Thank you for the idea!

I have been pondering for two years how I will build my patio in my new house. We live in OH and get a bit of snow and rain, so my concern was how to properly add slope to drain and not have it collect n areas. My house similar to this home, with tow opposing gable ends, which was making it difficult for me to figure out the slope. I was also worried about blocking out the sunlight coming in to the kitchen, but with the polycarbonate roofing sheets, plenty of light will come through.

Thanks again for the grandiose idea!

I have drafted a plan based on your design and wanted to share it with everyone here.

Hi Hector,

I would recommend that you consult with a structural engineer (we did on our design) to make sure that you take into account such issues as snow load, extreme wind and soil stability. Structural requirements vary state to state and in some states, building such a structure may require a building permit and approved structural calculations. Here in California, with our expansive soil type and the potential for earthquakes, additional structural measures had to be taken: deep pier foundations, metal connectors between beams, larger beams and rafter supports. Best of luck on your project!

Just a quick note to thank you all for sharing your thought, ideas, experience and time. I especially want to thank Bluenan and decoenthusiaste for being with me through the all process for the last 6 months or so..., just wanted to post few photos of the results (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/any-ideas-for-final-touches-to-this-living-dinning-room-dsvw-vd~569586) as I feel it is not only me who created this space but it is your creations as much as mine. It may not be perfect or according to the the "Rules", but it is Me and my family. Each and every piece was chosen by me in different parts of the world and each one of them has a unique story behind. I am very pleased with my space. I love it! I am very blessed. .... and so I am off to my new project now... Back to school.... that's really going to be hard ;) Thank you all, once again.

Paint ideas living space

I'd paint white the TV wall in oder to make it visually higher and to hide the white color of the door, now the dark color under lines that it is rather low and different from two main doors color and height of third one. I like brown FP wall, it works good with sofas and will attract eyes visually raising the ceiling above TV furniture. And one more thing I'd think about: the 1-st photo shows that there are too much unconnected different heights (doors, mirror, TV furniture, FP wall, ceiling). Definitely some heights are needed to be connected. I'd put lower the mirror and the shelf above FP so that the TV furniture and the mirror up lines were the same height. To bring more colors into the room as it was mentioned above I'd pick up some colors from the art work for cushions and curtains.

Ideas for total kitchen revamp
Q

Hi all..by chance i found this site and have received great advise. So thank you. Recently bought a 2 bed terrace. The kitchen was never updated and is quite the eyesore ! Im looking to carry out a complete revamp. I'm at a loss as to how to make best use of the space. It's the one space I like to spend time in.. no kids so not a consideration. I will attach some measurements and photos. I would love to get some views/opinions from you. Unfortunately I just don't have a great eye for this . It is a compact size I guess. Dining will be in kitchen also. I'm not too bother about separate table. Love the idea of breakfast bar/small island/ galley style but I'm not sure if space allows. Ideally I'd like to extend out the back garden but it's just too expensive. Moving rads.. knocking internal walls etc are all things I'd def consider All ideas welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be pulling a permit and will be pouring footings past the frost line. I will look into getting an engineer looking into it.

The build was a success. Here are some pictures of the result. Still have to add some finishing touches, like rollup shade screens, a gas fireplace, more lighting, and wrapping the beams and posts with cedar to give it an authentic solid beam.
