Please help me pick glass pattern for French door and pantry cabi
Comments (7)NYCbluedevil, I agree that I do not want a clown car kitchen! Nancy, our lighting is actually simpler than what is shown, but I agree we do have a lot going on. I like plain frosted glass, but my designer warned me that texture tends to show marks easily if anything damp or greasy touches the surface and is hard to keep clean looking. Have you had experience with frosted glass? Michoumonster, our exterior door, whatever design we pick, will be laminated to meet local energy codes. I had not thought about that for the pantry. The Paris is cool looking (and my favorite city) but not quite opaque enough. Camphappy, that is a good point about tempered glass - thanks for the reminder. Localeater, that is an interesting idea - I will run it by my designer. I can picture doing a vertical strip of rectangles and squares maybe 1/3 of the way over from one side, with a very opaque glass on one side of the line and a less opaque glass on the other side. The more opaque glass could be repeated on the pantry doors to tie the elements together. DH and I picked out a few glass textures we think might work. What do you think of these? If we pick a pattern with lines/ridges, do you think vertical or horizontal would be better?

Comments (4)IMO you need to address the stairs to the entrance. It doesn't look appropriate. Kind of cartoonish storybook in style Maybe limestone steps with stacked stone or stucco walls on the landing....See MoreKitchen rug challenge ... colors? pattern?
Comments (6)You need some texture, and color. Sisal braided oval with color banding- same style in a runner. I would go red, but you need to duplicate what ever color you choose. The human eye likes to 'bounce' around, high to low ( or any combo.) Pick up the choice color in art, candle sticks, runners etc. Your hitchcock chairs, table base side table are leading in only one direction right now. Runner size choices are few. Assumption is you have between 36-42" in the galley? Oval size rugs are plentiful. Chose large enough to have at least the front legs of the buffet on the rug. good luck....See Morehosta_123
