Re: Finding the Perfect tub…and other fun ways I spend my time

Hi Cheryl! Thanks for sharing your designs! In particular, I am investigating use of the Neptune Wind tub in a small condo bath in place of a small traditional tub/shower. I was intrigued by your last picture of the Wind tub that was labelled "A condo bath with 7ft ceilings!". Did the owners use the tub as a shower? If so, did you build anything to protect from water splashing? How was it worked for your clients?

Best,
Steve

I do believe that simplicity is beauty. And that too much color and beauty can mess they beauty of the thing that you've been working to.

OMG!! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the first image of this gorgeous space.. Then I literally stopped breathing when I saw those to die for pendants. Love, Love, (I could say that many times and it wouldn't be enough) this kitchen. The floors are gorgeous...every little detail is perfect.

Just by looking at these photos, the kitchen looks splendid! It has a nice, clean, trendy look and the remodeling project did not even cost a lot of money. Adding those features to your kitchen fit the area perfectly.

I am building a house and have been looking at hundreds of wonderful kitchens for ideas. Though the kitchen you submitted wouldn't work in my house, I have to tell you that it is spectacular -- really original in a wonderfully understated way -- you SHOULD have WON!

I used a lot of hand gestures too when I get excited about something. I speak very fast too. When I don't it's really because I'm not that interested in what I'm talking about. You'r college instructor was right and he saw something in you. Passion is rare nowadays and you are luckily one of the few who still have it.

I work at a "big box" store in the Kitchen-Bath design center...I love Quartz counter tops. This is still a sticking point with my "older" relatives who some how thought they should mention that granite was what they wanted in my kitchen...

Re: Look again at your electrical plans!

ArneSalvesen — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:25:02 -0000

Another thing to watch out for with LED under-cabinet lighting is how the lighting is hooked up to the transformers. I use a puck light that MUST be wired in series not parallel. Most under-cabinet lighting uses parallel so there may be some confusion if your electrician is accustomed to that.

Bottom line: new technology means new "standards". Double check before the walls are closed in and you can't make changes.

Because I’m a woodworker, my vote is always for varnished
wood. And I do NOT like to stain wood, and in fact, won’t. But that’s just my
own little biases. To tell you the truth, Cheryl, if I moved into that house
and saw that kitchen, I would just leave it alone. Even though it is not what I
would set out to do for myself, what you did with it works so well that it would
be an absolute crime to do anything but enjoy it. What you did with the painted
wood and the ceiling and, frankly, the all of the composition works so
perfectly that changing any portion of it would surely ruin it.

These experts know what you need to use for a sewer line or water heaters and they might suggest PVC( Poly-Vinyl-Chloride) as the proper material for drain and vent pipes as well as drain traps. This material can be joined with the right plastic fittings and is usually sold by the linear foot.
