Can a downdraft be converted into a pop up draft? What can I do?!
Comments (0)Hi there. We designed our kitchen after a kitchen Candice Olson designed from her show Devine Design.http://www.hgtv.com/kitchens/candice-olsons-kitchen-design-ideas/pictures/page-7.html If you notice she put in a cooktop which has a pop up draft. We put in a downdraft and am already regreting it. I was boiling water the other day in a large pot and the steam went straight to the celing. My husband said if we changed it to a pop up we would have to completely change the cut out to the countertops and other things and said that it just won't work. As you can see from this pic our kitchen just wouldn't look good with a vent. I guess I am answering my own question here and that is that nothing much can be done. But perhaps someone has a suggestion that I haven't concidered. Thank you for all of your help!...See MoreHere's what I have, what can I do... layout advice??
Comments (6)Hi, thanks for the advice. To answer the questions, yes, I could move windows,I think. My table is in the sort of empty corner that we have now. Its 5 1/2 by 3feet. I thought about a banquette, but Im not sure how I feel about them. The notation at the bottom of the sketch says baseboard, which is the type of heat we currently have. I have no idea if that has to stay or can get moved around or changed or lessened. As far as the doors, we don't have another door in the dining room, we do have a large set of windows, that we could contemplate changing into french doors, but again, there is heat there, and then my kids would be traveling in and out of the dining room sopping wet. Im not sure if the foyer door could be moved down. we probably need it somewhere on that wall, as it comes in right off the 4 steps to our family room. High traffic!!! Finally, Juliekcmo, you are right on in your assessment with the functional issues. I do use our cook-top as counter (although I would love to replace our electric with gas when we renovate), and I think a range would be our best option as well. I also use my table now as a prep area, especially since its currently right across from the fridge. Thanks!...See MoreWhat can I do to this wall for decoration? Can't paint the wood
Comments (17)Thank you for all the suggestions! This is amazing. I actually just got rid of a light blue suede couch that i've had for years (it looked great) but we switched it out because we have 2 small kiddos. It was a mess within a year. Embarrassed to say, but this couch is new to us =) Hindsight, i wouldn't have bought brown...lol. @Maureen thank you. I think a bookshelf may also work in that space and love your suggestions as well. Off to Winners I go.. I love the idea of fabric, thank you @freedomplace1 something I didn't even consider. I have a whole house of pine paneling so I'm going to try this in one of our other rooms. @ShadyWillowFarm acreage house from the 70's. Working on slowly updating but can't afford a full reno right now and husband has something against painting wood.. here is the other side of the room.. TV will be mounted on the fireplace with a mantel soon. @bever tteder @Irene Morresey I've been on the hunt for a great large canvas/art for about a year but can't seem to find anything that I love. Would you hang it center of the couch or center of the wall?...See MoreI have to wait a few days to plant a bareroot rose - what can I do
Comments (11)Susan, I personally *know* that, but the reason I'm asking for clarification is that the wording used by ginjj makes it seem implied that Just Joey is a rose bred by David Austin, not simply sold by them. I'm afraid I don't see where you think I implied they don't have multiple non-Austins. They have things like Altissimo, Ferdindand Pichard, Don Juan, Cinco de Mayo and such. I've ordered from DAR-USA since around 2003. I clearly only stated that JJ is NOT an Austin rose is all, do you not agree with my clearly communicated statement entirely? :-) Steven...See Morekaren64
