36" BS rangetop with cabinets pulled out 3"
Comments (20)>>>"So the 6" clearance is only for the back? I thought it might include the side since the gas flames are close to the counter tops. So if I need to put nonflammable material 6" below rangetop on the back wall, why don't I need to put 6" on the sides of the base cabinet next to the rangetop. "No. It applies to any vertical surface that is within six inces of the rangetop and which rises above the rangetop. Bear in mind the rule only applies to surfaces that are vertical AND above the rangetop. You don't worry about the side cabinets because they do not extend above the rangetop, at least you won't have any side cabinets within six inches of the sides of your rangetop. (Also note that the BS range must sit slightly above the countertop so the horizontal countertops will not count as "vertical surfaces above the rangetop." IIRC, the BS user manual says that the back and side trim must stand at least 11/16" above the countertop.) I suppose somebody somewhere might be silly enough to want to shoe-horn a 36-inch rangetop into a 36-inch wide alcove. It would not be somebody who wants to cook. Picture trying to cook on a rangetop that was on a shelf inside of a base cabinet. But, anybody silly enough to want that would most certainly have to extend the non-combustible side-wall coverings down six inches below the level of the cooktop. You, on the other hand, seem like a rational person who will want to have at least a foot or two of counter space on either side of your rangetop. So, you don't need to worry about the fireproofing on the sides. >>"I would do 36" wide SS up to the 42" vent hood."Might want to check into the kitchens forum on that. My inclination would be to make the backsplash as wide as the hood. I believe that there are some photos over there that might help you better visualize the design. ..."Will the people that make stainless steel backsplashes know what a fairing is? Will they know what I need?If you get the SS panel made for you at a metal shop, they could put it in a bender and bend the top 5 or 6 inches out about 3 inches. (The exact dimension will be the distance between the back side of the bottom of your rangehood and the wall behind the rangetop.) Your cabinet guy or any reasonably handy person could make a small triangular frame to sit on the wall behind the bent piece to provide attachment as well as keeping it braced for cleaning and such. I've seen photos of fairings here somewhere but cannot locate them just now. Try Kaseki's clippings page and also search the kitchens forum.

Comments (23)Lyfia, I thought about your great idea and stood there and sized up the situation. I think that is beyond my meager capabilities and the chair rail would come right in the middle of it. I wish I'd thought of it before I put up the wainscoting, and maybe then I'd have had a fighting chance at it, but not now. Lukkirish, I will, thanks. Here is what keeps haunting me about this job. I have a leftover (from previous home) partial roll of wallpaper here that I adore, that looks fab with the Mucha. It's an arts and crafts pattern. I just keep coming back to wanting to use this paper. [](http://tinypic.com?ref=2woja78) The problem is, I don't have enough of it for the job, even with not going over the bathtub area. I have looked and looked and can't find anything out there like it. So the question is, could I put up narrow margin molding frames on the upper walls and put this paper inside them, then paint the paper's background color on the rest of the wall? Or the lighter beige\-peach featured in the first picture here? Or with the wainscoting would that look too choppy? Here is an example of a framed wallpaper panel: [](http://tinypic.com?ref=vkxae) What if I did it ONLY behind the Mucha and nowhere else in the room? What do you think?...See MoreDo you have a pull out faucet?
Comments (26)I have a Kohler pull down. You don't have to keep the button pushed in to spray. There's also a feature that allows you to temporarily stop the flow of water by holding in a button, very handy if you're pulling the faucet over to the counter to fill something up and don't want water flowing the whole time. I love it. It wasn't super expensive. I wasn't sure about the high arch profile of this faucet, but it sure provides a lot of maneuvering room beneath it for large pots. It will also swivel out of the way. I haven't checked the features in the link, but I assume the current model is the same as mine.

Comments (6)Dh put our IKEA cabinets together for our laundry room. I believe the hinges are specific to the IKEA doors which have indentations for the hinges to snap into (no screws.) I think you'd have a hard time using an IKEA hinge on a non-IKEA door (unless someone was able to rout out the specific spots.) We used wider opening hinges on cabinets with pullouts. I'm linking to IKEA hinges below. The last one opens wider than the 2 sets just before it. Ditto what scrappy25 says about separate pull outs vs one big pull out. My advice is to really think about the cabinets objectively rather than being swayed by something that seems cool. We have 2 tall IKEA cabinets in our laundry room. Both are 15 in. wide and 24 in. deep. I was sure I wanted the regular pull out and the cleaning pull until it came time to actually purchase them. Then when I thought about the advantages/disadvantages I totally changed my mind. For the storage cabinet I realized I wanted the full front on view that the door and individual pull outs provided. I didn't want to have a big panel in my face as I pulled open the shelves. I wanted to be able to place the shelves where I decided rather than having some predetermined. I didn't want to have to step to the side to view the contents. I didn't want to have to pull out something weighty to access one item. As far as the cleaning cabinet went I realized that grabbing items out of it was easy without the pull out. I preferred storing our vacuum on the sturdy floor instead of a pull out shelf. We ended up leaving the cabinet empty and then we mounted a vacuum hose holder on one side of the cabinet and a small pull out on the other side for cleaning supplies and vacuum parts. I'm very happy with it--and again, I'm glad I don't have a large pull out panel I have to work around. I prefer configuring cabinets myself than having a less flexible set up. When deciding on the side to put the hinges, if you go with the door, make sure the fridge won't block your ability to open the door wide enough for the pull outs.
