    Ventana Construction LLC The siding is Hardiplank. The material comes in 12' lengths, so the siding is butted together at minimum every 12'. There is a 5" reveal on the Hardiplank and the cedar shingles. I hope this answers your question - if not please feel free to respond and we'll get back to you.

    arrowsic Could you tell me which size from Restoration Hardware - standard, large, or extra large? Thank you.
    36 hours ago ·
    Ventana Construction LLC Can't help you with an accurate answer--they were purchased in 2007 and the sizes and styles may very well have changed. Sometimes when our clients are not sure about what size to use, we cut out cardboard or other materials to represent the size of the item and hang it on the wall where it will go. It helps see the real-life proportions and make a decision. Good luck with your project!

    Ventana Construction LLC These were original to the home, so we don't know the manufacturer. Good luck with your project!

    Ventana Construction LLC The above skylight does not have lighting, but this one does. You need to click on the photo to see the skylight above the washer/dryer.
    Particularly when the skylight takes up a large part of the ceiling, it's nice to be able to install fixtures in the sides of the well.

    Ventana Construction LLC yes, the shingles are all Weekend Getaway. They just look darker due to the shadows, which we don't see here in Seattle too often. ;)

    Ventana Construction LLC Thanks for all the comments about the vanity height. We are installing one now with a finished counter height of 34", but have installed them at all different heights depending on the height of clients, the sinks they choose and their personal preference. My goal in talking about this was to make readers aware that it's something up for discussion and with a choice involved.

    custom-tiles.com Helpful hint on tile/grout joint effect on tile installations - your 12x12 tile is probably NOT really 12x12, so if you want to figure accurately enough to size the installation including grout width: know that 'nominal' size (e.g., 12x12) is not the ACTUAL size. Ask or check written specifications for the actual size, try to find out what the average variance of tile size from this figure is. Tumbled tile typically varies the most due to the rounding and chipping at the edges. Tiles with larger variances from the 'average size' require a wider grout line to aid the installer in making adjustments to align the tiles.

    madge007 What color is the trim? Also, what can you tell me about the stone at the base of the columns? Brand name, color, etc??? I love the whole look of this home!
    2 weeks ago ·
    Ventana Construction LLC I believe the trim is just a Benjamin Moore White. The stone at the base of the columns is a cultured stone: http://www.boralna.com/productcatalogue/product.aspx?country=US&product=2662 and is the "Bucks County" color.
    Hope this helps!

    jeanniedrawer My problem was odd...we had a large first floor that the finisher wanted us to refinish in its entirety whereas I only wanted to do the kitchen so I took acrylic paints and made veggie borders so that the floor could be refinished in sections...I just love it and every time I cross the kitchen threshold it makes me smile all over again! The painting was sealed by the floor finisher.
