FSHouse

Grandma's favorites: For me, the best finishings depend on whether you want to maintain the stained woodwork or paint it. I love both looks although I know that the darker wood makes a place darker. Painted trim is lovely, but Blake and Wayne probably wouldn't approve. Your craftsman might not like doing it either. It might be a guy/girl thing.

I've looked through quite a few photos, and I must say that your tastes are truly remarkable. I can find nothing that rivals a few of these designs.

love that chair V: Me too. I've always wanted to live in a house that would be right for that chair. Looks like something out of a deco-era hotel lobby.

sinks V: love sinks, faucets, mirrors, and even the wallpaper. The vanity base is really cute too.

window seat underneath long window Vicki: I'm really antsy about seeing the house. A window seat could be great, but it's all I like about this kitchen.

Q

Photo

weird, twisty, turny Vicki: This kitchen is beautiful too. Other pictures of this project shows that they've left parts of the home with dark stained wood.

looks like multiple mixed woods, love the countertops If you and Clint aren't worried about resale, a jewel-box kitchen with the most outrageous slab would be lots of fun. I think, though, that we would want to keep the stained wood to a minimum. We aren't planning to sell the house for a great many years, anything we put in now will be outdated by the time we sell anyway. Vicki: This is probably my favorite kitchen because of the countertop and the apron farm sink.

painted wood I find myself drawn to the grey cabinets. I know it's a trend right now, but I like it very much too.

Q

i wonder if we could take out the under the stairs pantry and slide in a little table/bar like this underneath. I love an eat-in kitchen. Wish I could pop into the house for a peak at the space. Once you're in AR you certainly can. Speaking of which, I imagine we need to talk about that and figure out where we'll put you for the next couple months.

interesting back stairs

Q

i think we could fit one in the middle of kitchen An island or peninsula is always a plus if it fits. Vicki: The kitchen is adorable. Have you looked at other photos of this project?

Q

mixed wood, same kitchen from before but different angle. Vicki: Love this one. I'm really fond of the lower cabinets with the cute drawer pulls and beefy pillars. But I think our woodwork is more dainty with that spindle-wheel design that can go way too cowboy if you're not careful.

Q

mixed wood and wood detail, glass front cabinets. This is a great idea for blending the stained woodwork with some white cabinets if you decide not to paint the woodwork trim.

Q

light walls dark wood The wood looks like a walnut finish which is about the lightest wood that I like. Do you agree that it's about the same color as our old pie safe? That was walnut. Yes, I think that looks like the same color. I think the wood is that shade or darker. Vicki: I'm not a fan of white walls especially against the wood. Are you?
