What do you think of picture shape and size?
Comments (62)I ditto kmcg85's suggestion of looking at a grouping of 2 or more to fill a large space rather than trying to find one large piece of the correct size that you love. You really will need something that covers the width of the cushion area of your sofa with some height such as the suggestion of 40 x 60. I would start by measuring the width of the cushions of your sofa. Over my 80" sofa I have a group of 4 identically matted and framed prints from a series of prints with similar subject matter, each 22" high x 28" wide. They are in 2 rows filling a space of 46" high x 66" wide over the center of the 80" sofa. Using 4 prints provides a lot of interest rather than 1 huge picture....See MoreDo You Love Your D SHAPED Sink?
Comments (22)Buehl, Studioren said a corner cabinet, so the S405 won't fit. However, I do not see why she has to go as small as 21". We fit the 30"-wide (exterior dimension) Blanco Diamondprecis silgranit sinto into our corner location. We did notch the sides of the cabinet to get it to fit. BTW, love my sink and love the corner location! But I'm in the "rectangular sink camp" and Studioren asked about a D-shape sink in a corner, but I think her question centers more about the corner factor. Really, I think 21" is too small. I suggest that Studioren post a new thread, entitled something like "What is the biggest sink to fit in a 36" CORNER cabinet?", rather than tack onto this thread which is solely about pros and cons of D-shape sinks....See Morerectangle, oval or circle mirror??

Comments (25)Mark’s drawing is the best by far (although I personally would prefer a longer front walkway and have the U part further away from the house so that delivery drivers or workers would be less inclined to park themselves in the garage spaces (which they have a tendency to do), and visitors wouldn’t feel like you’re directing them right into the garage (which I think is aesthetically less pleasing). The further the U is from the house the more likely deliveries will stick to staying out of the driveway spaces and the more it will feel like you have a front entrance. For me, the garage spaces are strictly for family use so I would want that clearly understood for those driving up the drive. We have a U shaped drive and designed it in such a way that it’s quite wide (2 1/2 + cars wide). We purposely made it easy for deliveries….so no backing up necessary and no sharp turns (simply loops all drivers in and out….and the approach brings them right up to the front walkway)....See More- 7 months ago
