help me identify this paint color!
Comments (18)I'm sitting at my computer looking into my kitchen at walls that look like an exact match to the picture on my screen. It is called soft silk from Kilz and they can color match it for you at SW or BM. ps- I have white cabs and trim and crown molding so I'm looking at it in the same type of surroundings!...See MoreBuilding New Home Help me Decide on Siding
Comments (59)artkillery, you changed the peak of the gable between your last post and the one at 9:13 am. If the second post is correct, I would change back to having the front gable in stucco and the two flanking masses all in stone. The reason is that if the gable does not reach very high, stone all the way up may make it look heavy and squat. I would ask about the roof pitch on that gable and only use the heavier material if it is higher, not lower. JMO! (But, I think whatever you do the house will look marvelous, we tend to obsess over the details here :)...See MoreMe again! DR chandy - help! : )
Comments (35)Thanks, Juju, SueB, I'd love to have you over for lunch. OldBat 2 be, those are very cool. Why does customized Scabetti sounds like it will rival the cost of a small domestic car. All, I have found someone to make my first choice for me. I am just unsure of size. But they say the chandy should be 75% of the table width. By that measure, what i think of as a behemoth, the original at 60x32x24, is less than 75% of either the W or L of our table, which is 54" by 113". I don't know, it seems like the size of 1st grader to me......See MoreKitchen Layout Feedback Needed...
Comments (14)@josh ct - thanks for the link to photos...good creative idea - I am just not sure it is me. I'll need to mull it over some more... @Lavender Lass - thank you for posting my plan in a much more helpful way...I am clearly new to posting anything on this forum and the image proved to be a bit of a challenge... Regarding Sarah's kitchen and the low window solution - very creative but a I am not sure about replicating the idea. One of the things that I like about the low window is what you see just as you walk up to the dining/kitchen level - beautiful old tall trees outside and flowers in the window boxes. My initial reaction is not to detract from it by putting a low cabinet/counter under the window... How do you feel about the idea of keeping the space open as I have it now? @rhome - many thanks for your note. I too thought of a prep sink on the island but then wanted the island to be very "clean looking" (i.e., no faucet sticking up) - and so we then decided on the prep sink on the fridge wall. We also thought that during parties that prep sink may be filled with ice and house bottles of bubbly or wine in an area that will be essentially a cocktail/wine area as that is the most accessible part of the kitchen for guests who will come up to the kitchen level. With that in mind I moved the ovens to the opposite side (very first draft had ovens on the side where the fridge is now; however the fridge was on the opposite side...) hoping to keep friends and family on the wine/fridge side as I work on the oven/cook top side. I also wanted a more "furniture" like look on the right side as you enter the kitchen - which called for the relocation of the ovens. Re: aisles - I have about 45-48" on each side, can move the island in a bit to make the space between cook top and island wide enough but convenient for the "pivot turns" I envision making there. Re: closet by the fridge - is a broom/stick vac/cleaning stuff closet ("Hazel closet" as we call it :) - so that I can quickly cleanup the first floor of the house withough havinig to drag cleaning supplies up and down the steps....See MoreSJ McCarthy
