Help! I need to redo my wall o'windows...soon!
Comments (5)Quite a conundrum! Have you spoken to your local window guys to find out what's available? I have in-swing andersen doors in several rooms, and they seem to seal shut nicely. But they originally came in without the ordered Prarie style grids, and it took a couple months to get that straightened out. So if you want anything custom, you may have to have the broken one boarded up for a considerable period... My doors aren't paired, but my sister has an andersen set that is. One panel comes in, the other goes out. She'd have prefered both going out, but then the snow can block them from opening. The in-swings eat a huuuuuge amount of floorspace, though: it looks like your room would be pretty compromised if you couldn't put any furniture within 3 feet of those windows....See MoreI'd like to put my chair order in today, I need some help please
Comments (16)Lyfia, all great points you brought up, it really helps me plan and think. Honestly we have no set time frame for having this project done, since we have an up and running kitchen in the other part of the house and we are working on the new kitchen as time allows. I spent part of this week filling every little brad hole with putty and sanding everything. This weekend we should get a primer on and if dry time allows the walls and ceilings painted. I think we are at the point we are going to put in the cabinet order too. We still have the floor to put down, sand and seal. Tile the whole range wall, put up shelves. The wiring is done, we still need to run plumbing .. which means going under the house in the Summer .. YIKES! We live in copperhead country, not a fun prospect. Last year my DH got bit, we were very fortunate it was a 'dry bite' though! Valinsv, thanks for the help and suggestions, they are very helpful! Les, I love those 50's dinette chairs and if I was going to do a booth, I'd be all over them. I honestly don't think with a very rustic table I'd be happy with them ... even though they look super cushy to sit on. :) If I do go with these chairs I'd have seat pads made for them. I still haven't put my chair order in, I was all ready to go, now I'm hemming and hawing over details again. Part of me wants to go this way, part can really see everyone sacked out in a comfy booth and chairs playing board games and drinking coco. I know that everyone brought up very valid reasons to stay away from a booth, like people being inconvenienced by having to move to let the inside people out, etc. The thing is though we don't have those types of sit down and eat parties where I see it being a problem. When we entertain adults it's normally in a relaxed, casual setting outside on the deck or around the pool area, where we have large tables in each area. When it's just the five of us here, there would be plenty of seating that we could all spread out. I'm lucky that my girls really do get along, there is not alot of she's looking at me, touching me, breathing my air problems. *LOL* I grew up with 3 siblings, I know how that goes, we spent a lot of time bickering. ;) When it's the kids and their friends having snacks, I don't see it being a problem where the kids would feel inconvenienced. So in short I'm still stuck, I think! *LOL* Sometimes I can see right away the path I want to follow, sometimes I start second guessing myself. *sigh* Normally my Husband will chime in with his feeling on the matter and we'll work it out in a way that we are both relatively happy .. this time he really doesn't seem to care, well other than wanting me to make a plan so we know how to finish the room. ;)...See MoreI would like to stagger my cabinets but need suggestions.
Comments (14)I wouldn NOT want to make the cooking center such a focal point with an OTR microwave there. It just doesn't look appropriate. I'm not a fan of OTR micros in general, as they are ineffective and a safety hazard. Is there some place else for the MW so that you can have a real hood? You are venting externally at least, aren't you? With 9' ceilings, you can use 96" as your upper alignment height with a substantial crown molding and still have room for the staggared height and depth with a display space above all of the cabinets. For your fridge "box", if you are using a regular depth fridge and not counter depth, use blocking to have them pull the over the fridge cabinet out by at least 6" and order extra deep side panels and trim it out to really and fully conceal the sides of the fridge. If you don't do this, you'll have 6" or more of the side of your fridge exposed outside of the box, which really defeats the purpose of creating it in the first place. Be sure to work with your designer about the proper support of such a large cabinet if you don't have a wall next to the fridge with which to attach the cabinet to....See MoreI need help w closet!!!!!

Comments (2)Adding that archway would completely mess up the living room layout. Furniture arrangements would become very difficult and it would become a traffic path. Maybe consider shortening the wall, so keep the bench and closet, but lose the second smaller coat closer and maybe even shorten the other stuff. It will still create an entry way and block sound from the living room but it wouldn't create a super long closed in hallway. You may want to also reconsider the kitchen area. That pantry is way too far away to be useful and the dining room looks tight once you account for all of the traffic paths....See Moremama goose_gw zn6OH
