The light up book cases are my favorite. I very much like the exterior, which to me is similar to a look called "Yankee modern", done by a firm I wanted to use when we were going to be doing a Beachhouse tear down. It's farmhouse but simplified. Particularly nice in this setting. The interior is a bit more Spartan then I might like but also very nice. Two washers and two dryers is something I always recommend. We have had two sets ever since we had children. In our last house they were all in the basement. In this house one set upstairs and once downstairs. In the scheme of things it's not a huge indulgence but it makes a very big difference in any young family. It strikes me as furnished just right actually. As for real life, not everybody stages before they photograph , for goodness sakes .... Heck if we make that a requirement we may never see some reveals!

dilly_dally, thanks so much for posting this! Lots of cool stuff there. Tell me, how pissed off would my husband be to come home this week if I took out my super ugly glass shower doors and walls and replaced it with this?

The advice to find an architect is good, though I may be biased. :) There are a number of things you can do now that will help you whether you choose to work with an architect or buy plans online: Get to know your site. Visit the site at different times of day. Observe where bad weather comes from? Where is the sun? Are there drainage challenges? What other homes are around? Get to know your needs and wants. Make a realistic list of the rooms you'd like to have and approximate sizes. A simple spreadsheet can help you stay on track. Also list desirable features. Get to know your lifestyle. Do you like or hate to cook? Are you a family that sits down to dinner together every night or are you a grab and go family that has 30,000 different activities to keep up with? What are your hobbies, needs for privacy/togetherness etc. Get to know your style. "Modern farmhouse" is a definite start but as Mark says it means very different things to different people. Pictures are a great way to communicate what you like and dislike. This pre-design homework will help you immensely with your project. Good luck!

So, can anybody else help Julie visualize a look by sharing photos of a vintage farmhouse style kitchen with any brand and any size of induction range? Alternately, can anybody think of any previous threads that have photos that might be helpful? Maybe, somebody has suggestions for a search string that could turn up those previous threads with photos? That said, I will also respond to the "duplicate post" accusation from a couple of posts up. It is misplaced. Unless you think other posters here don't need no stinkin' photos when you have expressed your verbal opinion on the looks? :>) Jokes aide, I'm the one who suggested this thread and I do not take the accusation lightly. I made the suggestion for a new thread in Julie's prior post because the prior post was specifically titled as being about 36" Wolf ranges. She received plenty of verbal opinions, but no response to her request for photos.to help her visualize a look in a kitchen that was styled like hers. I suggested that she might try looking for photos of other brands and sizes of induction ranges. I suggested a separate thread because it would reach a wider audience than a request buried in a thread seemingly limited to a couple of specific Wolf ranges. This is not a duplicate thread.
