Kathryn's ideas
I picked up a sample of this at M&Z today. Mirage Admiration Red Oak Sierra is available in 2.25" width and solid or engineered and semi-gloss or cashmere finish. I was trying to match the upstairs hardwoods that we have refinished in two bedrooms. This has the same grains, the same dark colors and a pinker/non-yellow light color, but overall I think it will look like a match.
I am considering a 30" cooktop or bigger. I like the idea that the control knobs are on the right while allowing plenty of space for cooking and placing hot oven pans. The cooktop would have an oven under it so maybe all I need is a electric range with control knobs located in a safe place. I think a 36" top would make the cook (John) happy but I have not asked him. The cooktop is in a 60" space so the cabinets on left and right would have to total 24" rather than totaling 30" if the range was 36".
Bathroom floor idea: Marble look straight edge Porcelain tiles 12 x 24"
Shower Pan 60" x 48" (this one or others) is the largest on the Houzz website. In my design I drew a shower 64" x 54" so I'm going to need some advice about whether or not to scale it back to a normal size.
Kitchen backsplash idea, glass subway tile.
The blue is quite bright but perhaps I could use for color it in the bathroom.
This Marble-Look in 8x16", placed vertically, might be my best idea for the shower walls. I'm hoping it has edges that are not rounded so there is a no-grout look. I'm hoping for something that will be easy to keep mold-free.
I like this coloring but I don't know how I would use it. Perhaps it could be over stove and still work with another backsplash and some kind of countertop.
Armstrong Prime Harvest Maple solid - mountain ice. A very light color floor that might offer the option of dark cabinets or less than neutral colors. However I like it with white cabinets also.
Again: Sandlewood color of Mohawk Maple Terevina 5"
Mohawk hardwood Terevina Maple 5" Armormax. Color is Smokestack Maple.
Mohawk hardwood Terevina Maple 5" Armormax. Color is Sandlewood.
I like the toffee-colored flooring with the white cabinets and stainless appliances. I like the hood. I would consider having the island a different color but probably not.
I like the medium tone wood floor that has a solid color look. It looks nice with white cabinets.
red brick
red brick beige siding
red brick cream siding
Not sure I would do this siding but I would not choose this roof with it.
