What arte the most popular GW kitchen elements right NOW?
Comments (23)White cabinets, shaker style, subway tile backsplash, lots of drawers, one large sink, intelligently placed prep sink, island in contrasting colour/stain, stainless appliances. I reading more of a mix for counters - granite still predominates, but man-made quartz quite popular here, as is marble of course. And there are a few of us here pushing the white/grey quartzite option too. Could Redroze's kitchen be the "IT" gardenweb kitchen?? I think overall the popular trend here is light, clean and classy. The most popular elements seem to be building blocks for what some people are calling a 'transitional' kitchen - essentially contemporary (in a temporal sense) with nods to tradition and a touch of modern design. It is a pretty, cheerful and bright mix altogether I think. On the no upper cabinets issue - this definitely isn't a major trend here on GW. But, having said that, I think it is a natural part of that same light, clean airy kitchen that seems to be the prototype. In certain (many) kitchens storage demands means that uppers are a necessity - but you sure see a lot of glass and white uppers, another way of keeping the room open and airy feeling. On the dust issue for shelving in "no-uppers" kitchen, it depends. I have a wall with no uppers, with two shelves. I put frequently used glasses and bowls etc. on the shelf, plus a few display items that would have been out elsewhere in any case. At most it adds 90 seconds to my weekly (or biweekly) dusting regime, so a non-issue I think. Now I have seen pictures of kitchens with nothing but open shelves - that would be a dust nightmare I think. Interesting thread for sure!...See MoreArt & Crafts Kitchen Re-do
Comments (23)I would say the cabinets in the scullery are original and doubt there was an icebox. Also, don't think the window is original and no there is no door. It is quite cramped in there. But over the years something was done to that area as you can see the 1960s molding they put around the window and the opening. Well you guys have given me something to think about for sure. I was going to gut the left side so that I could put 30" cabinets on the right with a dishwasher, leaving the sink and the top cabinets on the right. In doing so we would be ruining the scullery by making it bigger making it part of the new kitchen??? Gosh I hate to ruin it. Regardless the bottom cabinets need to be replaced; they stink and are kinda soft they could be gumwood. The uppers appear to be some other kind of wood. Have a serious small budget however since we don't live in Buffalo - this is a second home. But there's no hurry. I will see if the Amish people can build some simple 24" cabinets to replace the bottoms. Maybe there's a way to get 24" cabinets at a reasonable cost? BTW the bigger room adjacent where we are going to put the appliances has so many window and door openings that it quite challenging to get many cabinets. A few around the stove and an island is about all we can do with it. I will post more pics and dimensions once we get back up there. Luckily for us, only the kitchen and bathroom require major work, the other rooms have been lived in quite lightly over the years. Amazing....See MoreKitchen design elements.

Comments (1)Tile breaks when it’s insufficiently supported. That’s a manufactured home’s stock in trade. It’s is not built to stick built standards of support and rigidity. Which is why they use vinyl and laminate in all of them. Choosing tile is setting yourself up for failure and additional expense to replace it all....See MoreArts and Crafts fireplace similar in design to the Prairie in Wayzata
Comments (25)the scale of living room wall where the fireplace is sits on is 26' of space next to 12'ft wide open concept dining area whihc include anther 10 foot of tall windows, followed by 15 open concept kitchen on the other side of the dining room. the area designated to the fireplace sits to the left of 2-6'4 x3' picture windows and the right of another 6'4"x3' then a 2' wall followed by 10' width of picture windows in the dining room. It is a very wide open area. So the fireplace shouldnt dwarf the width, but you are right I will need to make the scale the pictured fireplace shorterby 2'ft in heigth since by ceiling height is only 10'. I reach out to my builder. Thank you for clearing up that saved me a bunch of heart ache.Thank you Roy and Gillian!!...See Moreprillo
