Kitchen

Reply to: I did so much research on the 9" crown molding on houzz before putting together this design but then visited a friends house and her crown looked good with 9'-6" ceilings- and it was only 6" tall. So I was really worried that a 9" crown would be way too substantial. I love all these looks- which seem to be different treatments of tall ceilings in kitchens. Which do you like? The first one look so much like a room, the second has the great ceiling treatments, or the last photo, with the stacked cabinets?

Reply to: I really like my sink in the island. A perimeter sink would be staring at the wall in my case. My island is big 95" by 57" approximately, and I made sure to have a big space behind the faucet to elimate any water issues. I face out to be a part of whatever else is going on in the room. My sink is big and deep and even though I'm not particularly fastidious I never feel my view is too cluttered.

Reply to: This is one of my favorite favorite kitchens on houzz...I love how her subtle patterned backsplash gives her kitchen warmth, depth, and interest. So beautiful! Here is her ideabooks where you can find more pictures of her kitchen...https://www.houzz.com/user/lwfromny

Reply to: Our kitchen is 18' by a little under 11' 6" so probably not as large as the middle one. I like the middle one as well- good choice! I like all of them so it is very helpful to have your feedback. thank you again! I'll have to draw one sketch-up option that shows a kitchen with a ceiling treatment (maybe just rustic beams) and see how much room is left for stacked cabinets. I added a photo that shows a similar situation. There might be enough with a 10' ceiling and the upper cabinet ending around 8'-6". It's great to hear that you use your upper cabinets- is there a particular height that you prefer for the start of the uppers?
