Miracle Flowers... (or weeds if you don't like them)
Comments (2)I just discovered them. I put some of the trailing kind in the garden and kept some in a hanging basket. I like plants that volunteer. So, that's good news to me....See MoreWood-Look Tile ... I feel like it’s one of those things...
Comments (26)I don’t think wood tile is comparable to other types of tile (or tile sizes) in terms of how likely it is to become dated. Salt and pepper granite tile is the only other kind of tile I automatically react negatively to. And that’s not really dated, it’s just harsh-looking and out of place in most settings. People may say they are sick of subway tile, but it’s popular for a reason. Terrazzo was almost unheard of for ages, and it made a huge comeback. I’m about to install terra cotta tile in a kitchen. It’s already dated and a lot of people hate it. I really wanted a patterned cement tile, but decided against that. Not because it’s trendy and might become dated (I already have 100 year-old cement tile in another room), but because it was too bold for a partially open kitchen and would have contrasted too much with the adjacent wood floors. While I realize terra cotta is “dated,” I’m convinced it’s appropriate in my setting. What I would NOT Install is fake terra cotta. In a laundry room or basement, maybe. But kitchens get more focus, and I wanted a floor that seemed like it could have been original. Did I do the same with the appliances? Of course not, people don’t have 100 year old kitchen appliances. Trying to approximate that would look ridiculous. I feel similarly about wood tile. I don’t even like engineered wood floors with details like beveled edges or intentional distressing, but I don’t hate them and I think sometimes they look very nice (and suspect other times I can’t tell)....See MoreSneak Peak, it’s starting to look like a kitchen!
Comments (17)@Liz yes, those are 3” fillers that have mitered face trim pieces on them. It is a dead space, as I didn’t want to give up drawer space on the right or trash pull out on the left. I have a walk in pantry at the other end of the kitchen, so ai wasn’t desperate to use it for storage with a Susan. I actually had planned to open up that dead space from the dining room side and installing a wine cooler, but that plan has been shelved for now. Here is that corner with the fillers. I happen to have a picture....See MoreDoes this range position look like it’s way too high for the counter?
Comments (2)I have a pro style range and mine is flush with my counters, however I did it all at the same time so they customized the cabinets based on the measurements. To me it seems high, but not sure what you can do now....See Moreskmom
