Electrical outlets under windows in kitchen?
Comments (17)Most electrical codes require a receptacle no more than 2 feet away from the range on either side. Our initial framing plan had the windows low to the counters on either side of the range, and we ended up raising them in order to get the electrical outlets placed to code. https://fremont.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7164/KITCHEN-RECEPTACLES...See MoreKitchen Design: Window Woes & A Backsplash Dilemma
Comments (6)Wow I guess we all have different eyes. I would change backsplash to a white subway , paint walls lighter (near white) keep cabs and counter as is and get a custom treatment for existing window(swing arm w classy fabric you can swing open or close or halfway if not sitting at desk) . A white subway tile with tan/brown grout showing in same position as your tile and whitish walls would do a lot. You want the 4 in backsplash and rip out that granite and paint the cabs and pay to rip out a unique window? I'm confused then. The cabs in truth are good looking but older w no drawers. Best leave them add hardware as you will want to replace at a certain point....See MoreKitchen Window Dilemma
Comments (8)Nice kitchen. That fabric will not block light for purposes of privacy, obviously, but it could provide some degree of privacy in the way that sheer curtains do. You might be better served using that fabric to create a valance that would hide raised mini-blinds (that would give you more light control/privacy options) . If you make a long side swag valance, it could hide the frame of the window as well -- softening the look while letting in as much light as possible. https://www.google.com/search?q=image+long+swag+valance&client=firefox-b-1-d&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=xIXIqjf2xen_MM%253A%252CSxm2MtKdAWYv0M%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQeQ_hv_Rwja8MCLziNoSfAsV6hnQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiNrbO9k4zpAhXPm-AKHZ-LA1QQ9QEwAHoECAEQFQ#imgrc=xIXIqjf2xen_MM:...See MoreKitchen Window Dilemma
Comments (7)I'd start over, if at all possible and relocate cook.........( 1/4 inch to one foot below) Eliminate the peninsula. Keep the fridge to 42" max if you can't live with 36".. Use a drawer micro in the island and make a bigger island with a ton of drawer storage, which can hold nearly ANYTHING . Yes dishes, glassware, pots/pans. Unless there was a reason, for the not great design as is, I wouldn't use it. Kitchen design BEGINS with appliances - I'm not sure how you came to your posted plan unless a cabinet seller , budget restrictions, or plumbing and electrical limitations......and why the appliance issue is coming up after the fact....See MorePaul F.
