Need help urgently--closet into small study area -- layout ?
Comments (16)I am going to dissent for 3 reasons, though I am not sure I am seeing everything accurately.... If the current wall lines up with the rest of the wall to the right of the hall (can't tell with DH's feet there), I might leave it as is. Depends on the size and shape of the main room and whether that 'bump in' would look funny in that room. Two, consider the doorways and hallway headers. The opening to the room to the left (the one with the HWF) and to the hall will be affected by the 'bump in'. Right now the openings are framed, giving you options for casing or paint color changes room to room. Think about that before you axe the defined transitions. Three, since the chair will move forward when the wall does, the "gained" space will be behind behind you when you sit at the desk chair. You could always put storage on that back wall - but the space is then the same size as it was, and that storage is visible from the main room. Careful design will affect how much storage and function you can squeeze out of the desk area as is. I think there is enough there to work with. Instead of moving the wall, I would concentrate on ceiling to desktop storage. Open or closed. that could hold a ton and would be visible only from the desk chair. A return of 1-2 feet would allow a 3 sided recess above the desk for 'mondo storage' and still leave excellent sight line from the desk chair to and from the larger room. Opposite the desk, make the area visible from the main room attractive and simple: a framed print with a wall mounted sliver of a credenza below. I really like designs that give a work area 'mondo storage' and sight lines that manage to conceal that storage but not the worker. You have that option here. Transoms would be great, but only if they look good from the main room....See MoreURGENT! dropdeaddate in 3 days. Switch to white oak from cherry??
Comments (24)Bmore's second pic shows how the materials you mention would look together. It shows dark to me... I think with a lighter counter and bs, it would look nicer. You own the cork and it is pretty and functional. Our experience with Marmoleum was and continues to be not good. I'd try not to panic and work with what you have. The style of cork you chose is pretty and there any many ways you can use it. We had 5 years to plan (not on purpose, lol) and our plans changed dramatically right up until the final moments. I even changed the size of 2 cabs at the moment of ordering without having any inkling that morning when I woke up. It hit me from out of the blue and I am glad I changed it as I did. I didn't even discuss it with dh and just made an executive decision on the spot, lol Some of what we changed is the 100% better choice and some we could have gone the other way and been probably just as good. The hard part is you get get everything into just one kitchen. I'd have been happy with several counter choices, paint colors and bs looks. The layout was the best we could do at the time, though I might tweak a tiny bit more now that we live with it. You don't have to aim for perfection as it is a room that you cook and possibly eat in, at the end of the day. It is not brain surgery and your life won't be radically different no matter which cabs or counters you choose. Try not to pressure yourself so much ;)...See MorePlease help me decide - natural red oak vs. natural white oak.
Comments (27)mark_rachel, that is what I told my husband! And, Oak & Board, I've been studying this off and on for at least a year. You are one of my favorite commentors. I have learned a lot from you. Both of the samples are solid hardwood not engineered. KD is pleased with the quality of the floor and barely there bevel. Haven't seen a white oak floor yet in Michigan. Well aware of matching existing flooring of which we have none. Need a little more visual interest than the white oak. Considered natural hickory and I think it is too much for me. In my area, everyone is used to red oak. Boring Detroit area suburbs. Not a high end home....See Morewhat stain color for red oak hardwood floors
Comments (13)Thank you so much everyone with your helpful information and suggestions. I might be over thinking the color coordination because I’m seeing some good ideas being posted! I love the idea of not painting my cabinets and wondered if it would be wasted money spent. I like the white oak flooring suggested…. I originally chose red oak only because of my inexperience in flooring materials but mostly because I thought to coordinate with the red in my cabinets I’d need a floor that had some red or warmth. I really do like the picture posted by Beth… red oak with bona Nordic seal....See Moremillworkman
