Front door less than 8ft tall ok if flanking closets are 8ft?
Comments (26)I would say that the transom could be the same material with the same pattern, it could be the same shape with a single lite (which would be transitional really but that's ok) or it could be rectangular with upright rectangular divided lites. The mirror idea, to me anyway, is only effective if you are doing it where you actually Couldn't or Wouldn't Want to have real windows. I think the important thing to maintain with the number of openings that are adjacent here (5?), and the number of doors to be used here (5-6?) is some sort of consistency or logic behind the choices. I think if you don't have a leaded surround right at the front, you probably should not do it on the inner doors because it adds another material. Likewise the solid doors should have some kind of pattern relationship with the other solid doors, and the doors with glazing should have some kind of pattern relationship with the other glazed doors...and ideally they should have a relationship with each other as well....See MoreLayout for 1850 Colonial kitchen with 3 doors and 3 tall windows
Comments (42)Enduring: the game room is actually the original house dating to 1790. The part with the kitchen is the addition :). Game room is about 12 x 14 with only one 6 foot segment of uninterrupted wall. 100 years ago, it was the dining room and our current dining room was the 'front' parlor, but we dont' really feel a need for a front parlor these days. Palimpsest: Good idea to check out old design books. Haven't been to the local library lately, but would be good to see some things that aren't just today's style since I don't want to get too stuck there anyway. The contractor I plan to use seems to have a tendancy to make things a bit more finished than suits my taste (why would I need trim around a wall oven--oh yeah, that's how they make money :) ), so I need to prepare myself to push back and allow the space to be a little funky. Aliris: I was playing around with that pennisula idea too after Rosie suggested one coming out from the other wall. It actually works pretty nicely as it doesn't obstruct the main traffic route for guests from dining/living to guest bath and doesn't obstruct the windows. It does result in a lot less counter space and storage however than island plan and I really want that counter space! Chris 11895: Yes, I've had the home depot kitchen designer and three different contractors (2 only do kitchens) on site. You guys have come up with everything they did and a good bit more. Thanks! Thanks to everyone for all the ideas. I'm really glad I listened to that gut feeling that something wasn't quite right and asked for help. Without the push, I never would have mocked up that chimney and discovered what a bad idea it was. Nor would it have occured to me that I could move the counter just far enough off the window wall to allow for light and cleaning rather than making it a tight passageway. I'll need to figure out what goes back there (shelves? table?), but that's something I can play around with once the counters are in. So, I think at this point I'm very happy with that idea. It leaves me with a comfortable width galley, lots of counter space, and I get to keep my kitchen table and radiator, which are my favorite parts of the kitchen as it is now. I know some of you despair at putting anything even partially in front of the windows, but believe me, when they are through the whole house you realize that the other option is having no furniture! We have a couch set up like this in the living room: sofa table behind it between the two windows and then sofa is a couple feet out from the window wall. It still leaves the light and windows visable, but makes the room functional. I have an appointment to order cabinets next week, so I'm going to move on to the next set of decisions. I'm sure some of those will lead to a few more questions! And yes, pictures will be forthcoming in a few months....See MoreIssues with tall pantry cabinet doors?
Comments (24)oldbat2be - thank you and wow! I love your pantry!!! We are going to have a small walk-in pantry in the kitchen too and I was envisioning beautifully divided shelves like yours... I’ll definitely be referring back to your amazing progress pics as we plan out that space. The reach-in pantry in the niche will be for dried goods (with the walk-in being more for small appliances, equipment, and my baking supplies). I will definitely look into using real “door-doors” in the niche rather than being stuck with the limitations of cabinet doors. Our KD is actually a designer project-managing our entire first floor reno (not just the kitchen), so I had hoped she would’ve able to advise us on solutions like this, but I’m staying to realize she’s really kitchen-focused and I think is trying to sell us as much cabinetry as possible rather than looking at what the best solution for our needs might be. Sigh. Luckily, I have a very strong vision of what we want and am tireless at doing my own research, so I am confident I’ll be able to find just the right door solution for our niche. Thanks again!!...See MoreFull length mirror for tall doors?
Comments (2)I don't understand the issue. We have hung many 'full length' mirrors from doors as my kids moved from dorms to apartments to houses. What's your definition of 'full length'? Mirrors purchased off the shelf tend to be about four/five feet long.......See MoreRelated Professionals
