Would you put a towel holder here? Or leave it?
Comments (10)I have two bathrooms with towel rings in that location (and toilets to the left) and both have outlets in similar locations. I took a folded hand towel (to simulate looping over the ring) and hung it so the towel hangs just above (maybe .5-1") the countertop. I really like having the hand towel there. It means that no one is crossing the room with dripping hands or potentially dropping a towel in the toilet (if I hung it over the toilet instead). I don't think there's a right or wrong answer, it just depends on what looks and functions well for you....See MoreHelp me figure out where to put this so I can talk DH into it!
Comments (5)I saw it, I love it! It's antique, from TX (a plus for DH), PO had brought it up, new owner took it out has decorated condo contemporary. If I want it delivered I have to get it tomorrow though, since the DS is down from Boston with his huge Suburban. TV won't fit on the lower shelf in front of mirror (2" too tall!), so I'm thinking DR. Measured and I only need to take 1/8" off each horn of the window stools, or, since they're pine, I'm thinking replace the window stools and trim with oak, actually build it in by overlapping the window casing onto the back board rather than leaving 1/2" of paint b/t them? Or... put it on the garage wall at the head of the table, I'd center it on the chandy/table since then it would be centered b/t the wall outlets. Add another outlet in the middle for electric FP? We'd have to move the table and the chandy down toward the stairs a bit, the lower shelf on the mantel is 12" deep, I have 20" from wall to back of chair right now, 12" from wall to edge of rug. It really could help disguise the off-center sconce locations (with a little bit wider trim but it needs to be trimmed out after installation to hide screws - can see holes where it used to be installed). MBR is still a possibility - I always wanted a FP (would have to be electric) in the BR. Might be hard to get up the stairs at 80" tall. I just want it! It's got so much character, it has some scratches (incl 1 on the mirror) but it hasn't been stripped and refinished to look all shiny and new. Doesn't look bad for its age (unknown, but old), I'd leave it alone....See MoreWhat would you put up here?
Comments (25)If I wanted no cabinets, I would not have framed in the fridge. Now it has been done, I would carry it all the way to the ceiling. Most art work on the back wall has to be under glass or you have to be lucky that nothing wet ever hits it and that it can take the steam that may appear in your kitchen from time to time. You could do a wall mural, a large mosaic, melted glass, stsined glass, artfully arranged shelves of cookbooks and pretty kitchen items.......See MoreWould you put windows here?
Comments (50)Jodie White Designs - I often keep choosing the same decor and colors so thank you for suggesting something outside of my zone! Going shopping on Sunday and will let you know what I find! JAN MOYER - Lamps ordered! I thought the ones you posted were smaller than what I have but they aren't - hopefully they aren't too large. Do you think I need 3 curtain panels on each side of the large slider? Or would two be enough? And just one panel on each side of smaller slider? Or? jslazart - Thank you!...See MoreUser
