What would you choose if money was no object
Comments (31)I am afraid that the gigantic French stoves with the enamel and sparklies everywhere are simply too much for me. It would be like having a large, immovable, Faberge' egg in the kitchen. No thanks. If money (and my wife's opinions) were no object, I would extend my kitchen 12' in two directions and switch to commercial gear. I'd have a dough sheeter, a much better ventilation system, walkin cooler and freezer, a commercial range, griddle, deep fryer, salamander, pizza deck, all modified by my engineering team for electronic ignition. I would keep my exact same coffee machine and speed oven and I would hire Nigella Lawson to come be my own personal iron chef judge....See MoreIsland sink...what faucet would look good?
Comments (8)nikkidan-We have the Delta Addison in our island which is the same size and general shape as the Allora. We also added a soap dispenser and it looks fine. I had the same concerns you are having, but once it was installed, my concerns disappeared. We have the Allora in our laundry room & it is a very well made faucet--better quality than the Addison I believe. I haven't experienced the Pilar, but my vote would be for Allora. I did change out the soap dispenser with our Allora faucet as the one that came with it was difficult to fill and was "plasticy". We went with the Luxart Model# CSD in brushed nickel which actually matches the Allora stainless quite nicely. Here's a pic of our kitchen from the family room showing the faucet from the rear (the barstool to the right is hiding the soap dispenser from view but you can just make out the Allora faucet in the laundry room to the left): Here is a link that might be useful: Luxart Soap Dispensers...See Moreputting trash in 36inch sink base: choose center or rear drain si
Comments (5)We have a center drain with an 18" trash and recycling setup underneath it. Initially thought we would need a side rear drain, but it worked! What makes it feasible is the lack of a disposal, so if you don't plan to have one, you might be able to pull it off. It really depends on whether you can fit all of the rest of your under-sink gear on one side of the sink (minus a bit in the middle for plumbing). We don't have any of those, so not sure how much space they take. If you're doing two half-depth bins side by side (on both sides of the sink) it might also be different--ours are two front-to-back so they take up 100% of the space on one side but nothing on the other....See More36 inch medicine cabinet is ok over 60 inch vanity? (pics included)
Comments (7)@Patricia Colwell i need to make my purchases now so that the contractor knows whether to leave the holes for the electric boxes next to the medicine cabinet for sconces or not (in case i use a long mirror instead and put an overhead light instead). so just trying to figure out the proportions ahead of time. a close member of my family thinks that putting a 36 wide medicine cabinet leaves 12 inches on either side of the medicine cabinet and that is too much. will a 6 inch wide sconce be better than a 4 inch? in that case it would be 3 inches between the medicine cabinet and the sconce thenthe 6 inch sconce and then another 3 inches. i think that would be balanced. this is the one i am considering that is 4.75 wide on bottom and 6.25 wide on top but its only 12 inches long and i was thinking that porportions may look better if it was longer: or this one that has a bit narrower but has more length 16t/8 and might give better portion: can you help me figure out the optimal proportions? should i be aiming for a 40 inch medicine cabinet instead? would that make for better proportions?...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
