KITCHEN DESIGN DILEMMA NIGHTMARE ****** HELP NEEDED PLEASE*****
Comments (13)Good points, I understand where you are coming from re: sink -stove - pivot.. I'll have to take another look at that, it's just all the photo's I like of kitchens seem to have this symmetrical look... lavender_lass What is 'P' 'R' and 'MW' I'm guessing Microwave for the third??? RE: Is there a Dining Room elsewhere or is the "nook" space the only table space? (It looks like there is no other table space.) There is no other dining space, this will be a 'walk - out' basement suite.. So as good as it gets.. plenty of space really for 2 beds.. Hoping if we aren't living in it to get a professional couple who need a spare bedroom or a couple with 1 child.... Would you be willing to consider moving the table to the left and utilizing as much of the bay space as possible for the Kitchen? Would you consider replacing them with windows that are 36" off the finished floor Ans: No, it wouldn't be cost effective for us to do that, we are already moving walls and doors around... Would you consider a banquette? Ans: I'm not sure what you mean.. How many seats does the table have to accommodate? Ans: Probably 4 - 6 at a cosy stretch...See MoreNeed help with adding kitchen island for my kitchen

Comments (4)@megs1030 The Kichler pendant in the picture is 15.75" Height x 10.50" Width. Island is 94"x 41" and ceiling height is 9 ft. Table is 48 in. This set will be replaced as well (the idea is to get something with a combination of white and brushed nickel or stainless still but same size). @acm Those look great. The island pendants and the nook light fixture are only 8 ft apart (from center to center). I'm wondering if switching from what I have now - mini pendants, 7" x 4" - to something much bigger as these Kichler ones (mentioned above) won't look too busy when combined with the nook. They look great but I don't mind finding something smaller if that is what it takes to bring the perfect balance....See MoreKitchen Renovations Floor Dilemma: DESIGN ADVICE NEEDED! HELP!!
Comments (5)What a disappointment about the flooring. If it were me, if having the molding was the only thing keeping me from moving forward with cabinet install while things get sorted out, I wouldn't let that stop me. I would think there could be an acceptable trim that would solve that issue. You already have 2 kinds of flooring coming together, I would not add a third. If you pulled out the foyer tile and ran that into the kitchen, that could work, but not adding an additional, different tile to the mix. If you must add tile in place of the wood, I'd find one that works with your cabinets (maybe something close to the color of the wood floors, but not wood look tile). Or maybe slate? Run it into the entry. I agree about rethinking the waterfall counter. It really doesn't appear to be suited to your style home. But if you decide to move forward with it, could you live with a temporary counter on the island until the floors are sorted out, then have the island finished? Lots of people live with plywood counters for a while, for a variety of reasons....See Moredamiarain
