Built-in corner cabinets in dining room or dining area
Comments (6)annab6...I was looking at corner cabinets after reading this thread. Are yours flush with the wall? I found an example of one that looks like what you might find in an old house. (See link) It's sort of a black and white rendition but looks like it's treated like the trim. I love built-ins and I love corner cabinets so your thread got me looking at them :-) Thanks monablair :-) I think my builder thought I was nuts when I said I wanted cabinets the whole width of the room. He kept saying SHOW me what you want so DH and I drew these one night on a napkin when eating and talking about it at Chili's...lol. We still laugh about our napkin drawing I handed the builder. Here is a link that might be useful: Corner Cabinet...See MoreKitchen,Work Kitchen,Laundry,Dining area Layout
Comments (8)Hello Everyone. I appreciate your feedback very much. Thank you. To answer your question. -Shape of the plot is triangular. We know it is not ideal and we have to work with it. House is 5.75 meters wide x 16.51 meters long. House is in the city. We will be the only house in radios 2KM who will have carport on their property. -2 kitchens, I kind of like the idea to have preparation kitchen, where I have all my accessories (kitchen aid) reachable. I do make my own bread, pasta, mince meat...etc -3 as you can see we do not have outdoor space. So we are trying to make something from nothing. Use it as well as we can. We used Houzz idea to cover the patio to create shield against sun and rain. (heat window) -4 work Kitchen area will not have windows only sky light. And work kitchen will have only small window or door from Carport. Laundry, (Mud room) Washing and drying clothes, storage...etc and will most likely take of shoes in this area. Work kitchen. We bring shopping and store it here. Kitchen (stuff that needs to go to fridge will end up here) another version -5 so what now guys? any ideas for improvement?...See MoreComplete gut kitchen, dining, breakfast nook - layout advice
Comments (1)Why do you need two different eating areas? Can you draw out a floor plan of your full space including the rest of the floor including the laundry room since that's important....See MoreFloor plan advice... Kitchen layout. Cathedral ceiling advice.
Comments (55)I think the back of the house could use a little dimension...it all seems a little flat right now and not sure how that will look from the exterior? I don’t know if there’s any specific nice view out the back that you want to preserve/enhance, but having 1-2 bump outs might be nice. They could also get you some new windows in different directions, bringing in some different light. For example, you could bump out your living room so it’s not in a flat plane with the rest of the house. If your living room currently has a western exposure (I forget what the orientation is), you could then get north and south exposure by adding windows along the sides of the bump out. You could maybe even add some doors to the outside on the side of the bump out so you don’t have to squeeze by the dining table to access the sliding door - that’s how my house is currently and it is sort of annoying sometimes. I’m not an architect, so I don’t know the term for it, but adding a little dimension along the back might be good, unless you’re going for a super formal symmetrical aesthetic, which I don’t think you are....See Moreerivers419
