Finished Kitchen - creamy farmhouse (or some such thing)
Comments (55)LakeGirl, the cabinets read ~soft~? Look at the picture with the library ladder. The sink and the fish platter are stark white. You can definitely see the difference between the cabinet color and the sink color. Can you see how the sink makes the counter look really gray and the wall look really yellow? The Creamy White just sort of softens the hues. So, I'm not sure how to answer your question. Yes, but no, not really. They mainly just look old in a well cared for sort of way. Another thing I will say about the creamy white as a trim color is that it seems to work with antiques and oriental rugs better than a stark white would. Hobokenkitchen, I love the honed quartzite. It is absolutely bulletproof. I didn't want any shiny surfaces, and to me the whites in the stone came out more when it ws honed. The honed Virginia Mist on the island is a little more tempermental. If you lay a stick of butter on it to soften, you will have a darker spot the shape of the stick of butter. It sops up oil. However, having had a few big parties over the holidays, with gravy, flaming baked alaskas, and whiskey sours christening it, all stains just become part of the story. A good scrub with a dishsoap and a scrubby sponge mellows the marks. For those hankering after a library ladder.My cabinet maker (Gary Luke at The Town Carpenter) made the ladder for me. He bought the hardware kit from the outfit linked below and used my flooring. He made sure to get an adjustable roller connection at the top, because the height needed for the bookshelf was different than the height neeeded to clear the counters on the lower cabinet. Here is a link that might be useful: rolling library ladder...See Moreexterior - modern farmhouse
Comments (3)Virgil Carter Fine Art - thank you, and yes! I need that arbor or trellis over the garage doors. I'm adding that to my list. Naf_Naf - thank you! I think I do like a richer tone like what you linked to. That house overall is beautiful. The only thing I didn't love about it was that there are many different colors of wood--rich red outside, light colored wood floors, etc. That being said, if I had the shower from that house, I'd probably be so happy I wouldn't notice the different wood stains....See MoreNew farmhouse landscape- front entry
Comments (3)Vstavay- thanks for this! I really like the evergreens, repetition and making that bed in front of the house much larger. I hadn't considered that. I'm not sure if we can put a tree on the left due to the cistern proximity, but we really could use one. Thanks again!...See MoreHome exterior help - Modern Farmhouse type style
Comments (32)Here's some information about sliding windows. In a storm the exposed track fills with water and if it doesn't drain fast enough water enters the house. I've seen it happen in a test chamber. The fact that they are cheap is not enough of a reason to put them in a house. And little burgers are known to cause indigestion. Life is not fair....See MoreEmbothrium
