Comments (5)Since you have white and black windows, fans, doors, gates, you need a light tan beige rather than an off white cream - off white will just look dirty next to the white. Something that goes warm neutral instead of yellow will work well. Tropical can mean lots of different things to different people - pick one accent color - a lagoon type green-blue-green with large leafy palms, and add a sail shade (triangle shaped) in the same tone to the upper deck....See MoreHow to build a remodel a house of 2,100 sq ft.
Comments (5)Good point @dytecture! We always start our remodel projects with a set of "as-built" plans produced by a structural engineer in close proximity to the project address. This is important because the engineer will be looking at the existing "structural" issues that may limit or at least direct the team toward the most cost effective solutions. Also, once the design is finalized we use the same engineer to produce the "structural" drawings necessary for building permits and construction....See MoreAwkward Blind Corner in Kitchen--Cabinet Solution?
Comments (16)Thanks, lefty47. This is an older home, and just as One Plan guessed it is a soil stack from the upstairs bathroom. You are probably right that the cost of a custom solution may outweigh the benefits. Another idea I had, along the lines of the worktop bin suggested by One Plan, is a recessed spatula and long-handled utensil holder. I found out that Lee Valley sells motorized tv lift kits like the one used in the video above. It would be a matter of getting the contractor to build the box to go on the lift. I'm still a bit hung up on the idea, though it probably falls into your cost-outweighs-benefit category! I may bring this photo around with me when interviewing prospective contractors, just to see how they answer!...See MoreHow far can the refrigerator stick out from a standard counter top?
Comments (3)Do you have enough height to put in a counter depth refrigerator that may be taller than usual? That way you can have added fridge storage going up. Or you can do a smaller refrigerator and buy a separate freezer for the basement....See Morerose batista
