Help Pick Counter Stools for my Kitchen
Comments (24)Thank you everyone for your confirmation of what I knew already. I just needed a push to make the decision. I am so bad at making decisions. I waffle back and forth and go over and over it in my head, and it is nice to have found you all to help me and give me food for thought. I have been on the kitchen forum for over a year, but I never posted much, was mostly a lurker. Many there just plain out intimidated me with their knowledge of the tiniest details of kitchen design and planning and the opinions to go with it. I did learn many things there and it helped me immensely in planning my kitchen, but I have to say I feel much more comfortable on this forum and I see myself spending much more time here now. Thanks again!...See MoreHelp me pick a stool, and should I have knobs on uppers?
Comments (23)Okay, so I have not completely ruled out square knobs, but have a couple round knobs I like. A couple questions first, though. I simply looove these knobs and backplates: [Craftsman Kitchen[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/craftsman-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2116) by Howard Lake Cabinets & Cabinetry Dura Supreme Cabinetry I originally wanted to do a full craftsman style kitchen, but plans shifted a little as the project got underway. Would those exact pieces on my uppers look too out of place? Too style-specific? I would spend the dollars on that exact set-up (in black) for my uppers if I get reasonable feedback that they would work. I love the lines and details, the little bit of movement those curved sides lend. I did, however, find a couple different options, a backplate and round knobs that would look alright with or without the backplate: So I want to know "yea" or "nay" on the favorite setup? If nay, which knob? With or without the backplate? (Either backplate, I guess, although I would not put a round knob on that first backplate....See MoreHelp us pick a kitchen paint color please!
Comments (3)If you have some ideas, I recommend getting small samples and painting a large swath of paint on the wall near the cabinets & counter so we can see how they look together. Different lights help as well...daylight (if you have natural light) as well as at night w/the artificial lights....See MoreHelp picking bar stools to complete kitchen! (pic included)
Comments (30)Missy- have you thought about having him stain the wood to get the exact color you want. I stained our walnut darker before putting on the waterlox. Can't wait to see it! Lakegirl- our island is 84"x36"... I just went down and looked at them and it's hard to say if they would be too big for a 66" length...they could definitely be moved closer together... I'm just not sure if they would have to be too close together for the size. Could you order them and hold them up to see and then return them if they turn out to be too big. I did that with the hundi lanterns from Pottery Barn. After seeing them in person I realized they were too big. I have another idea. Ballard design has the carriage house lantern that is the same style, but a little smaller. The capital pendants are 10" square and the Ballard Design ones are 8" square. I have the larger (12") Carriage House lantern in my foyer. Here's a pic I just looked at BD website and they have a new pendant I think would look great over an island. Check out the Calisse Pendants. I might have done two of those of the island. They are a little bigger (11"). I don't know why my pictures are so big. I resized it but it still huge!...See MoreBoxerpal
