Show and Tell! Unique features in your home
Comments (84)We have a chain link corner kennel in our garage for when we need to put our Lab out of harms way (like trees getting cut down or deliveries being made). We made our three car garage larger pre-construction. Next house, DH wants it even bigger. There is plenty of room to open doors to all vehicles at one time, no posts, etc. I had a sliding screen (3 panels) made to cover the TV when not in use (aka anytime DH is not home). The door to the right of FP holds DISH equipment, DVR, DVDs, etc. It was made from a wood and tin shutter I purchased at a local antique store. We have a lot of copper inside and out. Laundry room backsplash and pine cupboard in kitchen have copper sheeting backsplash. It was also used on the powder room ceiling with cedar beams. Custom dog gate made from old wood and copper piping. We have grandchildren now so it stays closed all the time. It folds against the wall when not in use: We also used copper pipes outside. DH will be redoing the open portion of the back veranda soon. (Love my porch swing bed!) We have an Ann Sack's Onzen tub (they call it by a different name now) in the MBath. It's about 4ft square and 32" deep. Two built-in seats at different heights. Nice for soaking. Ours is jetted, but we did not get a heater. DH insulted the area well before installation so the heater is not needed or missed. Instead of a built-in vanity, I opted for a faux bamboo piece. Our most unique feature is our English kitchen. I am still in love with it after 8 years, next week:...See MoreA unique kitchen in a unique house...
Comments (23)I was struggling to pinpoint my issue with the kitchen. It's the slug/leech factor--you all nailed it! Thanks, Nikoleta, for posting the link with the additional pics. It was fun to see more of this house. I love the front door! I was struck, however, how some items seemed so out of place. That very traditional dining room furniture, for instance, doesn't belong at all. In the very interesting bathroom, the basic, boring white toilet looks odd. I do hope they find a buyer who will appreciate all the quirks. This house takes "thinking outside the box" to a whole new level!...See MoreExterior of home needs character
Comments (48)I like the hip roof because it makes my house look more finished/'calm'... LOL..... I am okay with a nice gable over a front porch with hip roofs on the side. Others like gables because it creates more attic space for storage, esp. if you want to finish out the attic with a floor....other's have a theory the attic space is not as hot in the summer with gables and vents on the eaves...I have seen homes that are 20/25 feet wide on the north and 30 feet wide on the south, with hips on the sides and 3 or 4 gables on the front of various widths at the base over each room that has 3 outside walls??.... and they just make a very chunky looking house with every offset, another gabled roof of a different dimension. The less offsets on your foundation, makes for more efficient carpenter work and material use.. the same on your roofline..which the theory used to be...put more money available to spend inside the house, or less money to borrow to finish the home? I also, don't care for large windows in a garage or in the garage door. I just don't care for my car to be visible, inside my garage. And I like having that water heater closet in the garage with a circulation pump that I can turn off or on, to get water faster to the bath or kitchen areas as needed. The gas water heater, keeps my garage above freezing in winter, as my garage door is insulated. And the concrete is 2 feet high before the interior walls begins so water will not damage the wood paneling if the water heater leaks..as someone earlier here stated.....See MoreBuilding a custom home and went unique with color! what do u think

4 years agoI ordered from this store in Etsy for my address...I love it! They have lots of different options. I ordered the one that has “Wheeler” at the street address, but had mine centered because of where I placed it.

4 years agoIn that tight space, I think a ceiling mounted light that didn't show from the street would be better ... so you see just the light effect, not the source.
Two possibilities for number locations:
Regular numbers could be individual or plaque mounted.
