Kitchen update - before and sorta after pics
Comments (32)Hmm... We bought the fridge, DW and micro on craigslist. The stove we bought new at Appliancesmart. It was a great deal because it had a couple of scratches on the side. We sorta rushed into it because it matched what we had just bought. My only real complaint is how long it takes to preheat. It takes forever! I will say that these newer appliances, (mainly fridge and stove) don't seem as well built as my old Whirlpool appliances, even though the fridge is supposed to be "professional". But at like $550 (stove), the price was right! I hope this helps....See MoreFloor Plan-before and after, also kitchen island/spacing reassurance?
Comments (19)I agree that the half-bath makes a pinch-point in the foyer. Besides, every time you come down the stairs you are looking at a bathroom lol! Can you move it to the nook at the front of the house, between garage and foyer? Then the door to the garage can move a little further back, which is good. As it currently is, you enter the garage right into the side of a car. That's a traffic jam right there. Also, the kitchen-dining room view. If you are at the dining room table, especially at the front of the house, and look towards the hostess, you have a straight view of the range. I think that you a planning on a sideboard or something on the walk behind the stairs, but if you move the door over there, it's harder to see into the kitchen; what you do see is further away; and from more areas of the kitchen you will be able to see the dining room and out the gorgeous bay window. Kind of like this: oops, I notice that moving the powder room puts it in full view of the breakfast nook. So in the second picture I moved the door to the right, so at least it opens to the sink, not the commode. And, if you put the bench/drop zone across from the stairs, that will block the view, too....See MoreBefore and After- Living Room and Kitchen
Comments (19)maniirani, it’s super easy to replace covers, just unscrew two screws, remove and replace, screw back. If the actual electrical outlet itself is that dingy off white almost yellow color too, then, yes, absolutely need to turn power 100% off to switch those out yourself (also easy). Or if it makes you nervous to do it yourself hire it out! You’ll be glad you did. Your kitchen is beautiful!...See MoreLiving Room Before and After
