Stainless steel appliances of different brands next to each other?
Comments (12)Typo on the grades I listed, 302 not 392. My personal opinion on SS: -refrigerator/microwave:doesn't matter, limited chemicals in contact -range: probably doesn't matter; more chemicals employed in keeping clean -dishwasher/washer/dryer: presence of bleach and detergent makes better grades a plus for long term ease of retaining appearance; not sure it matters for all brands since the internal mechanicals of select brands will be shot long before the exterior finish is compromised; in commercial versions 201, 301, 302, and 304 dominate; 316 had in roads on commercial dishwashers 20-25 yrs ago...See MoreContrasting wood floors next to each other?
Comments (52)@ erett The travertine-look tile is too blue for your kitchen. Sorry but that's going to be one BIG clash. The more marble-y looking one is the best match to the counter tops AND the cabinets. Right now the cabinets are driving everything towards the creams (yellow based white). As for running right over top of the current tile, I am going to caution you to think about this one. Please take the time to purchase an 8ft long level (the metal things with the glass bubble in it) and stretch it across your current floor. See how FLAT and SMOOTH it is. Vinyl is highly flexible. It LOVES to dip down into hollows (grout lines and pits in the tile) and hump over edges (each edge of each tile). We call this telegraphing = horrible thing to have happen when you spend money on a 'perfect' floor. I can tell the tiles have some texture to them. That texture has to be 'knocked down'. That is to say you need to grind them (all that dust you were trying to avoid = still going to happen). And then they have to be filled (leveling cement = SLC). But before you do that you probably have to prime them. Each and every 'high point' of the tiles (normally seen at each and every grout line) has to lie flat against the next tile = filling all grout lines. Whew. The cost of doing that = $2-$3/sf (depends one where you live). The cost of removing the tile = $2-$3/sf. The benefit of removing the tile = you never have to deal with them ever again = very good thing....See MoreTwo White House next to each other
Comments (26)I bought a house that had been advertised as a "white Victorian". Actually., it was an early Colonial Revival and from a watercolor rendering I knew it had originally been a khaki color with dark green shutters and a red cedar shingled roof. The white was lifeless so I painted it a soft yellow. So many people rang my doorbell to ask the name of the color that I made some cards and kept them on a table near the door. The closest one is 5 doors away and still yellow. I recently painted it the original color. I wish I could afford the shutters....See MoreCan you put non-matching wood flooring next to each other?
Comments (15)We have different wood floors in different rooms, which we did on purpose. It doesn't look like an "oops", as the rooms serve different purposes and there's no reason for them not to be distinct. (we also don't paint all of our walls in the house the same colors, horrors!) The current mania for making everything match will pass in time. Hardwood is, IMO, the best flooring for kitchens I've ever had. Easy on the feet, looks nice, and you usually get at least one bounce to catch dropped objects. Have done vinyl, ceramic tile, and even, heaven forbid, carpet (it was a rental). In an old house I'd certainly consider real linoleum, but have been perfectly happy with maple for the last several decades. Ceramic tile would be my last choice (well, not counting carpet)....See Moreyolos - 8a Ga. Brooks
