Anyone please ? Answer question about buffet table against paneledwall

I am having my dining room walls paneled . This is the design I liked.
The wall guy made this pattern on the wall.
But my buffet is not lining up and so the mirror on it will also not like up with the panel. Would it look odd? I was thinking so. If I pull the bouquet out to the left to align it, it would go too far , almost towards the end of the table.
The buffet is 72 inches long.
should I change the pattern of the paneling then?

An Annoying Question about Apple and Pear Trees
Comments (12)Brandon, It has been about 1 year since planting my first fruit trees in my backyard orchard. I am proud of my accomplishments, here are my insights. "1. Trees will be planted in East Tennessee (zone 6b technically, zone 7b realistically)." Virtually all Apples and Pears can grow good in zone 7. The most important thing is a least 8 hours summer direct sunlight for trees to overcome disease , insects and to bear fruit. "2. Trees will need to be no-spray or nearly no-spray varieties." Don answered this expertly, "The "low-spray" feature advertised on some apple varieties refers only to diseases..." "No apple is resistant to any insect pest. And there are a lot of those." "The only fruit tree I grow that requires no spraying is the Asian pear..." "3. Fruit needs to taste as good as possible." Check out a local farmstand/market, taste, ask questions. "4. Quality of fruit is much more important than quantity." I am growing a Flat Wonderful peach tree. The foliage is a specimen quality deep purple color and the tree is vigorous. I am told the spring blooms are a knockout, and the flat peaches taste extraordinary. My "no spray" Olympic asian pear has grown to 8 feet from 36" bareroot. The dark green leaves are 3 times the size of european pear leaves. The pears start in 3rd year are gourmet quality and store for 9 months. My Home Depot bought Shinseiki asian pears came with flowers and bore three nice pears each. Shinseikis can pollinate each other and the Olympic pear, this you will have to study up on. "5. Long shelf life would be great, but will not be a limiting factor." Fuji and Gala are the hits in the apple market. Even the supermarket ones taste great. Shelf life of a Fuji is up to one year. The asian pears can be eaten off the tree unlike the europeans, that have to be ripened. The Olympic pear has the longest life for the asians at nine months. "6. Trees that will produce over a long period of time are preferred over short lived/short production life trees." Standard pear trees can live to 100 years. Dwarf pears 35 years. Maybe 15 years for dwarf peaches, apples. Standard trees grow alot longer than dwarfs. Dwarfs bear fruit earlier. In some cases it can save a few years or more getting fruit on the table. Henry Fields has a sale till Thursday Oct. 4. The Olympic and a Flat Wonderful $20.22 each including shipping. I have ordered a 4 varieties grafted to 1 asian pear from Raintree Nursery to be delivered in March 2008. $67 each including $25 shipping.

