Excuse me please, could you tell me if that is a dog or a chair in the lower right hand corner?

Åbne eller lukkede køkkenskabe?
Q
Kommentarer (8)
Ja, nu er det lyse ahorn-køkken til venstre jo et vi har designet og bygget, men alligevel synes jeg spørgsmålet er svært, da det jo kommer an på, hvad man er til. Jeg synes der er en tendens til at gøre køkkener og badeværelser for lukkede og glatte, hvilket godt kan blive lidt rigeligt køligt og klinisk for min smag. På den anden side er det dels et spørgsmål om smag og behag, og hvordan man lever sig liv, og dels et spørgsmål om plads. Har man et lille køkken er behovet for enkelthed større end hvis man har rigeligt med luft omkring køkkenmøblerne. Vores køkkener sælges ofte til folk der er nogle madentusiaster, fritidsgourmet'er og den slags mennesker, som går op i at lave mad og bruge tid på det. De kan som regel godt lide at nogle af råvarerne, redskaberne m.v. er synlige, fordi det giver stemning og viser at køkkenet er et kreativt værksted :-) Men er man til det rene, helt uforstyrrede look, kan man sagtens få glatte trælåger til vores skabe også...

Hvilket spisebord ville i vælge?
Q
Kommentarer (9)
Udover smag og behag, hvor jeg rent designmæssigt synes bordet med den sorte bordplade er langt det smukkeste, med en lethed og elegance som det runde bord ikke har, så er der også en bæredygtighedsvinkel man kan forholde sig til, hvis det også ligger dig på sinde at værne om miljøet, inde som ude. Vi - Hansen Kitchen - anvender kun linolie uden sikkativ, da sikkativ kan være et miljø/sundhedsproblem. Det gør ganske rigtigt at olien hærder langsommere, men den hærder skam lige så godt op og er lige så modstandsdygtig. Et nyproduceret køkken - frisk fra værkstedet - bliver oliebehandlet og ville tidligere i stuetemperatur skulle hærde ca. 4 timer (med sikkativ), nu skal det hærde ca. 24 timer (uden sikkativ), så det anser vi overhovedet ikke for at problem. Vores køkkener er yderst holdbare og nemme at vedligeholde, og det vil en bordplade, der er oliebehandlet også være. Det vigtigste er, at man lader olien sidde og trænge ind i 15-30 minutter, og hvis man i den periode kan se, at der opstår tørre pletter, smørrer man ekstra på der. efter de max 30 minutter aftørres al overskydende olie fra overfladen og den skal stå og hærde/tørre op i ca. 24 timer, før man tørrer den over med en fugtig klud, hvorved træet lysner en anelse op igen. En sådan behandling kan man give træfladen, lige så ofte man synes den trænger, og kan også anvende en let slibning med fint sandpapir (korn 240-400 afhængigt af træsort m.v.), hvis nødvendigt, før oliering, og træet vil holde evigt... :-)

Choosing an Interior Designer
Q
Kommentarer (0)
Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections.

Findes der en app/program til idee fasen af et husbyggeri?
Q
Kommentarer (2)
Jeg er ikke 100% sikker på hvad du søger. Hvis det er inspiration du mangler ville jeg klart bruge Pinterest. Hvis du ikke allerede kender det, så fungerer det lidt som google; du skriver et søgeord (eks. "kitchen" eller "scandinavian kitchen"), og så giver den dig en masse billedresultater. Fordelen ved Pinterest er at det er mere organiseret (så du får kun "gode" resultater tilbage), du kan "pinne" billederne (dvs. gemme dem), sådan at du hurtigt kan finde dem senere. Efter lidt tid lærer Pinterest dig at kende, og giver dig automatisk resultater den tænker du kan lide. Ulempen er at den er en tidsrøver :) Hvis det derimod er programmer til at visualisere dine idéer, er SketchUp en anbefaling herfra. Det kan godt være lidt skræmmende til at starte med, men det er relativt nemt at bruge når man lige har sat sig lidt ind i det. Her er et eksempel hvor jeg har brugt det til at visualisere mit soveværelse: Derudover benytter jeg mig rigtig meget af Adobe Photoshop. Ikke ligefrem et begynderprogram, men der er masser af guides derude. Man kan f.eks. [som jeg gjorde her[(https://www.houzz.dk/forum/modernisering-af-vaeg-i-stue-evt-new-yorker-vaeg-dsvw-vd~5093427?n=10), bruge photoshop til at visualisere om man skal have en murstensvæg eller ej: Original billede: Med murstensvæg (Photoshop): Med murstensvæg og hvidmalet loft (Photoshop): Mht. køkkener kan jeg også anbefale IKEA's kitchen planner (Klik "Åben Tegneprogram" på siden). Det er ikke det hurtigste program, men det er virkelig godt til visualisering. - Og så er det altså brugbart selv hvis man ikke ender ud med et IKEA-køkken. Håber det hjalp :)

Great, now onto other things! Raise the island.... Remove cover, either get a new fan that works so you can take the one on the counter. Remove tassel from doorway frame.... Store items on top of the refrigerator, elsewhere. And the clutter removed from cabinets and sink. Then take another picture so that we can see the kitchen.

Do you have photos to show what is on the other side of the fridge? What is the space behind the photographer of this photo? From this one picture it looks like a complete reno is needed: new floor, new cabinets, countertops. Are you thinking of removing the wall behind the stove to open up the space to the room beyond? Is there somewhere else to locate the stove? This space is a little tight to have the island -- why it's so narrow. I have extended the kitchen cabinetry into the eating area for some clients and had a bigger island instead of a breakfast table. I can't tell if this is an option for you. A mobile island/prep cart is also an option in a kitchen this size. Also, you could probably remove the bulkhead over the existing cabinets and have the new cabinets go right to the ceiling. I agree with the previous comment about changing/relocating the ceiling fan. You might want to consider putting some pot lights around the perimeter of the room instead of a central light fixture. Also, a pot light over the sink would look much better than the light fixture that is there now.

