Here’s my mostly IKEA kitchen: Lower open shelves are custom built from red oak. They match better than is shown in the pictures. They will stay open and have adjustable shelves in them. I particularly love the backsplash. Most of it is Georgia white marble salvaged from the old Florida Capitol Building when it was Read More …

How about these arches?

Posted on2 July 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

A while back I talked Ralph out of the Craftsman style tapered columns on brick piers, but we both wanted something to make the front of the house look less boxy. The framers made some sample arches and we liked this shape best. Then I photoshopped it to repeat across the front of the house Read More …

Revised Kitchen plan

Posted on8 April 20077 April 2017AuthoranneLeave a comment

I’ve revised the plan for the “Prep” wall in the kitchen. Mostly I changed the upper cabinets and the drawers in the cabinet that will hold all the flatware.
