Me either? The layout of this house is atrocious.

This last house we finished had lots of different color walls and trim....and even wallpaper. Most houses we do get one color throughout by owners choice.

Nice details, that wallpaper looks spendy, not many people use it any more. I do hope that old brass finish ceiling fixture is temporary.

Paint by number..... and some got changed after first coat because homeowner wasnt liking them.

Final stages of installation for authenticity....and because I hardly recall doing this one. Island sink...with D.W. to right of it.

Never been crazy about island sinks, always think the funky loop vent isn’t going to work well. I like the scale of these, as I’ve said I like small kitchens.

The last one with the blue island looks nice though I don’t care for the fridge. No issue with French Doors but fridge drawers are a failure point so why add another pair. Also not totally loving the floor choice but I’d need to see it in person before I render a final verdict. Not really a fan of wood or wood finishes for a kitchen.

Thanks......the island sink venting has never been a problem when done correctly. As far as hardwood in the kitchen you are in the minority. I agree about small kitchens....more efficient. I like to be one or two steps from everything when I cook.

Just because I may be in the minority doesn’t mean everybody else isn’t wrong

For me it’s about visual stability and function. A kitchen can be a chaotic place and long planks create a sense of movement. I also like a little contrast from a wood floor and it makes the kitchen look a place to work.

Agreed....this is just the current trend.....and will most likely pass.
Wasnt demeaning your opinion so dont be sensitive.
Theres a reason being a critic is the easiest job in the world. Everybody is so good at it. Spence without your comments it wouldnt be worth posting my crap.

Not a fan of high ceilings.....heating a lot of unused volume. Gas fireplace going in the cathedral ceiling gable end