Comments (24)Can you help me (and perhaps others) add some steps to the 'hood size guidelines' to think through hood size for the Capital Culinarian 36" rangetop, or one of the other 'monster' home rangetops (e.g., Bluestar, Viking, Wolf,...) The usual rule of thumb I've seen is: 100 CFM / 1,000 BTU rangetop Width same as rangetop, preferably 6" wider (e.g., (36", 42" better) Depth same as rangetop, preferably 3" deeper (e.g., 24", 27" better) The problem is that it is extremely unlikely we'll run the Capital at its full 138K BTU (or any of its monster brethren). Does the following make sense, or can those knowledgeable improve on it? At top actual use, we'll be using: 1 Burner wok = 23K BTU 1 Burner soup/ water boil = 23K BTU, but limited need for venting, call it 10K 4 Burners Realistic Max Average = 10K BTU (e.g., 1* 15K averages w/ 1 simmer) Total Effective = 73K BTU, and thus need 730 CFM Hood Suppose we do the 'best practice' of turning the hood on a couple minutes prior to any 'high-vent need cooking' such as wok cooking. If the range top is against a back wall, would we then be comfortable with the 730 CFM fan in a 36x24" hood? If the range top is in an island, would we then be comfortable with the 730 CFM fan in a 42x 27" hood, as long as we limit any activities that would cause strong drafts in the kitchen during wok cooking (e.g., opening the door from kitchen to patio.) In our case, we're looking at 6 burners, no grill or other top. We look forward to your help....See MoreOT Boxerpups--Can you Please answer boxer puppy questions? :)
Comments (31)When we were researching breeds, we seriously considered Boxers, but we went with Great Danes (and later English Mastiffs, as well). Boxers and Danes are very similar in temperament, as they are both "working" breeds of German origin, but we went with the lazier, less active Dane. I'm sure we would have loved having Boxers, too, given how wonderful the many we've known have been. Boxerpups gives you some wonderful advice, and I'd suggest you follow it carefully. Finding the right breeder is the hardest part. Good breeders do thorough genetic testing (not just vet checks), so find out which genetic problems are common in your breed and expect that your pup's parents would both be tested for those issues and certified by the appropriate organization. When you contact a good breeder, expect to be grilled. Don't be offended, be glad. In fact, if they don't ask you more questions than you ask them, walk away. Good breeders care deeply about where every pup they produce ends up and what happens to it for its entire life. They would rather keep an entire litter for life than let one pup go to an irresponsible owner. The breeders who don't know what they're doing are the ones who will be anxious to make the sale. Don't respond to newspaper or Craigslist ads for puppies. Those tend to be the worst breeders, who will sell their pups to anyone who has the cash in hand. You can find responsible breeders through breed clubs, but don't assume all breeders registered with their club are good. Do your homework and find someone you can really trust. I'd like to echo ae2ga's recommendation of books and DVDs by Dr. Ian Dunbar. He is the originator of the trend of puppy training and the founder of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Trainers used to insist that it was important to wait until a puppy was at least six months old before initiating training. Dunbar recognized how ludicrous this was and began his Sirius Puppy Training program. He has both a DVM and a PhD in Animal Behavior. His methods are consistently positive, and I've found them much more effective than the punishing "corrections" advocated by some trainers--even for controlling very large, powerful, and stubborn dogs. We've had 11 very large dogs over the past 25 years, each well over 100 pounds, and we've never had to do an "alpha roll" or use any other harsh techniques because we started early and consistent training with Dunbar methods. Back when I was competing in obedience in the late 80s, I attended a Dunbar seminar and have been a huge fan ever since. When we were breeding (we only have rescues now), we would send each puppy home with a copy of his Sirius Puppy Training video. Check his web site for upcoming seminars--they are well worth it! Since you are doing your homework now, I especially recommend his book called Before You Get Your Puppy. His site has a bunch of other free advice books and pamphlets for download, too. Here is a link that might be useful: Sirius Puppy Training...See MoreCome see our backsplash (and a question about table)
Comments (15)Love you new backsplash! It really compliments your cabinets and is beautiful. Congratulations! I agree with Astridh, the red accents really take away from your granite and backsplash. I know they are expensive, but could you put some of them away (gives you more counter space) and possibly buy new paper towel holder and soap dispenser in stainless or black? I also agree about the table, it doesn't look right with the wonderful modern fan and appliances. I do think a round table is the right way to go, possibly find one with a glass top so it doesn't look so big in the tight space. Meanwhile keep your old one until you find the right one for your beautiful new kitchen. It took me a awhile of searching for the right table, but now I'm happy I waited. Also FYI, Pier 1 also sells just the glass tops (ours was 48" - $98) that I was able to put on our beautiful new base. Good Luck!...See More

3 years agoI would never be happy with it, but it could be an easy fix. If the centre of wall was the starting point and mathematically figure out size of each panel (all the same size) and distance needed in between to centre.

3 years agoI did it and here are the pictures.
it’s looking ok on the wall, but I am
afraid it looks too far pushed towards one end of the table.
Looks different from different angles from where the picture is taken.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoGreat! That is a relief to hear.
now next dilemma : the paneling guy is saying that since the buffet wall is smaller interrupted by the door, he will put smaller squares there .
and the wall opposite is a complete wall end to end, so he will put the same number of panel boxes but they will be larger. So 3 on Each wall but their size will vary because of the length of the wall .
is that how he is supposed to do? I thought the sizes of panels should be uniform and the smaller walls can have fewer boxes but the sizes should match the opposite wall.

I hurriedly found this in case you were feeling pressured to let worker begin. But I really don’t know the “professional” answer!
lavender12145 thanked teachermurphMaureen
3 years agoCan he use the same size and just add more? Also it’s common to do a larger focal wall only and that would resolve the issue. Have you considered another style. All this to say, I wouldn’t like walls not being the same.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI always think that symmetry is overrated. The house will be standing for far longer that you might want that buffet in that spot. I would design the wall and room I want; then place the furniture.
I actively dislike perfectly balanced rooms and walls. I had a long discussion with my designer about that when she started. I was explicit and asked if she could design asymmetrical rooms. She was game for it.
PS: I even hang my art asymmetrically.
