I'm in Napa for design a kitchen..but I need help for..
Comments (12)Hi Donna, no in that case is a white glossy laminate. But no matter whit finish of the cabinets (laminate, wood, lacquer) always the sun will effect the product. I had experience in painting cars and after 6 months the "code" from the factory to reproduce the color has to be adjusted because the sun change the color especially the red. luckily in that house they going to have the sunset coming from those windows....See MoreI need help on my kitchen design
Comments (5)I hope this picture helps-- there's an existing part of the house framed that includes the kitchen, table space, and great room and then there's an addition that will include the pantry, butler's pantry and dining room. I've tried to put the old floor plan together with the addition plan in this picture. Ignore the kitchen layout that is shown on here-- that's what the previous owners were going to do. We need a smaller island and room for a skinny harvest table with 6 chairs. We're moving 4 generations into this house, including a great-grandma who would never sit at an island to eat :) I've shortened the wall length of cabinets quite a bit to 16' long and moved the sink into the island to make the 3 spaces possible (kitchen, eating area, family room). Thanks!...See MoreI need help! Early Kitchen Design opinions needed
Comments (7)Practigal, the DW is one cabinet "south" away from the sink. I have no idea why there is a cabinet between but it's there, marked DW. It's possible the microwave is part of the DO stack. Rascal, do you plan a prep sink in the island? It would make your space more functional and give you a separate prep zone. This way you could have someone prepping, someone else cooking, someone else doing dishes, and someone else baking at the same time and they are all in their own zone. Without a prep sink, people would need to constantly walk over to the sink which adds unnecessary steps to prepping/cooking. And the DW should be right next to the sink....See MoreKitchen designers...I need your help with a refrigerator please!
Comments (6)Do you mean panel ready - i.e. one that would use the style of your cabinet doors? If so, both Jennair and Kitchenaid make a French Door model that is panel ready for about $3000 give or take. The cost is obviously more since you need to also purchase the panels from your cabinet supplier as well as door handles for some reason. They are also 72" high so they look more built in than other refrigerators which are shorter - I believe 69" is the normal height. If the reason you want a quiet front design, is because of the SS, then perhaps a panel ready would fill the bill. I have no real input on F&P except that when I was looking at refrigerators, the salesperson said to avoid because the service network wasn't stellar. That may or may not be a factor in your area....See MoreMiranda33
