My grandmother's kitchen ...
Comments (54)We vacationed once in a beach house in santa barbara that had a huge table in the kitchen.. We loved it. We went with 3 other families who are all foodies and it was great to sit around, prep together, eat together, drink together and play together. I remember a marathon monopoly session with adults and kids playing a cutthroat game for hours. We just put the Cuisinart right on the table to make salsa and aioli. The table was great for setting up assembly lines for raviolis and bruschetta. It was old and wood and nobody cared about staining it etc. The owner told us that she kept meaning to get rid of the table but all of her renters and family love it. The other stuff in the kitchen was a old range which needed detailed instructions to make it work (my advice is to keep the range simple if you wish to rent at all.. You may be willing to deal with the fussiness for the charm but any potential renters may not. But there was no counter per se.. There was another table next to the range that had stainless steel top and open shelves underneath with fiesta ware type of plates and bowls. . The sink was on the same wall as the range and was one of those old shallow double sinks with double drain boards and a wall mounted faucet. The sink had a curtain below and there was a dishwasher under one of the drain boards. The fridge was free standing. There was another wall with a long hutch with dishes and some cabinetry underneath. The floor was easy to mop tiles. Step on trash can was tucked under one of the sink drainboards. And the kitchen was yellow with dark green tile on the wall with the stove and sink. The other walls were white washed boards (kind where you can see the wood grain and distressed patches where there was real distress :) No island please :)...See MoreAre we nuts?? Fireplace...
Comments (36)We added a gas fpl to a room the PO used as office but we use as a LR. It cost about $6000 for just the unit (Town and Country 42"). Then labor to run a gas line. Tile (handmade) and tile work for the surround and hearth. Custom molding (our is pretty big). I am sure it was 10k or more altogether, but IDK because it was part of a whole house project. It didn't feel intrusive in our room because it is a pretty big room and the fpl just takes up one side of an octagon. Your room is very charming as it. I'd hesitate to plunk down something so large without being 100% sure. I agree with ATK, use a room planner, or even better, mock it up with a cardboard box before you go forward....See Morehelp me with inspiration pics?
Comments (43)Hey Robo here's some possible food for thought. As you know I have a "garage forward" house too. I'm not crazy about the TV period, but my husband is, and bigger is better as far as he is concerned. Our TV is in our family room, which is open to a dining area and kitchen, classic "open concept." We have a gas fireplace in there. Like it or not, that's where I spend the majority of my time. We live in a cold climate and use our gas fireplace a LOT. It allows us to keep the heat much lower in the rest of the house and heat the area where we hang out in most of the time with the fireplace, thereby saving fuel. If we have a power outage we can bypass the thermostat and turn it on and even sleep out there on the futon couch. The downside is that anything on top of the fireplace gets exposed to considerable heat over a long period of time. I would not put anything expensive or that I was fond of over our fireplace. I had candles up there and they melted, not into a complete pool, but all out of shape. I know they say it doesn't negatively affect modern electronic appliances, but they say a lot of things . . . We aren't into frequent upgrading and replacement, which is why I think they get away with saying that, most folks have a relatively short term time frame with their stuff, but that's not us. In our family room, the fireplace is set in at an angle. That way it is exposed to most of the room. The way we have it set up, you can view the TV and the adjacent fireplace both from almost anywhere in the kitchen, dining room and family room. Here's a photo. We have a tiny house, and if you are a minimalist, you'll have to try hard to imagine the set up and get beyond the array of stuff we have that we use, records, magazines, books, musical instruments, and family memorabilia. Also, there's a doorway adjacent to the fireplace that leads into a small office at the back of the house, which would be a place I could go to escape the blare of the TV or my husband's stereo which he likes to have loud. I also have a sitting room on the other side of the kitchen and a small guest bedroom which I can retreat into. The master would be another option, although that is very utilitarian in our circumstances. Looking at this photo, you can see that the TV takes up visually what I consider to be a disproportionate amount of space in the room, but that's my compromise so my husband can enjoy the type of TV experience (particularly for sports) that is so important for his quality of life. We could have some type of scenic photo on the screen but I'm not sure how good that is for the screen over the long haul. We haven't done much experimenting with that, we have so many, many other things on our priority lists . . ....See MoreTV above mantel - Does this size work and should it be higher?
Comments (32)funkyart - thank you, big grin on this end! arapaho - The idea of switching art.... is really satisfying! Yes, the heater is a gas stove and there is an electrical outlet. We also have an outlet behind the TV. Glad to talk through logistics for wiring the Samsung One Connect box behind the TV - I have pictures. marie_cate - thank you, we are! I enjoy the art so much I am loathe to switch over to TV :)...See Morejill302
