about that). Regarding faucets, there are SO many choices. I would make sure that you get a sprayer faucet so that you can easily clean into all the corners. I myself prefer a faucet with an integrated sprayer, rather than a side sprayer. You get better water pressure with an integrated sprayer, and a side sprayer means you have to hold onto the handle for the spray to stay on. Pay attention to the reach of the faucet - that dimension is available on all the brands' websites. You don't want the reach to be too short so that you have to reach far into the sink to grab it. I will link below to a thread with 100+ posts showing faucets, and you can see if any appeal to you. There was an interesting thread that I will link regarding SS apron front sinks, and whether to get a curved or straight front. It has some nice photos, and people also posted the names of their sinks, so I think it will be of use to you. I will link it below. As to brands, I have read on this forum that people really like their Kraus sinks and their Ticor SS stainless sinks; both are heavier 16 gauge. I think Ticor also offers stainless apron front sink with "zero radius" corners, which I would stay away from - those zero radius corners tend to collect gunk. Ticor also offer sinks with "tight radius" corners that will have a very slight curve, which would be easier. A nice kitchen with a SS apron front sink is Hobokenkitchen's. She bought hers as an inexpensive no-name on eBay. Thread Called Which Kitchen Faucet Did You Pick?

Comments (28)Is the screened porch/sunroom going to be a screened porch or a sunroom? If it is enclosed and heated/cooled...it solves a lot of my concerns with the first floor...namely no "away" space and lack of space for dining when entertaining. You could set up quite a large table in there for Thanksgiving, etc. Also, it would be a good place for the kids and your future baby to play while you are in the kitchen. The downstairs bedroom would make a great "day nursery" for the baby to nap while you are working downstairs. I am worried about where your older kids will have their rooms, though. I guess they could share the basement room for a little while...but the 10 year old girl will want some privacy in the next few years. Can you carve out 2 bedrooms in the basement? All in all...a very pretty house!...See MoreLooking for antique look farmhouse out floor plans!
Comments (20)I hate cookie cutter answers. You say you already know exactly what you want. What is it that you cannot find? My sister bought her land from one of the top custom builders in our area. Like you, she knew what she wanted, but couldn't find the Tudor style exterior and the interior layout that she wanted. She did, however, find a plan for a Mediterranean home that had a floor plan that met all of her wishes. She took the plans to her builder and explained her dilemma. Her builder wasn't worried at all. He told her to buy the plans and he and his team would alter the plans to create the Tudor exterior with the room layout and dimensions of the plan she purchased. Her home is absolutely stunning. It actually won an award for best new build in our county the year it was built. She obviously didn't need an architect. On the other hand, some people really don't have the ability to analyze their needs, are not good at visualizing spaces or may have special needs that require the expertise of a qualified architect. Like any other major expenditure you have to balance budget vs cost vs needs. Not everyone drives a Mercedes - some can't afford a Mercedes and some who could afford a Mercedes prioritize their spending and find that a Mercedes isn't how they want to spend their money, and some who really can't afford a Mercedes buy one anyway and struggle to pay their rent or get a second job so they can make the payments....See MorePlease help me with my new American/Modern Farmhouse?
Comments (7)"Modern Farmhouse" is a marketing term, not at architectural class. It's supposed to evoke nostalgia for a "simpler time". So, if this plan does that for you, it's a modern farmhouse. With regards to colours and finishes, yes some combination of those colours would likely be fine for that house. And yes, fewer finishes are generally speaking a better choice than multiple finishes. Simple is beautiful. But more important than "the pretty" is the function. Does this house work for you? Have you tried adding furniture to the plan diagram? Did you think about where you would walk and what you'd need to go around to bring groceries in and put them away? Or do laundry? Or make dinner without swearing? If your home is truly functional, it will be easy to make beautiful. If it's not functional, all the pretty finishes won't make you like living there....See MoreUser

7 years agoThanks Mark B. I like the front elevation and some of what I see in the photos. Working with a builder and architect but have a few challenges to work around...budget, lot size and an old beautiful live oak tree on the lot.
