Pantry or open floor plan? Which would you choose?
Comments (4)Please post more pictures. Don't worry about the mess. The more pictures the better. Please draw out the basic floor plan, as is, on graph paper if you can. A rough sketch is even okay. And YES... I'm talking the whole entire first floor around the kitchen showing as much as possible. :-) Label the sizes in feet and inches of all the walls, that staircase, and any window or doors. If you do that, let me tell ya from experience, you will get the most amazing help! The thread you want to read is this... Read this!...See MoreWhich hardwood floor stain would you pick?
Comments (17)I agree with everyone's advice here and I am someone who usually likes gray. I think gray hardwood only looks good if it looks like the wood naturally aged. Wood is a thing found in nature, so embrace its natural warmth. I really like suzyq53's inspiration photos for your floors, but you could probably do a custom mix that is a medium cool brown if you think those are too warm. I just think your current stain color samples are too grayed out and because your floors are red oak, the lighter you go, the more pink it will look. Also, you should choose a stain color you LOVE and not worry about the dog hair so much in influencing your floor color. They are floors, meant for us to walk on, and are going to get dirty regardless of your shedding pup's hair color. Instead of trying to hide dirt and hair on the floor, just come up with a good cleaning schedule -- maybe get a robot vacuum that can clean the floors everyday while you're out....See MoreWhich stain would you pick?
Comments (3)I don't like the existing finish, but selecting a new finish altogether I think would look quite odd as the rest of the first floor is what I've shown in the image. I would have this room sanded and re-stained whenever we do the whole house in the future so everything matches. You don't think if I left the floor natural or say special walnut would look odd going from the kitchen into this room?...See MoreWhich floor plan would you choose for 2nd floor?
Comments (24)I find it hard to offer up or encourage mediocre or substandard. I understand there is a lot of information and circumstances that effect a design; but when that information and circumstances is not made known, it is next to impossible to give valid advice and assumptions have to be made. I assume people are here asking questions to improve what they have to the highest degree possible, and I point out areas I see that could be improved or I offer a conceptual solution to improve what they have knowing full well there may be extenuating circumstances that lead them to what they have. I see many times people are under the impression that they can not afford the services of an architect, where in reality it is that they can not afford the one architect they talked to or are relying on hearsay. There are architects out there for just about any budget. There is most of the time a big difference between architects and house designers and the like. That is something even the people at Houzz can't figure out. Perhaps the lack of plans offered up for review here on Houzz is a result of people realizing that the best way to have the home they need and want is to sit down with an architect and get to know each other. The architect can discover their needs and wants, walk the site with them, discuss at length the dreams and possibilities of what their home can be. The owner can ask questions and see their home develop before their eyes in the form of sketches and scribbles; a personal/professional interaction that creates home. Perhaps I am being overly optimistic....See MoreHU-954691394
