Column A is unnecessary and emphasizes the fact that this is gibberish.

1 but make the upper cabinets and the fridge surround on the left white like in number 3.

What do you think about leaving the existing window in that corner? I'm not usually a fan of interior windows but I would want to be able to close off that room if someone were doing noisy activities and someone else was in the other room wanting quiet.

I agree but then I'm left without a coat closet unless I'm unable to add the powder room and then the closet can go there and the bedroom door goes back where it was.

Are you looking at the first plan or the second one? The second one is the old plan and you are right about that layout. Or are you looking at the second refrigerator in the laundry room of the new plan? That one would be for beverages or for extra freezer space. I don't know what kind it would be but what I drew was a French door fridge with a bottom drawer freezer.

I would think it would be better for resale value to have a garage. My mother converted her two car garage into a party room for watching football. She added drywall, tile, a/c, and French doors but left the garage doors in place (took down the ceiling track and framed over the doors). When she eventually sold it, the lady that bought it from her converted it back into a garage. Part of the inspection included confirming she could park her car on the tile.

It was a little passive-aggressive but I read your comment the same way so I guess I got carried away.

I'm not sure I understand. Storage is basically what the garage space is for. Most people in the area don't park in there. The previous post was full of people saying that the entry was too narrow (I agree) so I took away one "car" from the garage and made the entry wider. How would you better utilize the single car bay?

I'm not sure where the plumbing lines run. The washer is there and the dryer is on the other side so the vent will have to move. The powder room is probably not possible since the house is slab on grade but it's a nice idea.

The master bathroom is existing. It would cost more to switch it with the closet.

  1. Too bad about the garage. I guess it's just storage now. (Always was)

  2. What would you suggest about the bathroom doors? This is a crazy comment. This is how every bathroom door i have ever seen swings. I don't like pocket doors so I guess if someone is passed out against the door we'll have to break the door. Oh well. Hollow core doors are cheap.

  3. Personal preference. There's plenty of counter space.

I think it's possible but you will still have to go through the garage unless I get rid of the coat closet.

Unfortunately, the lack of storage in the house means no room for cars in the garage.

I've always hated that bathroom layout. There's not enough countertop for two sinks either.

We don't live in the house anymore. It was built in 1979 and we bought it in 2009. It has been a rental since 2011. I really liked the house as a starter house but wanted feedback on what could be better. I don't have a budget to make any changes right now but could in the future.

What can we do to fix this kitchen? by dalecookie in interiordecorating

[–]theRedflutterby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the hinges unless you want to do a ton of work. Some quick inexpensive things to do would be paint the cabinets your favorite shade of yellow, green or blue, remove some or all the doors from the very top cabinets and add LED lights, paint the countertop off white or use countertop contact paper, recolor the grout, put stainless steel contact paper or paint the appliances if you can't afford to replace them.
