Happy Butt update
Comments (11)YES!!!! (teehee) - So that's what Happy Butt looks like - Hilarious photo. I did look up the rose on HMF and saw your picture there Karl - Wow, what a beauty! I wanted to put my name in for one right away, but alas, I know it could not be mailed to Canada - PITY!!! So generous of you to do this. Pauline...See MoreUpdate my old lady look to COOL..
Comments (19)Thank you Marti8a. I recovered the sofas and removed the ruffled skirt and added bun feet. I do not have a before pic. of sofa but it was very country and 80's sea foam green and pink and coordinated with the flowered drapes and cornice. The space is small for today's standards and the newer sofas were so big. I would love to put hardwood in here also. We put it in the kitchen and FR. Here is another before and after pic. Alerit, I agree with patricia43 about classic good bones. Yes I love some of the newer DR sets out there and would love a new set but I think Queen Anne is easy to work with. I think recovering the seats would make a big difference. I would love to replace my armchairs on the end with an upholstered parsons chair. These were the old drapes I had made to match old sofa sorry I don't have a pic of old sofa....See MoreButt ugly marmoleum welding rod update
Comments (19)YoungDeb, the cuts are widest at the top and are cut on a bit of an angle. He handcut the whole thing with a hooked sort of knife. I think he is quite a craftsman. We used to "flip" houses (lovingly restore). We had several bad experiences with other marmoleum installers before we found DJ's Floors. When I saw their work, I knew I wanted them to do our kitchen floor. Deedles, we did seal the marmoleum. One of us sprayed and the other wiped. There were a few cases where the spray didn't get wiped up (we did it ourselves) and there are some spray drops that I can see when i wash the floor. I suppose they will eventually go away. Here is a link that might be useful: marmoleum installation...See MoreDoes this kitchen make my family room butt look SMALL?
Comments (75)Hi Breezy - you're making some decisions and that's progress! About the 36" aisle that you label as a "pinch point", I don't think 36" is tight in and of itself (we actually have less than that in a couple places where there's an architectural wall protrusion at each end of our island that narrows the aisle to 32" for a few inches). Sometimes it's a little jammed (in our case, with a bunch of adults at the island seating end, which is where we put snacks usually). But in your case, with the oven being there next to the pantry as you show in your last plan, well that could really jam up that corner of the kitchen. Have you thought about the possibility of turning the pantry against your left wall? Then I would consider putting the fridge down at the bottom of the kitchen. Keep the ovens where they are. Like everything, some pros/cons: PANTRY: CON: you'd have the same issue with it needing to come into the main kitchen aisle several inches, to get the room you want in there. PRO: But you'd be using that space out of your 48" aisle, and not the 44" (although one of your recent posts said you're going down to 42"?) And it still gives you some door options (30" opening on my barely legible plan here) OVENS: PRO: gets you some landing room to the right of them, instead of the fridge being there, which I think is super important. FRIDGE: at the bottom of your kitchen, may be a new loop for you...but (if you remember) the photo you saw of our fridge, that's how we have it (only at the top end of our kitchen). CON: it's away from your main cook/prep zone. PRO: kids can get in/out of it without being in your way, AND biggest PRO (for me) is that it gives your ovens that landing room. Even with just 2 people in our home, the fridge gets opened far more than the oven, and it works well for it to be on its own. I know you mentioned your only fridge spec was a bottom freezer, and if you got one that opened from the right you wouldn't hit the pantry wall (Or, if you can squeeze a foot of space in between the pantry and fridge, a French Door would be best for this placement so people could EASILY get by when doors are open). Overall, it gets your food all together at that end, so when you come into the house with groceries - some for the pantry, some for the fridge - you use your island as the drop zone, and load things in to both from there. Ok, I am NOT a floorplan person (nor do I have a scanner), but here it is to the best of my abilities:...See Morebbstx
