question about bog design
Comments (1)I suggest NO HOLES, if you decide to put holes make them on the sides. 18-24 inches is plenty deep. I Put my bogs in in 1998. No holes in the liner, about 18 inches deep. I moved in 2000 and moved the bog with me to the new property. this is what it looked like the second week of June 2004 (haven't got around to taking pictures yet this season)...See MoreBooks about kitchen design
Comments (25)A really good book on how to do a kitchen would be boring to most people. It would not have flashy photos of kitchens but would focus on things like outlet placement. A combo of NKBA guidelines and the best of GW. Have you read the "new to kitchens ..." thread posted by buehl? Not the sticky note by tamara. If not, read it. rosie, you hit the nail on the head "And there's the irresponsible and pound-foolish syndrome. Too many people refuse to even begin considering moving plumbing or a doorway, bypassing all the basic stuff so they can move as quickly as possible to the fun shopping part." That has been a pet peeve of mine lately. So many posting "can't move the ...." why? I understand houses on slabs can be difficult but those on crawlspaces or basements are not. They will spend thousands on high end appliances or granite but will not spend a few hundred to move a sink. Let's all write the ultimate kitchen book. For the title, I suggest, "It's all about the layout.....". Actually that should be the first chapter....See More'Must Have' Books about Design/Decorating?
Comments (8)One of my favorite "basics" books is Straight Talk on Decorating by Lynette Jennings. What I like about it is while there are lots of photos, she really analyzes them and breaks all of the different elements of a room down for the reader. She also includes photos and drawings of what NOT to do, and explains why a particular room doesn't "work". Another book I consider a basic classic is the Better Homes and Gardens New Decorating book. It's very comprehensive as it covers every aspect of home decor, from color and layout to fabric, lighting and flooring. They even further break down the info into the different rooms of the house. While this is a book you could definitely sit down and read cover-to-cover it also it a wonderful reference source. Just be sure to get the latest edition of the New Decorating Book. Better Homes and Gardens releases an updated one every several years. The majority of the info is the same but the photos are more current. I think the newest one was published in 2007.

Comments (5)Design Girl, we have done a lot of renovations. The fluorescent light in the kitchen has been replaced with LED. The cabinets were painted white and have chrome pulls like these now. (Both choices were less expensive and since we are topping out at $75K for our renovations we had to cut back some things like a complete kitchen gut reno because of taking care of necessary safety issues with other things.) The counters and backsplash are the same. The faucet is new. The flooring is LVP and is white with some grayish in it. Unfortunately, Linda, privacy is an issue. I will live here alone and am not comfortable have uncovered windows anywhere. While it is quite safe I tend to freak out at the thought of "what is out there" after dark when I have a lot of lights on....See Morefriedag
