TABLE height kitchen island?? what?? help finalizing kitchen cabinets
Comments (110)Here is a mockup of an idea for your dining room and living room flip. Obviously, the final placement of the various pieces would depend on their size and necessary clearances/aisles, but this is the basic idea. You only really have two walls where the TV could go, so there aren't a whole lot of options. The orientation I chose makes the wood-burning stove a focus point, which I think is nice. I added a large coffee table between couch and loveseat, assumed a flat screen TV on the wall and added a rectangle in the new dining area to indicate a piece of furniture that could be anything, really (china cabinet, sideboard, bookcase, etc.). As for the kitchen, I went back to the open plan for this drawing. As you can see, having the dining area in the new location makes the seating in the kitchen somewhat redundant, although with kids I'm sure it will be useful. However, I agree with 3littlelights and others that this "open" plan still has you facing away from the open space for most of your kitchen tasks and is therefore not really accomplishing what you want it to accomplish. The layout of the sink, stove and fridge is also extremely awkward. What are the exact measurements of the wall with the sink on it? I know you said the windows were 72x36, but how much wall space is there between them and how much wall at either end? If there is no way to put the fridge on the same wall as the sink, then perhaps something like the plan below would work. It doesn't disguise the posts in any way, but it does give you a vastly better workflow and lets you face the open room while you are working at the sink (you'd want to move the dishwasher to the other side of the sink so it wasn't directly across from the oven)....See MoreHelp with kitchen knob colour in white kitchen, want to get it right
Comments (6)Hey M K, it would all be up to personal preference. I agree with shopping37 you have stainless appliances which nickel works well with so i think you could make it work in your kitchen. I do personally feel like a matching gold hardware would give a cleaner more put together look but if you really like the idea of mixing or don't really have a choice you could definitely get away with it in your space. Also, i am swooning over your light fixtures they are just the coolest things!!! if your still looking around for hardware options you should check out Century Hardware.

Comments (9)Here is the spot on their website where I am getting the information: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW7015-reposegray Pavestone, Coral Clay and Eider White are shown as complementary colors to Repose Gray. That doesn't mean Eider White is necessarily a lighter shade of Repose Gray. That's why I said either Eider White or Repose Gray cut 50% might work for you. Where it shows 244 - Repose Gray it shows gradients of the color, getting darker. Mindful Gray is the next darker one. However, once again, I can't be sure that Mindful Gray actually is Repose Gray darker. Someone at the store who can see the formulas should be able to tell you that. While I have had paint colors cut back 50% to get what I wanted, I don't know if it works in the opposite direction - can they increase the tint 50%? Probably, but you would have to ask someone at the store....See Moreolldroo
