Design help needed w/ peninsula plz!
Comments (4)How about pushing the island to the wall that will be removed and the up against the big wall. Still seating on 2 sides. Or, still move the island forward to d.r. wall, and then create an L, adding lower cabinets on the full wall side as well as the side facing the kitchen. I agree with your husband, don't get rid of island....See MoreI'm soo over this kitchen! Pls help me commit
Comments (46)The panel, bead to bead is just a tad over 16" wide. Yes stiles? (the space in between the beaded panels) is about 1.5". The (fluted) column width is 4" wide. I only added the fluted columns to island (after working w/ designer) since I had 1 fluted column in a clipped corner. It looked a bit lonely in the kitchen. Three fluted columns looked intentional; one looked like a mistake. Just my non-design opinion. It's kinda like the symmetry thing to me. I have 3 entrances/exits in small kitchen. You see the fluted columns when you enter via 2 of the entrances. My hood is a 36" by modernaire. Height is about 21". 34" off the countertop. We didn't want hood too high that it became ineffective, but did not want DH to bump his head. I notice Trevor Lawson has been on lately; he handles all Internet sales of the hood. I got the hood and exhaust guts thru him....See MoreAll Interior Designers... am I Overthinking...
Comments (38)tartanmeup... great article. I ended up hiring a designer which affirmed my original thoughts way back when... Everything is a domino effect and I’ve had my share of frustration but I think my ‘God-gut’ has always served me correctly on design. It’s coming together... look forward to seeing her interior!...See MoreOverthinking a decorative element that few would probably even have ..
Comments (57)Ha, Fori! But that makes it even more appropriate for the kitchen, doesn't it? 😁 Actually, that is the traditional bear fetish design, and the arrow is called the spirit line. I just ordered the bear in its largest size, in the copper vein finish. DH wanted input and he preferred the copper over the brighter colors, so that settled that. Anyway, I'm eager to receive the finished product and think it'll work well in the strange bit of over-cabinet wall space. Actually just changed the finish to translucent copper. So it'll be the bear in this finish:...See Moremama goose_gw zn6OH
