cool chair...easy to curl up in to read

Q

Photo

pretty window seat design (the large windows help!)

Q

Photo

building the shelves around the small window is kinda cool

Q

Photo

not saving this b/c I like how this looks but just as an idea generator. Window seat/reading nook in library on non-baseboard heater wall?

Q

Photo

just using this picture as a reminder to tell you that I want to put in a laundry dumbwaiter from my upstairs linen closet down to linen closet outside basement bathroom...if at all possible.

Q

Photo

love the big dog/cat bed table! :-)

Q

Photo

maybe use the same rock that surrounds the fireplace as a backsplash in the kitchen?

Q

Photo

not very cabin-y but I love the colors and the big dots in the rug and the smaller ones in the print on the chairs. Plus, the brown metal railings make me think that maybe going to "industrial chic" downstairs in combo with a cabin feel might be interesting???

Q

Photo

very compact plus I like the microwave drawer. can help keep the counter uncluttered. dishwasher drawer too rather than a full d/w?

Q

Photo

interesting idea to cover the stairwell wall with stone

Q

Photo

the wood backsplash is cool for the kitchen with the glass doors on the upper cabinets...might make the kitchen area less claustrophobic?

Q

Photo

wine cooler, neat wine rack (perhaps using skis???) put into either kitchen or into the family room itself.

Q

Photo

I like the idea of using lighted display cabinets to increase light in the basement...maybe do that to the open wall next to the stairs?

Q

Photo

I like the cabinet style and color...no to the marble countertop tho!

Q

Photo

not a huge fan of shiplap but I like it in this color...plus, the wood vanity is kinda cool - one sink with plenty of counter space. The floor is fun too.

Q

Photo

would love to have a big walk-in pantry in the basement since I have no room for one upstairs...can the laundry room/kitchen area be rejiggered somehow?

Q

Photo

not sure I need to stack the machines but I like the industrial feel to it and the white brick wall is cool...the brick could be used in the kitchen area too.

Q

Photo

nice wall color

Q

Photo

like the built in drawers and shelf

Q

Photo

the shelf built in around the egress window is nice

Q

Photo

love the wall color

Q

Photo

nice colors for a bathroom esp if they're coordinated with other basement spaces

Q

Photo

nice setup for a guest room altho there wouldn't be the big windows in my space

Q

Photo

this is nice for a small shower...in case we can't enlarge the space that's there now

Q

Photo

polished concrete for laundry room, cat room and kitchen area???

Q

Photo

like the carpet runners on nice wood stairs vs stairs completely covered in carpet

Q

Photo
Photo

not sure if it would work in my space but I like the stairs open on one side

Q

Photo

having a bar counter at the back of the sofa facing the TV
