mamlicke's ideas
this is what i want
example of stained built ins and red leather couches. I kind of want the red leather couch and cherry built ins
I like this table as a game table, too
colorful built ins (but I think it makes the room look too dark)
not crazy about colors and layout, but this example has tv off to side
I do like this -- I like the more traditional looks
these won't apply to us, but I like the see through fireplace. don't like the couches at all
I don't really like these, but we're going to have to start thinking of light fixtures
fireplace
idea of what white cabinets will looks like
fireplace built-ins
nice open family room
a wall of closet space in the storage area under family room would be amazing.
corner work area in storage/work room under family room would be nice. doesn't need to be finished like this one (and won't be under stairs)-- will be for tools and electronics projects. will need to be wide surface area for table surface tools, access to light and electrical outlets, shelves above for storing electrical components, window for natural light would be great. heated.
another idea for storage area under family room. big shelves with bins would work (and area for work bench and mud area for coats and boots next to door to outside would be great)
something like this without the moulding/cabinet doors/etc in a more rustic implementation for storage/workroom under family room. Instead of kid bench, maybe work bench area, and then shelves all around for storage. The flooring could just be all weather carpet or something utilitarian instead of lovely wood
something like this for the basement/storage under the family room addition
love this for shoes!
love how the wood pulls the room together. love the light colors with contrast. love the glassed in cabinets built into frame
love the bench with the storage. love the window
love the high ceilings, love the windows, love the brick, love the finished lolly columns, love the piled books, love the wood
I think this is cool. Love, love the windows
love wide floor boards. reclaimed wood?
love how bright this is. love high ceilings. love splashes of green. love no tv or electronics
love stones and wood. love tall ceilings. love light. would never fit with my house
love the rock wall. love real building materials - rocks, wood
I think this is cool but would never fit with my house
like the built ins and colors
I think this is cozy, but dark and cluttered
love the wood. love the built in book shelf. love the closet under stairs. love the warm colors and wood tones
finished columns
column with bench
columns painted the same as walls
kitchen sink looking into gathering room. like three hanging lights in opening
this looks like the kitchen side of the other one I liked (Battle Associates), with the glassed wall cabinets and arch over sink. Tom really likes this with the storage opportunities with the glassed in cases. Nice separation and practical.
I like this. I like the villa cabinets and the arches. I like the opening over the sink
love the sink looking into long family room with fireplace, tall ceilings, windows-windows-windows
I like how open this is. I like the floor connecting the spaces. I like the windows. I like the tall ceilings.
Tom likes the hanging down light fixtures. I like the concept, but I don't like that style of light
I like the arch. I like the glass builtins
I'm not sure about this one. I like the open space. I don't like the lights. I don't like the white counter tops and white cabinets
I like the green paint
I like the half wall where the kitchen sink is, overlooking the family room. I like the arched connecting space. I like all the windows in the family room. I like the hard wood floors.
really like these 2 levels of built ins
