Assymetry flanking hood--is this a problem?
Comments (35)27" windows seems like a good size. I still need to do my on-paper placement of kitchen items. I'm wondering if 36" is enough space. Would 24" windows look too small? Having non-glass uppers looks fine and provides a good spot for the espresso machine. The hutch style to-the-counter cabs look more romantic somehow, but would that take away too much counter space near the cleanup sink? I'm thinking of parties where we've got a few feet of stacked dirty items waiting to be washed. I generate quite a few dirty things even with a small party. Maybe my big 33" sink would hide a good deal? I had to Google single-hung windows. I like that idea. Those windows face north to an small, intimate garden area with flagstone stairs, a species hydrangea, and some of my favorite plants. I'm torn over the look of the undivided window and the ability to get the garden air and the sound of the birds. DH doesn't think they need to open. Rhome--Can you do the schematic plan of the 27" flanking windows so I can see the counterspace, please? LWO--An appliance garage (with flip-up cab as I hate tambor doors) would work to hide the espresso machine and other stuff, but would also use up th counter space. I will definetly consider this. Good idea! Elle3--The space to the right of the cleanup sink isn't very large. I could put a small upper there, but I'm afraid it would look lost. Maybe a decorative shelf or something artsy on the wall???...See MoreChimney hood NOT flanked by cabinetry?
Comments (10)Last kitchen: Current kitchen: I will say that I am struggling with the imbalanced look in this kitchen. I have moved the clock and hung another chunk of something on the empty wall above. It doesn;t bother me day-to-day, but when I look at pics or think about a backsplash, it bugs me. Better placement/symmetry would have been an improvement, but I had other constraints to deal with on that wall......See MoreWanting Pics of Windows Flanking a Cooktop and...
Comments (7)Dodge59's vent would not pass inspection in any jurisdictions that I'm aware of. Most require 30" of space to a combustible surface over a cooking appliance. The wood bottom of a cabinet is certainly a combustible surface! It doesn't provide enough metal covered capture area for grease and steam. Using wood as a capture area will lead to an accumulation of a coating of grease, which is an even further increased fire hazard. It would need to be entirely covered in stainless to be safe, and it would be preferable if the entire surface was mesh screens to capture the cooking byproducts. If there is ever a skillet with a flare up here, it could be possible to set the whole kitchen on fire much easier than if the bottom of the cabinet were covered with non flammable material....See MoreWindow placement for flanking stove hood
Comments (47)smm - it's like you have ESP! The last 24 hours have been all about cabinets (even more than usual). At the risk of getting eggs thrown at me, I'm considering changing course on cabinets. I've been researching Cliq Studios cabinet company, and started talking to them today. I wore my contractor down, told him it's basically the same thing as his preferred cabinet supplier, but I like Cliq's options more. Although I'm sure Sophie et al. would say if it's Chinese they're all the same, I feel a lot more comfortable ordering from them (they have 50,000 facebook reviews, mostly glowing, 5-star rating with Better business bureau), and I think this is a step above other ready-to-assemble cabinets I've looked into. They're having a 40% off sale right now (I know that sounds so cheesy..."act now to get 40% off"). I'm impressed that Blum motion glides and soft close hardware come standard, they use I beams to strengthen the boxes, they're carb 2 compliant, it's comes pre-assembled with free shipping and...did I mention they're having a 40% off sale right now? We've got a pretty tight budget and can only change cabinet suppliers if the cost is comparable, which, based on the rough estimate I got last night on their website, I think it'll be. So, long explanation to say that I'm leaning toward an off-white color called "Painted Linen"....See Morewdccruise
