Thoughts on subway tile going up entire wall
Comments (63)Sherriz. I absolutely love your kitchen design, color, lighting, faucet, hardware, hood! It is so so so beautiful. I was just in the Circa showroom drooling over your island lights. I wanted to use them in my upstairs hall but this size too large, and small too small. Perfection in your kitchen though. Love every square inch! Thanks for sharing this pic. I haven't been on GW in awhile so I missed your kitchen if you recently posted. awesome! Sandn, new glitch re: when tile goes in. My builder built a scaffolding over my soapstone so the tile guy wouldn't have to stand on stone, which would mean he will have to start 4 inches above the counter since this "thing" is screwed into the wall. I know GC meant well but it is too obtrusive to work around and tile person would have to come back and do the bottom section next day, adding another day to labor etc. So he is upcharging $400 for another day. Searching for another tile person and retro fitting the scaffold to work better. thanks y'all! d...See MoreFloating shelf installtion
Comments (2)We had a floating shelf installed over our buffet. It's a solid slab of black walnut, so we needed to make sure it was securely hung on the wall. DH and a contractor friend drove lag bolts into some of the studs, and then cut the heads off the bolts. They used a drill press to drill holes along one edge of the shelf (just slightly larger than the diameter of the lag bolts so they could slide the shelf onto them--about 1/16"-1/8" larger). Then they slid the shelf onto the headless lag bolts. The shelf isn't going anywhere (until we ever have to move, and then the bolts will be cut flush with the wall, and the wall will be spackled-over, and done)....See MoreFloating Shelf Placement Advice Sought From People Who Have Them
Comments (10)I could understand having one shelf that's easy to reach and clean but multiple shelves are just there to make some sort of design statement. I would rather see the beautiful tile than a cluttered wall that is in need of cleaning. I neglect my chimney hood because I don't feel like getting out the step stool. I would not want to face taking everything off the shelves to clean regularly. Come to think of it, the other thing I dread cleaning is my bookcase, which has pottery pieces along with books....See MoreFloating shelf between two cabinets, no drilling into tile
Comments (21)We figured however we put it into the cabinets, those holes are easier to fill than tile holes. I don't mean to be adversarial, but I disagree completely. Replacing a tile is a 15 minute and $15 DIY job, getting a paint and sheen match on cabinets is something I would not even try and I have years of experience doing it. I would just respray the entire sides of your cabinet as that would take 1/10th the time of trying to match them. However, the problem isn't drilling through your tile and that wouldn't work either. You need to accomplish what you want without drilling through the sides of your cabinets. Which can easily be done. You can make it look like it was a planned part of the kitchen and not an afterthought while preserving the sides of your cabinets. Or something like this.....See MoreNYCish
