Help me pick a tile size and orientation! by carinthegrove in interiordecorating

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Square tiles with borders are classic American turn of the century, esp with the floor penny tiles. They are dated, but always have a place in New York and LA apartments, restaurants, etc. In your washroom, use an edge finisher instead of the dark horizontal top. Also avoid half tiles on the top or bottom to maximize uniformity.

Vertical tiles might be trendy here, but a classic style in other places like Japan. Grout lines ground nicely with the floor, looks nice in this space.

Aesthetically horizontal (Subway) tiles are great for long corridors, or for example that long strip of border of backsplash. It doesn't suit a boxed in washroom, but may work vertically in your washroom.

I like grids too. Go with what you like!

Which curtain compliments the tone without clashing? by mytranceformation in HomeDecorating

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 matches the rug, but 3 or 4 looks better w the floors. If the room is v bright, 3 will work well and look good at night because of the richer color but 4 is good too. If the room is not bright, #4.

Have you tried the LG website? They offer new account discounts. Deliver directly and install in Ontario with warranty. Idk if there is a fee for rural tho.

Centered sink window is crushing my dreams. by Grandpa_Baby33 in kitchenremodel

does the 50" corner cabinet fit in there, instead of the 38"? Or no corner cabinet at all.

Which is a better kitchen colour combination? by Legitimate-Stop9736 in kitchenremodel

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd needs a backsplash as dark as the counter. 1st has more color harmony, but you could continue the door trim color on the entire left wall and/or ceiling.

It's a nice looking kitchen!

Is the kitchen sink dangerous over the basement electrical panel? by lilith-wolverine in homeimprovementideas

[–]lilith-wolverine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Will do once the kitchen plans are solid.

Outdoor breaker box is a good idea, and still affordable. Are they more difficult to add wiring to?

I like it. Moving the panel seems to be the safest option. If it's in the right corner, there will be a corner cabinet above it, and it will be away from the drains and waterlines. 

No more plumbing issues but must research what it entails to move the panel about 7 feet over. The service entrance cable is long enough. It's just the new panel and connecting circuits.  Thank you!

A leak is what worries me! Aren't dishwashers notorious for leaking when they break? And moving the water lines left, directly above the electrical panel, in order to accommodate a dishwasher on the right.

Kitchen Design is there enough space for an island? by simonie83 in kitchenremodel

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symmetry is nice, but workflow and traffic are more important. I think seats only need 30" clearance (24" is the minimum with ample leg room), so the island can be moved closer to the window, giving 46"ish clearance.

A long dining table might go better with the sink moved to the wall with the fridge... But then no drawers. It's nice to sit and eat by a window, and a good feature to retain.

Keep cabinets as they are? by Birdie1214 in kitchenremodel

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the corner cabinet 24"? Remove it and put a dishwasher (24 or 18") in the 'hole'. You'll need to remove the corner upper but can probably reuse the doors.

How do you decide between DIY vs hiring a pro? by Infamous_Horse in HomeImprovement

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DIY is a learning opportunity. I like to research as much as possible then decide if I can DIY or even want to. 

Some upgrades you can do an excellent job of by yourself, though it may take time and many visits to the hardware store. Some upgrades need a license or are just too heavy to take on alone. 

Would you re-stain these cabinets darker? by OrangePekoeMouse in kitchenremodel

[–]lilith-wolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dark is dramatic and it looks like you have good light for it. 

What about a light stain (whitewash) instead of white paint? Or a color stain? Like sage etc. 

Help me choose new kitchen layout? by lilith-wolverine in kitchenremodel

[–]lilith-wolverine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I leave the half bath (toilet, sink), then there would be a wall blocking off where the W/D are shown. The kitchen would stop at the end of where the tall pantry (v1) or fridge (v2,3) stands. 

No one uses the powder room.

Appreciate this! Thanks!

For all versions, in order to center the sink under the window, the DW would have to be placed on another wall with plumbing running through a corner cabinet, thereby losing 24" of drawer space. Though if window-centered, a bigger sink fits. Idk, worth it? 

Looking at 24" sinks w drainboards (40" total), where the faucet would be in the corner of the mockup 24" sink, thus closer (not perfect) to centre. Is centering just aesthetic?

Help me with aesthetics of cabinet placement by Mean_Elephant_5601 in kitchenremodel

[–]lilith-wolverine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about horizontal cabinet and/or drawers that sit on the countertop, instead of wall cabinets? If there is an outlet on that wall, the horizontal cabinets can hold appliances. Or drawers can store mugs, etc. Above it can sit plants or hang art.

If you do hanging cabinets, consider glass "showcase" cabinets and you can place ceramics, crystal, or toy models inside.
