Laying wood floors in 3 rooms...what direction should boards be laid and color suggestions, too. Help!!
Comments (52)@acoustics...our second floor, where the two extra BRs are, is open to the great room (don't know if you get the idea from the photo) so great room noise is actually louder upstairs than down. Area rugs help, large Navajo weaving on the wall help, but it's still awful. I will never live in a house with super high ceilings again. The heat goes up, the sound goes up, etc. but the worst thing is struggling to cozy up our great room. That'll be another post sometime soon....See Moreoffice entry- what should be in direct view
Comments (1)Any pics you can share of the doorway view and of the room itself to get an idea of your possibilities?...See MoreWhat colour benchtops for North facing kitchen with large windows?
Comments (6)Thanks for the comments. We r Southern Hemisphere in Melbourne Aust so do get hot Summers over 40degrees. The ideas about shades and pergolas are very relevant thanks. And yes l guess l need to find my hero piece for the kitchen and then work colours from there so a total package. Do you think a pale stone will reflect too much light?...See MoreNeed Help Designing Windows For this South Facing Window
Comments (4)What is the style of your house ? The windows will want to reflect this style. I see that you have traditional French style doors on the left of the photo. If you house is traditional in style you might want tall casement or double hung windows. With an 8 foot ceiling you can have 3'-6" x 6' tall double hungs of casements........ I assume that you are not in a seismic zone or a high wind zone ( hurricanes ) ..........It looks to me like the wall would have no ability to resist an earthquake or high winds .......make sure that you are designing safely before you proceed..........See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