Possibly think about taking out the soffit?

You need more windows on the sink wall. The bigger the better and the closer to countertops the better. Maybe a wall of tall storage to build in the icebox, with a built in pantry. No overhead cabinets on sink wall. I think it would really open up the space.

HI -- Just how much are you planning on doing ? If you are doing a total remodel , then more pictures and measurements and what you want in the kitchen (appliances etc.) is needed . I can see that you may need a better layout . And you will also need to up grade the electric and so on . It is an old kitchen and we have come a long way with things since that one was put in . If you could include a drawing of the floor plan of the house relating to the kitchen and surrounding rooms that would be a big help.--- Yes, that is a dog's hind leg ,- a big dog !

Can you lose the soffit? If so, I'd put the new cabinets all the way to the ceiling. To me, that looks like a total gut job. Can't wait to see the 'afters'!

For better ideas, give more information after you take possession ... a floor plan of the existing kitchen and adjacent rooms and pictures of all walls and pictures of the kitchen from the other rooms.

I would say immediately: remove the soffits and get rid of that corner cabinetry ... you will have better access with a straight line of cabinets.

If that's the dining room through that doorway, removing that wall and making a combo kitchen and dining area would increase the usability.

Imagine the space with nothing on the walls, no appliances and no cupboards. Actually, if you could, you should strip it all down, off the walls etc and start fresh. Often open shelves or glass front doors make things look more open. Upgrade the appliances, stainless keeps it looking light and clean. It look so small, I think I would not make an island but put a table there .. use it as an island but it would be more open looking, with light under and around. I have lost my love for islands.
Very funny about the dog parts showing .

I would take the cabinets out and have 39" cabinets all the way to the ceiling. A few glass doors with light inside will give it a up scale edge too. All stainless appliances and a Silestone counter top with a under mount sink will give it a non-stop counter top and it will be much cleaner looking. Extend the counter to the edge of the sliding door and place a cabinet above as well.

An additional comment; if you do not care for the sliding door any more; you can choose a French door with side lights that open up for ventilation and the door itself is closed and locked. We just did that for 2 sliders we had in our home. Right now, I have no kitchen; counters are coming on Tuesday! Plan for at least
7 weeks minimum down time without a full functioning kitchen. I'm 70 years old and you can do it too! LOL

Here is what I would like:
A layout measured (inches please) It doesn't need to be to scale.
Include wall lengths, Window size (include casing on windows and doors)
Electrical sockets measured in inches from the nearest wall. Plumbing ie water lines & drain.. Doesn't need to be exact but it could determine how big of a sink cabinet you need.
What type of appliances do you want.
Full size fridge? Typically 38" wide by 72" high fridge space.
Free standing range, Slide in range, cook top, wall oven? Gas or electric?
Microwave,, countertop,, drawer.. Microwave space saver, built in?
Dish Washer?
Ceiling height (Please tell me you are knocking out the soffit)
What you want done.. what you are planning on replacing.. ie total tear out (including floors I hope)
Is it in an area that is worth putting money into?.. does this house just needs a face lift to get it threw until you sale it.
How long are you keeping it? Is this a flip? Rental? three year house? lifetime house?
About where is this house? East Coast, West Coast? Mid West? etc..

We've got a far worse kitchen that this one to 'remodel'. But we love a challenge and we love the view it have to the water in the old town of Russell in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand. Loving all the Houzz ideas and enjoying collecting ideas for our big reno. The entire house, circa 1930, needs reworking, so lots of ideas are needed.

hi, it depends on how much or little you want to do. I think you could lose that island in the middle and have a peninsula at the end where the sink is like the peninsula in the picture and perhaps even create a little breakfast bar around the far end. You can use the dead space where the dog bowl and go right up to the door. At the back of the peninsula you can always create a pet station at the back of the peninsula like this one if you don't have space for the dog bowl elsewhere:

I would lose the clunky light above the sink and replace with a spot light.
How much do you think you want to change in your kitchen?

You may want to consider suspended counter chairs at an island in this kitchen. People with suspended chairs love the clean organized look--chairs are always there in their place for when you need them. Flooring is less likely to get scratched or damaged because with suspended chairs there are no legs. This also means easier clean-ups!

A floor plan would help. The flooring definitely must be replaced..it is cupped badly. I would strip the room down completely. Start fresh. Hopefully the soffits are removable and don't have any utilities running through them. But even if they do, you can reroute them. By "center wall" do you mean bearing wall? Is that the wall on the left where the refrigerator is? It looks like the kitchen has an eating area with a door wall in one end. That's where the dog is standing...(wishing it was outside), right? :)

Redid my kitchen and put the stove into the center island, extended it so I also had a prep sink and a space where I put 3 stools for the kids to eat at the island. Also painted the Island as opposed to the stained cabinets. Drawers for pots and pans, cabinet on reverse side for broiler pans and slide out drawers under prep sink for towels, pasta, onions and potatoes. Sounds like a lot but I just actually planned and made the most out of the space. Good luck!

A picture is worth a thousand words.. or so they say. I have a great guide for you if you are building or just decorating your kitchen or bathroom, it’s called Can’t Fail Color Schemes: Kitchens and Baths. Whereas it offers many color selections to compliment your design, it also guides you in counter top selection, cabinetry, tile and stone, you name it. Full of photos, it is a priceless guide and one that will be make your project much more fun and less stressful! I found the Barnes and Noble link but you can also check your local bookstore. I hope this helps: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cant-fail-color-schemes-kitchen-bath-amywax/1110764475?ean=9781580114134
