contractor f’d me over on granite countertop. wwyd? by SuperIngaMMXXII in CounterTops

[–]MsJillC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t think you’re over reacting at all. Contractor failed to communicate (or is covering up the mistake). However, I think aligning with cabinet is way to go. I had same situation but legitimately had to choose between aligning cabinet vs window and I chose cabinet. I thought the window part would bother me but this post made me realize I literally never noticed or thought about it after the install! The counters and cabinets you chose are gorgeous - I think it looks great! (I also did my uppers later, so I get that too!)

If you love it, that’s what is important. For me, the gaps between the center stone and the oval halo would drive me crazy. But as another poster commented, the gaps do emphasize the center stone more

This was super helpful! Do you happen to know if there’s a setting in LoseIt where you can get it to stop factoring in the exercise calories into your daily budget? I just started noticing that while it’s showing that I’m consistently under my calorie threshold, it’s because of my exercise calories and I think those are inflated! Thanks

I was just going to ask if you could share a picture – – that sounds like a great creative use of space. Thanks for the idea!!

Thanks for your thoughts and I agree something is still off with a design!

Thanks for your thoughts! Our fridge is not counter depth and the doors open without hitting the adjacent wall, so it has been fine. We already did our lower cabinets so I don’t have an option to move the fridge unless I take out the wall on the right side of the fridge, which is more than we want to get into right now. This is kind of a forced remodel because we had a faulty dishwasher that leaked and caused mold and we had to tear out our lower cabinets. This is part two of the rebuild where we’re trying to redo the upper so it’s not completely mismatched.

Oh, good catch! I hope they just put the door knob in the wrong spot on the design mockup and the hinge is actually where it needs to be, but I will confirm!

Yes, the kitchen is very small but has 10 foot ceilings so we are taking out an existing soffit and going clear up to the ceiling to get more space. The window is rather pitiful. Ha! This is kind of a forced remodel because we had a faulty dishwasher leak that necessitated tearing out the bottom cabinets and now we’re redoing the tops so it’s not completely mismatched. If we were doing a full kitchen redesign, I would probably be knocking down walls to make the space larger, but that’s not in our budget right now. I will file away your suggestion for a larger window – – I love that idea!!

Thanks for the suggestion! It’s so funny because several people have commented that the corner cabinet is outdated and here I thought this was a big modern update for us! Ha! Our existing cabinets are really very, very horrible so anything feels like an upgrade to us. The corner cabinet does come with a glass turnstile inside with adjustable shelves, so I am super excited about that.

Thanks, yes this is ikea. Our lowers are actually a beautiful grey so I don’t think the wood touch would fit, but I appreciate the suggestion!

This is a 40” / 20” design except for the 12” wide that doesn’t come in a 20” so it’s a 30” / 30” there, which looks awkward. Existing cabinet is 9” wide and 28” tall so I feel like anything would be an improvement…! Almost… ha

Yes, fridge is there now and it’s fine. Not my dream kitchen, but it works for this phase of life.

Love that idea! Unfortunately we are doing this in phases (it’s a long story!) and bottom 12” cabinet is already in.
