built-in fridge look without the price?
Comments (2)This won't be helpful, but the thought of slapping the dacor grille onto the KA fridge just made me think of putting lipstick on a pig. :) I know, not helpful, just popped into my head. I, too, live in the midwest and at least where I live, built in fridges are not the norm at all in that price range. Stainless, sure. Counter depth, yup. But you won't find the true built-ins until you start getting up in the 1/2 million houses, if then. Personally, I would much prefer to have the best counter depth I could afford and leave it at that. The grille won't fool anyone who knows enough to care....See MoreNeed curb appeal ideas!
Comments (34)Here I am reading the post, not realizing it's old (only on my 2nd coffee) lol I was going to suggest painting it green, but a different shade, or darker grays / more of I guess an earthy neutral. I would take it one step farther and paint or change out the door, but the house looks great! The satellite dish was actually a plus, hope you kept it? I can't tell you how many my son installs especially with football season coming. If people have cable there, they may be looking to move away from it like we most likely will do. Glad you decided not to take the Rhodie out. Depending on where you live, it may not be as hardy in a new plant version if the owners want one or hacking it back very well could have killed it. FWIW, I liked the idea to add decorative lighting to the garage, and would have gone one step farther with a lighted walkway. I went to realtor.com, ask your agent to change out the main picture or if you like the one they have, ask her to retake the photo without the minivan if something happens with the offer. Good luck....See Moremid century molding dilemma
Comments (2)By chance is this in Texas? We thought we might move there and saw almost the exact same home. It had so many possibilities and was intriguing. We have our kitchen wall painted Repose Gray and warm oak floors. We really like the combo. Good luck with your renovation....See MorePutting a dishwasher at the end of the cabinets
Comments (17)"Where were you able to find dishwasher that had a face on it like that to blend into your cupboards so well?" She bought a dishwasher that let her attach her own front to it. I'd start by picking a dishwasher and checking the cabinet dimensions to see if it will fit. For example, here are the installation instructions with required dimensions for the inexpensive Whirlpool WDF520PADW. Also check whether you have (or can install) a circuit for the dishwasher and whether there are any restrictions on the length of the drain hose from the dishwasher to the disposal to which you will connect it. Of course, putting the dishwasher so far from the sink won't be very convenient for scape 'n load....See Moreamykath
