Different woods in adjacent rooms
Comments (0)I am looking for opinions on using different woods/widths in adjacent rooms. We currently have 2 1/4" red oak floors in our kitchen, front hall and dining room. The DR and FH are adjacent to the kitchen. We are doing a full kitchen re-model and we would like to do a 3 1/4" Brazilian Walnut in the kitchen but we are worried about how it would look up against the Red Oak in the 2 open doorways. Has anybody done anything similar? Any advice, opinions and/or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!...See Moretwo different woods in two different rooms
Comments (4)In the past year or two, we have experienced more people putting in Cork floorings in the kitchen while keep other floor coverings in other rooms. You may consider the same. It is comfortable and durable. Here are some pics to share.

Comments (10)Somewhere in time a bedroom SET was designed with a place for him and a place for her to store clothes in drawers. Because furniture manufacturers sell suits this way does not mean ya have to live with their vision. Get the pieces that will service your needs. I find the newer "dressing room/closets" very curious. They seem to go along with not having "dressers" of any sort. I wonder at why? What are people using their bedrooms for if not for dressing/ sleeping and why is a dresser such an eyesore to have? I do not comprehend reading/lounging in a far off room when I have spent much time and effort to make my living room/family rooms welcoming and comfortable. JMHO. But I digress...GET WHAT YOU WANT!!...See MoreCovered patio with two story windows - will it look okay?
Comments (11)Consider building building your patio the width of and in front of the roof line on the LEFT with a "greenhouse/sunroom" (clear or semiclear) roof that is above your upstairs windows but beneath your roofline. You could have a gentle slope to the roof to move rainwater away from the house but your patio roof would not need to be square or rectangle; instead, you could create the shape of five sides of an octagon. You could have a ridge in the center of the patio roof closest to the house -- a ridge parallel to the two sides of the patio roof that are at a right angle to the house -- sloping the patio roof to left and right of that ridge. Then you could use the end of the ridge farther from the house as a center point from which you could slope the roof in three directions forming the three other sides of the octagon shaped patio roof....See MoreCarrie B
