Kitchen Design: Window Woes & A Backsplash Dilemma
Comments (6)Wow I guess we all have different eyes. I would change backsplash to a white subway , paint walls lighter (near white) keep cabs and counter as is and get a custom treatment for existing window(swing arm w classy fabric you can swing open or close or halfway if not sitting at desk) . A white subway tile with tan/brown grout showing in same position as your tile and whitish walls would do a lot. You want the 4 in backsplash and rip out that granite and paint the cabs and pay to rip out a unique window? I'm confused then. The cabs in truth are good looking but older w no drawers. Best leave them add hardware as you will want to replace at a certain point....See MoreKitchen Window dilemma
Comments (3)Lol! I guess it’s just the idea of someone seeing me in my kitchen. I didn’t realize how beautiful the window was until I took down the shutters. Here it is with the shutters. The issue with the shutters, other than being in the way and restrict light, it also is factory painted some weird tan color. I would have to get the professionally painted....See MoreHelp w outlet dilemma under kitchen window, need to make decision ASAP
Comments (6)Thank you @mxk3 z5b_MI we're excited for it to be finished so we can really enjoy it! I think we have figured out the outlet situation. We've purchased sillites which should be small enough to fit in the space between the window and the counter top. Our GC told us that the edge of the receptacle can't touch the counter top. Is that true? @Patricia Colwell If I put the receptacles in the window apron, should I use the quartz counter top back splash on the back and side wall (around the window apron) ? Or do you suggest some other type of back splash? Does it need any back splash above the counter top?...See MoreDilemma wrapping marble around a main kitchen window with bullnose.
Comments (3)I am not quite understanding exactly what you want to do, but wanted to show you a fireplace that my fabricator did in our previous house. The slab was a limestone and he had no issue curving it for the mantle and wrapping into the firebox. He actually enjoyed the challenge of creating a piece of art with stone! You might want to get a more experienced fabricator to take a look....See MorePaul F.
