kitchen design challenge--anyone want to play?
Comments (5)Ok, thanks. i have read the instructions and am working on learning how to draw and post my drawings. i'm really good at somethings, but not that, at all! my drawings are on graph paper and pretty well fleshed out, and assumably i can someday figure out how to get the drawings into the computer and then uploaded to here. someday... meanwhile, this is just for fun, i wanted to see what others would come up with in this space. specifically, i do want to preserve the sightline of the water, so lower cabs only on the eastern wall and northeast corner. windows above those cabs. the west wall faces the firewood storage, so no windows needed there. the kitchen will have a big fireplace in which dh can bake pies and such, and our big farm table will be in front of it. he likes to sit at the table to do his prep, and we all gather around him and keep him company while helping. he has a 36" vulcan range, a commercial hood, restaurant sink station (it's a free standing huge stainless sink he prefers to use for prep and pots). dishes and dw will go in a pantry, sort of like willows--(only wider and more shallow--think 8' wide by 4' deep).) um, what else can i tell you? wish to HECK!!!! i knew how to post my dang drawings for you!!!! this would be so much easier!!...See MoreAnyone want to help my rearrange my living room?
Comments (29)Hello Segbrown of the Awesome Kitchen. Your kitchen contains the spirit of one of my unrealized kitchens! I have one of your same backsplash tiles, a sample, which I meant to use but the years crept by and that kitchen didn't happen. Back to your seating area. I was admiring your ottoman/table only to see it disappear in your final arrangement. As I am thinking about replacing my coffee table with such a foot-ready rest, I have to ask why you got rid of yours? Surely the feet in your house want a rest when tv watching? I am in the market for swivel/s. What brand/model are yours? Are you happy with them? Much obliged if you come back to comment. I've enjoyed every bit of your house that you've shared....See MoreAnyone want to design my pantry?
Comments (7)With 1 X 12s or with plywood, I would divide the space vertically into four segments. I would put standards and clips on both sides of each space and cut shelves to fit. Then I would place the shelves where I needed them. I would NOT do fixed horizontal shelves. Not ever. Much more efficient to be able to adjust shelves vertically as needed to eliminate wasted space. Look at pictures of pantries and see how many have inches of wasted space along the tops of the shelves. And much more efficient to able to adjust each segment independently....See MoreAnyone build the Aspen house plan by Archival Designs?
Comments (16)Oh, it's not just the horrid outside. Inside, everything funnels through the working areas of the atrocious kitchen. The secondary bedrooms are relegated to behind the kitchen, next to laundry and garage. Really? Is that where YOU'D want to be? Guests who arrive in the driveway enter...where? In the side door? And it's not a pleasant guest entrance. Or walk aaaallllthe way around the garage to the front door? Unless you add a circle drive in front. The side entrance offers only a tiny place to drop backpacks, rain gear, etc. And the lucky occupants of the bedrooms get to see it as they walk out the bedroom. The FR offers no easy way to place furniture. BR 2 shares its bathroom with...everyone else? But it's a jack-n-Jill. The occupant will lock the doors, and unlock only one of them, leaving someone out hopping on one foot later. people on the FR can see into a MBR, just a bit, but still. The MBA has a lot of wasted space in the middle but no storage, and an odd closet, and they want the ironing board in the doorway? There's really not a lot of storage at all, for seasonal items or activities, unless you use the extra garage for that. i do like the game room and one-car garage, that could be handy. Keep looking! You can find better!...See Morekalenangel
