"Open shelving" Gone Wrong! Need creative ideas for eyesore for resale
Comments (43)Update! Just wanted to post a quick update. I took most of your advice and didn't sweat it, bought baskets and wine rack to stage the kitchen. My moms house sold in less than a week on the market! It settled last week...Bittersweet. But wanted to just show what I did, thanks everyone :)...See MoreKitchen cabinets -- glass doors and open shelves
Comments (16)For heavens sake. Just shorten the cabinets over the sink, and make them ALL glass doors No solid doors) on that sink side. Uppers are only good for glasses and dishes anyway. Be neat. You don't need to recess them, just shorten over the sink. Yes it's done all the time. Nobody has gone to ER for the concussion that has not happened. If they are all same glass front? You won't be counting the inches in width left, right center whatever. Or............... use a 33 inch sink base, 18 inch Bosch DW, and have 9 inches to your symmetry issue added left db and upper cabinet. And I'd still do all glass doors, and shorten those over the 33 sink base. The 6 inch loss of DW sizing ? No big deal. Most folks hardly notice. Hand wash the bulky pans. And a 33 inch sink base will take a very decent single bowl sink....See MoreSectional Couch vs. Small Living Room w/ Fireplace -- ANY IDEAS??
Comments (4)The TV cables can be moved. The cost is negligible. Perhaps you can pay for it and have it deducted from your rent. Or maybe the owner will share the cost. I'd like you to consider this arrangement. It highlights the fireplace as the rightful focal point, provides a "foyer" and a conversational grouping. Play around with it and see what you think....See MoreKitchen Before After, Quartz, Painted Cabinets, Open Shelving
Comments (56)@annapacificnw, can I ask what grout/color you used? I plan to do a 3x12 subway tile and want a contrasting grout. Yours seems nice and subtle but I can still see the contrast. Also, totally unrelated to your kitchen, I was considering a tufted sofa similar to yours. I was wondering how comfortable they are. I love how they look but was wondering if the backs are stiff? The less cushions my kids have to pull off and get all over the floor the better though!...See MoreVictor Hoffman
