I disagree with number 6, the cooktop should be gas or propane, the wall ovens should be electric, much more versatile and consistent, not to mention reliable than gas. Gas cooks great upward on a stove, lousy in an oven. And quartz countertops are the greatest gift a cook can ask for in surface choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-60317025264494826542013-08-23T20:28:00.175-04:002013-08-23T20:28:00.175-04:00Reading this post made me think about Tracy Kidder...Reading this post made me think about Tracy Kidder's "House." I think we've talked about it before, but what I mostly remember about the book is wanting to slap everyone involved except the men with the tools, and I felt enormous admiration for the guy who built the kitchen cabinets.Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-16442606740617271432013-08-23T19:11:29.703-04:002013-08-23T19:11:29.703-04:00has it been that long? my goodness!
i think of thi...has it been that long? my goodness!<br />i think of this post from time to time and like that anonymous poster said, it was mentioned last time also about pattern language. which has the two window concept(although i believe they would have them in walls). i might add, a kitchen sink in an island or peninsula without a back splash is pretty dumb too.Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288771971363819090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-50401171308190039282013-08-23T17:35:59.228-04:002013-08-23T17:35:59.228-04:00Some of these remind me of this wonderful book:

I said, "That stuff that looks like petrified dinosaur vomit?" The meeting went south after that. <br /><br />What I DO know for certain, is that every work space needs to be wide enough for two broad-beamed women to work side by side, and you need at least one uninterrupted counter-top, six feet long or more.Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-53634176317640691372013-08-23T16:22:11.021-04:002013-08-23T16:22:11.021-04:00Look at the before and after pics of this kitchen....Look at the before and after pics of this kitchen.<br />http://girlsguidetobutter.com/2013/08/the-big-remodel-a-look-inside-the-house/<br />jon spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886632644249920124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-46976231281835439522013-08-23T15:36:51.654-04:002013-08-23T15:36:51.654-04:00Brilliant, as usual.
