Making final decisions... having a hard time - any advice??
Comments (7)R/F: I'm partial to SZ, having had great performance with multiple units (in multiple houses) over many years, & have SZ in our new kitchen. Beverage Center: have you looked at the Monogram one? Great looking & racked well. We ultimately went with Monogram refrigerator drawers because we wanted food storage capability too. Beverage centers don't get cold enough to safely store food. Range: I was impressed with Monogram, never could see a BlueStar in our area. Both the Monogram & the BlueStar have the power you need, so the slow simmer should be your main decider. If both are satisfactory to you, then it's down to your decision between electric or gas oven. (We chose a DCS all gas 36" range, all burners, because of our wiring and we also have an electric wall oven. It can do low simmer without a diffuser. The infrared broiler in our range is more important to us than the lack of self-cleaning, and the oven can switch to convection.) DW: We've had KitchenAid & it's good, much better than the JennAir it replaced. We have Miele now, which cleans better than our KA and is much quieter. Faucet: We have KWC Domo & love it. We have the side control pullout version on our main sink, and the top control pullout version on our prep sink. Microwave: I'd prefer a drawer in an island....See MoreDecision, Decisions, Decision, aka, Countertop Advice Needed
Comments (5)Tropic brown, tan brown are two others. There are very dark golds like Juparana Tobacco or Paradiso which might work. You might also consider something like teak wood. Etching leaves white marks. On a brown marble it will be very visible. For fun, I got a two buck pink marble tile from the box store and had "science" when I was trying to decide about counters. Science consisted of pouring a small qty of lemon-lime soda on a bit of the marble and seeing if I could get it off before it etched. The answer was NO! I would suggest you spend a couple bucks to get a tile similar to what you want to use and have your own science project....See MoreContigency offer...their house is under contract
Comments (12)your situation is that the buyer's home is already under contract and is scheduled to close in weeks. that is a lot better situation for you compared to buyer simply placing their home on the market. They already have a buyer. Now it is just a matter of the sale going through. what are the chances that the deal falls through...maybe 35% chance it falls through? I normally don't like a contingnecy. However, in your situation, it is only 6 weeks away and there is already a contract on the home in question. I would go with it if i was in your shoes. You can schedule closing for your place for the day after closing for the buyers's home. Worse case, the buyers sale falls through. This could occur in a week or in 6 weeks. But there is better than 50% chance that the buyers sale does NOT fall through. Also keep in mind if you decide to reject this offer, then any future buyers might have issues that cause your sale to fall through, even if there is no home sale contingency. In your case, I would go with the bird in the hand and take the risk and plan your closing 6 weeks out. the only reason I suggest this is because they already have a buyer and a scheduled closing date. This is HUGE....See MoreContract on small cottage.. need advice on back of house..
Comments (12)I have one that lives on her own and goes to college and one 16.. so we got rid of our house since we will be empty nesters soon. The house that I just sold was in the woods so we didn't use the backyard much. I love gardening and working in the yard, that's what sold us on this little place. It's so tiny inside but the outside is heaven! When I get back over there I will get some better pics. Oh and I am in KY, so pretty sure I am zone 6. Love all of the flowers! I can't wait to have my yard looking like that. There is a fire pit in the back, so can't wait to entertain! I am just stuck on what to do by the house in the back. French doors are a must. Love that idea. The things on the deck are not mine, they are the sellers. Heck, once I stain it and put all of my stuff up there, it may not need much. Like you said, climbing roses etc....See MoreDianna B
