What do you think of these Window Treatments? (Photo Shop Pics)
Comments (31)I'd be interested to see a photoshop of what chelone described with the arched rod; otherwise I'd keep them just as stationary panels and not connect the knobs/rosettes as it's starts looking busy and since they are not operable, I'd be concerned how much light you will be cutting off if the panels come in too far. I think you were on the right track with your first picture--it just needed to be fuller and/or perhaps a more decorative look across the top--basically not have such long loops from the knob to the drapes. I think the long loops are what detracts from the look....See MoreShop Drawings for Kitchen Millwork
Comments (1)How were you given a quote with any accuracy if you have to provide the cut list for this source? What is the point in having them verify the design drawings. It may be that the architects give the cut list drawings to this company. The last computer software I was using i got for free for a while by chance gives the cut list to the design. I suppose it is possible for them to get around it on a regular basis. The license for the software was about $3,000 over priced for the industry. I can not remeber the name of it. It is a company based in New England. Seems a little funny to me....See MoreAck! Cabinet install not like I expected. What do you think?
Comments (31)So, dear husband was there this morning and when the GC arrived, said to him "Gee, this wasn't how we expected it would be." Long story short, they took out the tape measure and measured everything on that wall. When they measured the wall itself from the right hand corner to the left side where that wall ends, they found that the crew had framed it an inch longer than the dimension in the plans. (Thus making for the 1 inch that they had to add the left-hand spacer for. :-) (Big sigh. This is what is killing me in this whole process. The whole kitchen had been gutted, so these are brand, spanking new walls. Not a case of trying to fit the cabinets into existing walls and blaming the walls. And the KD came out and remeasured after the gutting before finalizing the cabinet order. So there is no logical reason why the crew shouldn't have framed to the dimensions in her drawings. At every milestone - before the blueboard, before the plastering - we asked the GC "are you sure this fridge space is right?" Ok, I'm venting, and I suppose this is a rhetorical question: do I have to pull out a tape measure every day and confirm that they are building to the drawings? Yes! How tedious!) Soooo, once they saw that they had not built the wall to the plans, they took down that area and re-adjusted it so that it matches the drawings. :-) Which means that while there are going to be the 3/4 inch wide places on either side of the above-fridge cabinet for those two panels on either side, at least they are matching 3/4 inch wide places. And it matches the drawings (which is somehow comforting to my left-side-oriented brain). Bless you all GWers, because I would have been much more panicked today without having you to 'talk' with. If I ever have the stamina for another kitchen reno (way way into the future from now), I'm going to make it a GW-designed kitchen. You are the best! --Lee...See MoreI'm back with kitchen drawings!

Comments (15)Good the desk isn't blue. :-) Do you have the overhead Birdseye view of the layout that you could post? The one other thing jumping out at me is that one upper cabinet next to the corner glass to the counter upper. I cannot see due to the angle of the drawing what's happening on the other side of the window (sink side). I think another matching upper on the left side would look balanced, but I cannot tell what's happening there. I think BB has a point about that large fridge freezer unit. It does look to be crowding a bit on that side. But as I said, it might be because the angle is not showing that side....See MorePaul F.
