Comments (6)I put the prep sink version of this same faucet on my prep sink and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! (Can I make this clearer?) I love the way you don't have to actually pull the head out. Just grab it and angle it wherever you like. I'm really sorry I didn't put the main sink version on my main sink. Instead I put the pull out version. It's awkward by comparison. The really why I did the pull out on the main is because I wanted them similar but not to match exactly. Don't worry about the chrome looking spotty. You can wipe the dry spots off with a dry tissue - it's that easy to clean and the chrome finish is much less expensive and I suspect will wear better than the more expensive options....See MoreFinal decisions, floor plan help pls (Bevangel, Summerfield, etc!
Comments (45)Hey Kirkhall, glad to see you're still moving forward! But, I thought there was a vent stack just about exactly where the hinges on the door into the NW bedroom are shown. Have you decided to go ahead and move that vent stack or am I just misremembering exactly where it was? Could you show exactly where the vent stack will be on the drawing above? I don't want to spend too much time playing with your sketch only to find out that that danged vent stack is in the way of every idea. But, I do agree that the sketch your GC's designer provided looks awkward. I'm comfortable with angled walls but they do need to look PLANNED! Where two walls meet at 135 degrees (90 + 45) they usually look planned. And, if you have two matching sets of angled walls that meet at 120 degrees (90 + 30) or at 150 degrees (90 + 60) they also usually look planned. But,where (as here) walls meet at some other odd angle, they often look like a mistake was made in the building process and the angled wall was just stuck in willy-nilly to make all the walls connect up. I'm wondering if something like this would work. (Probably depends on where that danged vent stack is!) The hallway to your bedroom would be made about a bit wider and the laundry closet a bit shallower than on your GC's design...but the laundry closet still should be plenty wide for the washer and dryer to sit at the ends as shown on the GC's design. The dotted red line is just to show how I envision the wall beside the NW bedroom would line up with the outer wall of the laundry closet. The only angled walls would be one at the top of the stairs and one in your bedroom and both would meet other walls at 135 degrees instead of some odd angle. If you put a small triangular table or some nick-knack shelves in the corner across from the hallway angled wall, you would create an angled hallway effect that would look planned rather than haphazard. I know one issue you're dealing with with the girls bedroom closets is that you have a kneewall at one side which is making it hard to figure out how to fit in a full sized door. But I think you could do their closets like this using 24" wide regular doors set where you have a full height ceilings. (Yes, I know 24" wide doors aren't exactly "optimal" but where space is tight, they will work FINE as closet doors, particularly for a child's closet!) Both closets would then be shallow walk-in closets (3.5 ft deep x about 6.5 ft wide) with hanging rods to the left and right of the door and a narrow aisle down the middle. Since you wouldn't have to walk very far into the closet, it wouldn't matter that the aisleway was narrow. Obviously, on the side with the low ceiling, you would not have any storage above the hanging rod but I had a similar closet in one of the secondary bedrooms of our old house that was built under a stairway and it was actually pretty functional. With kid's closets, you often want to put set the hanging rod pretty low anyway....See MoreHelp flooring pros - hardwood floors or cabinets first?
Comments (4)I prefer wall to wall, less chance for any water to easily work it's way under and damaging the floors. You will never know when that dishwasher or sink will overflow. Cut edges right below is an easy passage for water....See MorePls help with picking a floor
Comments (6)@misecretary here u go. The middle pic is my kitchen cabinets, taken from google, and the rest are pics of the floor im thinking of. The pic that was posted by @dan888 is a different model, while the one im thinking of is described as "grey/white". Im wondering if "grey/white" might be a bad choice (?) Since ive read that one should prereably stick to either warm or cold undertoness. Im guessing the floor is considered to be cold (?) while the kitchen and my other furniture is considerrd to be warm, but maybe im wrong. Im really bad at stuff like this haha.....See MoreSJ McCarthy
