how much would you expect 13 linear feet of built ins to be?
Comments (25)We had a 13 foot wide x 10.5 foot high entertainment center custom built out of solid cherry with nice crown moulding and built-in lighting done for 17K including labor. The doors were a select Cherry as well. We got quotes ranging from that to 27K for a very basic cherry built-in. Paint grade would definitely be cheaper. The same cabinet maker is making me custom paint grade mudroom bench, cubbies and cabs (approx 6 ft) plus a mail station(42 inches of lowers) for about $3500. I would suggest looking around some more. Our cabinetmaker we found in the phone book and works out of a workshop in his home and doesn't advertise. He did a fantastic job as well(It did take a while though as he is working alone). If there is anyway you can incorporate stock cabinet sizes that should decrease your costs a bit as well....See MoreI'm at a loss as to what to do.
Comments (29)I love you guys so much! You're all awesome! I have read your responses multiple times. Every decision impacts the next decision. So I will start small. The stools will be the easiest to do. I will re-stain the table and put pretty fabric on chairs and curtains to match on window. I will get dark knobs and pulls. I won't paint cabinets unless we are staying...that'll save some cash as we have a painter doing it. He has a whole house to paint here so he has lots to do. I like the marble tile too...it seems to be the best neutral for re-sale and goes with every inspiration picture I've collected. My family likes the green but it would narrow choices. It's not that I don't like wood it's just that I have tons of it...I have a living room stuffed with antiques that are beautiful and can't be painted because they are beautiful. :) Then you walk into kitchen/fam rm and more wood. When I say I'd love to move the microwave I'm not kidding...I'm just under 5 ft tall...it's in a stupid place. But our kitchen is so small there's really no other place to put it. Unlike a lot of people we use it a lot. I think my family would die if I pulled it. :) I hereby promise to post pictures as I accomplish projects....everybody loves pictures...I love reveals, they are my favorite! It should be a GW requirement that everybody posts pictures all the time! That fuzzy little sweet faced Yorkie is the naughtiest little boy. We live in the Pacific Northwest...we have wet grass...a lot...we don't like pottying in wet grass....we love to potty on area rugs!!! I have one rug left in the family room that is "not" a favorite spot. Of course it was a cheap temporary one bought because I couldn't find one that I really liked. Figures!...See MoreHow would YOU modernize this outdated built in tv area?
Comments (6)@saratogaswizzlestick - Thanks for your ideas! How would the latch and panel open? (Would it swing outward like a cabinet door or something else?) I'm having trouble visualizing what you mean. :) P.S. For reference for everyone viewing this thread, the carved tv area currently has a rolling double "doors" that can be pulled together to shut or pulled apart to retract into the space....See MoreHow would you redo this living room wall with fireplace and built-ins?
Comments (1)Congratulations on your new home. It looks like a beautiful living room. Suggestions for your consideration; Do remove the built in bookshelves. They throw the balance of the room completely off. As for the TV placement you can set it up so that the TV has it's own place to the left of the fireplace or do a long low linear gas fireplace and then the TV over the mantel. I always suggest keeping the TV as low as possible for better viewing when ever possible. Either way, if it was me, I would put stone or tile all the way across the wall. It would look a lot better and balance out that wall. This is a direct vent gas fireplace. Just an example and one of many available. It is 72" long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=psclZo0hYSI&feature=emb_logo this is a tutorial about TV placement. Hope it helps. MAE...See MoreJennifer Hogan
