XO everybody! Sis...See MoreDeb (momto4kids) I think I love you!! My swap box is here!
Comments (32)Whoo Hoo! David the party is Good Friday! Come on down! For the last few days I've had all my swap goodies on the island for all to see! I was putting them away last night and got a little sad thinking this swap is over. But then I looked at all my goodies again and I got happy! Deb, I'll think of you now evertime I bake cookies, make zest, grate cheese, prep seasonings, use a recipe out of 'the cookbook', baste the b-b-q, 'orka' the turkey ;-), have a hot handle on a pan...well, you get the idea! I'll think of you all the time! Thank you again, this was a lot of fun!...See Morei really think i have the final layout design here!
Comments (48)I am doing a similiar layout (but I would kill for a mudroom like you have). I have no design expertise, but I will tell you what I have decided. I have my one kitchen window in the same spot as yours and I too wanted a nice big span. I decided to go with a bay window which will give alot of light, but the angle will make it a bit less wide. Can you move your doorway to the DR to the right a bit so that the doorway will align with your kitchen aisle and create a corner of doors with your mudroom doorway? Can size of mudroom doorway be reduced as well? I would put a wall mounted bench along your half wall for table seating. This will give you more space as you do not have to allow room for chairs to push back against the half wall. Also, it will be easy to get in and out of a single bench, so the dreaded "stuck in the middle" drawback shouldn't be an issue. This configuration may allow you to get a slightly wider table and you can easily push the table against the wall when you need to. I dwelled alot on fridge placement. My KD insisted that left of the window was the only place for a fridge. Ultimately, while I like the convience that placement offers for proximity to sink and kitchen table, I did not like that this focal point spot in my kitchen would contain a big box. In my layout, the eye is drawn to the sink wall as yours will be. Be sure you are ok with this placement. Lastly, I too wanted to go with a cooktop and wall ovens, but I did not like the layout limitations that came along with this. I decided to do a 36" range instead. Why not do a 36, or even 42" professional range. It might work better for your layout. Good luck!...See MoreWirlpool Duet Question - I think I goofed up big-time.
Comments (3)I really hope my stupidness didn't break this machine. If it did, they must be more fragile that I thought. I don't know about your duet but I don't think I could harm mine... it puts up with A LOT! With 4 kids, 3 huge dogs and having a home like Grand Central Station, our Duet has washed many things, including things it probably shouldn't have, without any trouble. I always throw a couple of towels in when I do sheets-- to me is seems like it helps them NOT to get so tangled. My kids have washed heavy ATV riding clothes with tons of mud on them and have the caused the washer to take forever to balance itself but after it does, there doesn't seem to ever be any problem. So quit kicking yourself in the behind!! :) When we had a bunch of BBs go through our washer (dang teenagers!) my husband was able to use the service manual to repair it himself. He says it is the easiest appliance he has ever worked on... there isn't much to them. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Service Manuals...See MoreMichael
