please help! last minute advice needed! ;)
Comments (2)My bath doesn't sound much like yours - I'm using Navaelli Carrara Star form Daltile and dark cabinets - but my cabinet pulls are gorgeous! I ordered Top Knobs- the Crystal Collection #TK128PC and they arrived last week. Pricey but beautiful. Can't wait to see them installed! I also am using Polished Chrome fixtures - I like the blue tone to them and the shine. I have satin nickel in my kitchen and it works and wears well. Can't comment on the rest but good luck!...See MoreHelp! Last minute vegetarian!
Comments (20)Thank you all so much! This was so helpful. A lot of the great ideas had to be ruled out right away, however, because there was no chance for a trip to the store. The sink backed up the night before, so I had to have a plumber in - oh, and the builder was already there to re-anchor the dishwasher so we could use it. I couldn't cook while they were working, obviously, so I cleaned the house -- the housecleaner had called at 9:00 a.m. and cancelled because her uncle died -- and set the table then. As soon as they left, I had to go across town to get my laptop fixed. One of those days! Good thing I'd done most of the cooking already. Luckily, I had a box of Trader Joe corn & roasted pepper soup in the pantry, and it was parve. So I just heated it in the MW and gave her that when we had matzo ball soup. I didn't put out anything extra for her while we were standing around having chopped liver, and that was fine -- the other girls weren't much interested in it anyway. The evening was a success, and I didn't feel like a bad hostess or as if this drew focus. Thank you all so so so much for rallying to my aid and giving me confidence. I always feel like you are right there with me!...See MoreLast minute light change ~ need help!
Comments (2)How about two recessed cans surrounding the joist, or a soffit containing a single shallow recessed light? I'd suggest an LED disk lamp - these look almost like recessed lights when installed but need only about 2" of depth - an standard electrical junction box will do, no can necessary, but I haven't seen a really good one yet. Maybe tiny MR16s or GU10s....See MoreLast minute change? Help!!
Comments (9)My main concern on the width of the counter to the left of the sink (I think I will give it a name so I don't have to keep typing that) is that the range hood did not look balanced in the space. I tend to err on the side of form over function. Lisa, I have no idea how I came up with my finishes, I think I fell in love with them individually and am hoping they all look good together. Dumb, I know. And, as each item is installed it looks just a little bit different than I imagined. So, my floor is limestone, base cabinets are painted BM Natural Cream, pantry cab, refrigerator cab and two china cabinets are all stained rift cut white oak and the counters are 2cm Calacata Oro, Island will be a industrial wrought iron base with a 2" piece of regular white oak, maybe distressed a bit. The window in the kitchen is three french casements painted black (I really wanted steel framed windows) with cremone bolts. Here is my floor, it's showing yellow/orange in the photo, but is really a gray brown color. Have you seen this kitchen, it's gorgeous! I think I've seen every kitchen with rift cut oak on the internet. Let me know if you have any other questions. I will upload a photo of the finished oak later today. My marble, refrigerator, window and range are all being installed Monday and Tuesday. I can't wait to see your kitchen!...See MoreIrish2
