bump-out kitchen of 1930's tudor revival
Comments (5)I love your kitchen!!! You did such a beautiful job. I noticed that you have Holiday cabinets. Are you happy with them? How is their quality and finish. They look beautiful in the showroom. I'm just planning my new kitchen and the KD that I spoke to carries this line. He said it's a custom line. Do you know if the cabinets come framed and frameless? Thanks for your help....See More1930 Paint Colors & Tudor Revival

Comments (31)I posted the original picture without any commentary because I thought it was an interesting period bath (with a new sink), not because I thought it was fabulous or what people should necessarily want now. It is a bathroom of it's day. I do think there was typically a lack of storage in period baths. This could have a closet in it somewhere. What I Do think is interesting is that this bathroom clearly had drapery at some point. It's technically probably not "cold" either, because it has a huge radiator under the window. What is interesting to me about bathroom storage though, is this. A lot of modernist houses or houses where the first modern "master bath" renovation was done in the mid-century are coming onto the market as estates. I have looked at a number of properties with full sit down vanities and 6 or 8 linear feet of full drawer and cabinet storage in them in addition to a linen closet, and almost without fail they are crammed with dried out cosmetics, rotten rubber hot water bottles, old prescriptions, twenty year old magazines and a lot of other nasty old stuff. This begs the question of how much real storage is needed in a typical bath. It's not good to store prescriptions in the bathroom, it's too humid, it's not good to do long-term linen storage in there either. You need a certain amount of drawer storage for toiletries and cosmetics, and a bit of storage either under the sink or in the bath proper for an extra roll of toilet paper, cleaning supplies and the toilet brush and plunger. If it ends up that the drawers are crammed with a bunch of expired toiletries and broken electric toothbrushes,--and if the houses I look at are typical, they are, then one has to wonder how much is too much. Despite all the insistence by the people that have them, there is a fair amount of industry data that shows the large spa or garden tub is Not utilized in proportion to initial expense or the amount or real estate it takes up. A shower with body sprays and such, that is a bit different. That can still be utilized in a fairly typical amount of time that is spent in the shower. But this can also be a simple mechanical aspect of a typical "bathroom" vs "spa-experience"....See Morestorybook Tudor revival - help with the exterior
