Please help, taking out the bulkheads, should I keep the 30" cabinets?
Comments (6)If you were gonna keep 30" cabinets there would be no reason to remove the soffit. The whole point of a soffit is to not dust the tops of the upper. The whole point of removing it is to use 39" cabinets and 3" if crown to carry the installation to the ceiling....See MoreUghhh...still trying...should I take this wall out?
Comments (7)Functionally, I don't see the advantage. In what scenario does opening this up improve function? If folks are lounging and want to interact with someone at the dining table, they'll just hang in the living room. Removing the wall doesn't appear to improve the sight lines from your kitchen workspace into the rest of the house (I'm still SO bummed your husband said no to moving the kitchen over!) Most people tend to think removing walls is always good, but personally, I like the wall. It's great to be able to close off the kitchen and still have a place to hang out with the cook. Especially when you have kiddos and their noise carries throughout open concept home....See Morewindow Grids, leave them it take them out

Comments (48)Pondering your master bath again. Maybe the answer to shower entry is to have a free standing bath tub. It sure frees up floor space in both width & length directions over the typical “tub in a box” that the bigger tubs with tiled surrounds to support them take up. If you look at my pics, you’ll see one end of our slipper tub. it is a 6’ porcelain pedestal tub & not inexpensive - it was our splurge. But free standing tubs are popular & so many sizes, shapes & materials so all kinds of prices. just looking at your floor plan, imagining the space freed up with a free standing. A nice touch of luxury in a master bath too. We tiled our walls around the tub up to window height & the plumbing is in the narrow bump out under the window which I use as a shelf. You can see that in pic too....See MoreElizabeth B
