Karin's ideas

for Carmel windows - succulents

Q

The rich blue cabinets are painted in Blue Moon by Portola Paints & Glazes. They’re teamed up with beams and wall cabinets painted in Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White. “The walls have a fresh and clean feel with Benjamin Moore’s Stonington Gray, not a fan of painted cabinets, but can you get a paint finish that can hold up to constant use, avoids flaking, etc.?

Q

master bath: take out wall between sinks and shower; put in a trench drain at back of shower?; install "rain" shower stall?

Q

double sink, towel racks

Q

tiles up the wall? and no base boards - wonderful

Q

looks like panels in shower - no grout

Q

this type of shower arrangement - half-wall and glass - for bathroom downstairs

Q

long sink, drawers/handles, toilet, not sure about shower tiles (grout!)

Q

cabinet

Q

handles on drawers, long sink, gray tiles, toilet

Q

all in one: sink, med cabinet, toilet, gray tiles

Q

half-glass for shower, tiles on wall

Q

wood cabinet doors - simple, easy to clean (no pulls, either)

Q

Idea for table to the left of our sink in C.: put the table on casters that allow it to swing out perpendicular to counter so that it can be used as a work space in kitchen - maybe top of table can be a butcher block? So can be used as table - reading newspaper, working on laptop - and cutting board to expand counter space.

Q

flat cabinets, hidden appliances, wood and white

Q

shower floor - can hide drain and avoid a raised basin. sliding doors

Q

cabinet doors - avoids doors that swing out. Useful in narrow kitchens

Q

like the contrast floor

Q

sliding door with towel rack for master bath

Q

base has casters? German company

Q

like the towel bars under the kitchen. Also the niche for wine bottles on left

Q

IKEA glass-front cabinets - much cheaper than custom cabinets

Q

IKEA cabinets. the "nook" above the sink is appealing; does it also have open-cabinets?

Q

IKEA cabinets but different door facing (walnut)

Q

IKEA cabinets

Q

another way to do coffee; keep appliances in the nook, but pull out a shelf to pour coffee

Q

another way to do the coffee

Q

2nd photo from this kitchen; this would work as a pullout to make morning coffee and "hide" it when not in use (i.e. off of our countertop)

Q

instead of appliance garage...these are the doors I like - open and disappear on both sides; would like this on tall narrow pantry doors, too

Q

appliance garage; long doors with handles to hide pantry

Q

double doors hiding pantry

Q

translucent glass for baths

Q

very elegant; could do wood porcelain tiles like this in downstairs basement bath: flat medicine cabinet, sink, toilet on right, possibly with chrome shelves above toilet (or artwork)

Q

remember, there are some really good marbled porcelain tiles...so this might work

Q

these tiles are lighter - would work well in hall bath - but still, NO grout showing is key
