Garage Door sizes- Two doors vs One wide
Comments (51)Depending on layout and available space, one may need to opt for one or other option. I remember always wanting a home with side entry garages but due to lack of space on the left, ended up building front entry snout garages in our home in NJ. Subsequently I initially designed our next home in PNW with side garages but so glad I did not entirely pursue that dream. Main two double garages with two 18' glass/aluminium doors will flank front left with an additional side entrance double garage with 40' of hard standing, for my hobbies etc. Coming home late in the evening on a dark rainy night in the PNW, the last thing one would want is try to negotiate a 90degree turn in a large suv; sure I would do it but probably drive my DW mad....See MoreTwo tone cabinets, two tone hardware?!
Comments (7)Thanks for the additional advise! Well, we were sure we wanted the pewter color for the island, so I ordered enough of that for this purpose. It looks great on the dark blue/grey and looked good on the then still wooden perimeter cabinets. So I went ahead and ordered the additional ones needed for the perimeter of the kitchen. Now that I’m nearly done painting (some more drying time for the doors), and having seen a white kitchen with black hardware again at the big blue Swedish store, I revisited my decision. I didn’t unpack the ordered hardware yet and ordered a couple of the wrought iron/black ones today. I’m holding off on installing the doors until the black ones come in to have a side by side comparison. I’m still within the return window of the hardware and would only lose the shipping costs. So we’ll see....See MoreNeed help deciding between all white and two-tone kitchen cabinets
Comments (12)I love my two tone. I like stained wood but didn't want to feel surrounded by brown. I like things a bit mismatchy and seemed like a good fit in my older home. I did the tall cabinets white like the uppers so that everything at eye-level is the same color. Especially because the tall cabinets are right at the entrance to my kitchen (seemed like it would feel too "in-your-face" to have the wood there). I prefer two tone kitchens with the tall cabinets matched to the uppers rather than lowers, but I don't think it's terrible to match the lowers. You can find pics of kitchens done either way. Agree to do a little contrast with the wood floor so it doesn't all blend with the lower cabinets. My kitchen floor was stained to match the rest of the house (IMO it's more red than I'd like, trying to tone it down with the rug), so I did lighter cabinets. I think it would be too much for the floor and cabinets to blend together....See MoreTwo-toned front door?
Comments (10)Thanks, all. Unfortunately, it can't be stripped and stained (my first choice), as the inserts have been replaced with some non-wood stuff by my dad. The door is from 1932, and it's not in great shape, so he had to replace that wood years ago. His fix was probably not the way he should have gone, but... The stucco is white, not pink, thank goodness -- I took the picture later in the day. The stairs are too uneven to tile. We'll stick with the dark garnet, or at least we'll try it out. I got a sample today, and if it's too much, he has loads of that green paint to put it back to how it was....See Moresookmomof4
