What do you guys think of garage door overhangs/eyebrows?
Comments (6)Hi stacyneil, No pics yet...we aren't finished. But those Pro Wood people have literally hundreds of cool brackets and good pergola components you should look at! I feel like doing a big ad for them on the kitchens forum because they have cool (simple) corbels for counter overhangs and range hood mantels and of course fireplaces. I had someone make brackets for the outside of our mudroom door and they're so awful compared to what I could have gotten if I had known about these guys earlier! I really like the pergola idea... And I am "Vintage Cream in the City" kitchen--HOPE that's the fabulous one! (-: (-: (-: ~Amy...See MoreWhat's a 2010 kitchen? What will be out of style in 10 years?
Comments (132)I'm glad I stumbled into this forum. I was researching subway tile on Google. I must say I enjoyed getting sidetracked into reading the entire forum about kitchens. To start, I own a beautiful 1913 bungalow in the midwest. I am so grateful that all of the original atributes are intact and in fantastic shape. Douglas fir built-ins and collenades, floors and woodwork. Original wavy glass and plaster and lath. I knew this was where I was going to retire when I first toured it. The first thing I did was tear out the 2 layers of old and very old vinyl in the kitchen and have all the floors sanded and refinished, bringing the kitchen back to original also. I have repainted rooms with nice neutral colors I like from Sherman Williams. The only room I did not paint was the bathroom on main floor, it was very nice and I liked it. It has original honeycomb tile with a marble sash between it and the wood floor in next room and of course a clawfoot tub. I have very nice wool area rugs and runners throughout. The kitchen was to be my last project. I took out old painted over wainescoting and put in new oak 4 feet high as before with 2 coats of poly. Put in new wide crown molding painted white to match ceiling. I'm a white ceiling guy. I also have white appliances. I have always liked a yellowish kitchen and went with Fun Yellow. There were beautiful antique Farley and Loetscher solid wood cabinets that I painted Dover White. Sticking with the original hardware also, did not like the different options I saw, was looking towards glass. I guess the only thing that upset me about the house was somewhere along the line someone painted the woodwork, door frames and windows white in the kitchen. I repainted them Exreme White. I just finished putting in a new high definition laminate countertop and reused the sink and faucets, good Delta stuff. I had decided to go with a bicuit subway tile with some 1 inch tannish and brown glass highlights. Started questioning this after I started reading this thread even after I have everything bought. Will be sticking with the subway tile with a mocha grout. I beleive every room compliments the next and the kitchen will fit perfectly with my old house. Also made some changes to appliance configuration so I could have an eat in kitchen, there is a formal dining room off the kitchen also. Glass doorknobs throughout match the antique glass highlights I am so fond of searching out. The topper is the Heritage Lace valances over the vintage 2 inch wood blinds and lace panels on transoms and full view beveled glass oak doors. I am glad I have made myself happy by keeping it a timeless period piece. Now to start my tiling job......See MoreStyle question re: Inset doors in same kitchen w/full overlay doors
Comments (8)Sorry, Patricia, the crank pasta machines stay. The penninsula stays, also. There is not enough room for an island or wall ovens. The sink is at the only outside wall and it will say at the window with a view of a creek. An unfinished attic is above the stove. We are both in the kitchen prepping, cooking, and cleaning up at the same time - not one prepping then one cooking. We need more space at the stove and primary sink. This design gives us each a contained workspace without crossing each other's path constantly. . . and takes us out of the walkway. Walking through the living room provides access to the rest of the house for anyone who wants to avoid the kitchen. We view the refrigerator as the appliance that we spend the least amount of time in front of. It's close enough to the stove and the penninsula, and acts as a landing spot for both prep and cleanup. Changing the doorway also brings the kitchen closer to the deck. The only real inconvenience I see is at the doorway when the dishwasher is open. Cabinet style was a secondary consideration. Our experience with a number of purely kitchen designers is that they design great features but won't be using the kitchen with another cook once their work is done. We want and need to be able to function in our kitchen. My question involved how well inset cabinets at the penninsula would blend with full overlay slab cabinet doors. So, here are photos of the current space and preliminary measurements for the redesign. There doorway at the left will be 30" and the fridge will be about 6" to the right....See Morekitchen cabinet dilemna about door styles
Comments (1)If it’s in the laundry room tucked away, don’t even let it enter your mind. You could see what the cost just to make new doors is (that’s what I did in my laundry room but my old cabinets were off white). The style doors you have now are definitely 90’s/early 2000’s, so if you’re spending money to update, definitely change the door style, or it will be like you didn’t do anything....See MoreLisa T
