White base boards, doors, door frames, but wood windows?
Comments (7)LOL I figured photos would probably be needed, I'm not great at explanations. This is the hallway, the pic doesn't show all the doors, the darkness of the trim just really got to me after 5 years and the doors/door trim aren't in the greatest condition, the house was built in 1966, we are the second owners, most of the house is still in it's original built state. The trim and doors have a lot of scratches and poly drips from whoever originally finished them. The dining room area, after we installed and finished the hardwood floors, the floors have evened out a lot since this pic which I'm kind of sad about. What the windows look like up close. This is an old photo of the living room area after we moved in, you can see the size of the windows are really nice. This is a mock up of the living room/entry room space and shows sort of the built in plans between the two rooms that will serve as storage and separation in place of the common railing that is used in splits, most of the storage is on the entry side (which is how we wanted it) Built ins will be white with a wood top to match the floors. We're no longer going with the planks on the ceiling or all the way up the entry wall instead we're thinking a white thin depth coffered ceiling to hide the swirls (that I'm not a fan of) and wainscoting only in the small entry area underneath the built ins and around the front door going down the steps to the lower lever. Last two pics are the start of building the built ins. Two closed cabinets on each side with the middle one being open shelves....See MoreMolding options when window is close to door
Comments (1)The only thing I can think of is the door has no casing. Finish the windows the same…focal point…and diminish the importance of the door....See MoreWindow replacement: wood vs vinyl options
Comments (4)Thanks, Todd. The Vytex quotes did include the exterior color of my choice My understanding is that the original trim will remain, but I may not be clear on the extent of the term "trim" The Marvin quote includes painting One additional issue is the upcharge for laminated glass on the Marvins--$500 per window. Is this reasonable? The Vytex quotes include laminated glass for 3 upstairs windows and any additional laminated glass is only $150/window. I think i would also like laminated glass for my 3 street-facing kitchen windows, so that is an additional consideration. Re whether it worth the money---I really don't have a sense of the aesthetic differences between them. I'm also concerned about reading that the Marvin windows only have a 10 year warranty on the wood, which seems to run counter to the claims that wood windows will last many years. Also, I can't find any air infiltration numbers on the Marvins. The U factor and other specs seem competitive with the Vytex....See MoreSupport options for wood bar across low windows?
Comments (11)Well for kitchen workspace - like Verbo said - you’d want that in your actual work zone and you’d want it to be deep enough to actually work at (looks maybe 12” deep?) This looks more like a place to just place things like pots of herbs, etc. you’d have to post the whole plan to get better recommendations but based on what I see I say it doesn’t work visually or functionally....See MoreQWD-VA
