it occurs to me that with this kind of built-in tub it might be possible to build in a little bit of a bench (in this case under the window) where one could perch and enjoy a steam

Q

concept for the back area. probably do this for a couple of g, too. lol

Q

nice way to stuff shower and tub in a space.

Q

probably could pull this off for a couple of grand, eh?

Q

here's a tub with a glass enclosure

Q

hmm . . . built-in bath could probably hold a shower easily

Q

looks like this one puts the tub in an enclosure with a shower. I feel mission creep!

Q

wow. nice enclosure. it makes me think about the tub in the master bath--I'm a shower person. Is there any such thing as a hybrid install? My last house just had a shower in the tub, but it would sure be nice to have a steam unit in the shower enclosure.

Q

sink on the island, carrara marble island, clean look, bright

Q

interesting--stove on the island

Q

cool idea.

Q

gotta have a gas stove. Maybe not quite this big

Q

like the big sink and high faucet

Q

nice treatment of the beams

Q

another light-over-the-kitchen concept

Q

not the shape of the skylight, but I like the natural light on the island

Q

dual sinks, hooks

Q

cool idea

Q

I don't anticipate doing anything like this, but awfully elegant.

Q

Not that I want to use wood, but I like the sculptural quality of the bar.

Q

what I find interesting here is the unusually shaped island--I can't quite make out what is going on at its ends, but putting the sink in the island allows for a triangle arrangement of fridge-stove-sink. Given the central place of the kitchen in the house, I think it would be nice to do something special with the island.

Q

kind of cool slide-out storage

Q

nice look/ combines rustic and modern/clerestory (?) windows under high ceiling

Q

Did this in the last house--honed slate under the wood stove mounted flush with the floor.

Q

hmm--cathedral ceiling and no brick chimney. Lotsa light.

Q

broom closet

Q

some built-in open shelving in kitchen and pantry

Q

carrara marble counters! Sweeet

Q

I want two of these in orbit somewhere around the house--one for my tigers and jaguars, one for my snakes.

Q

for the office--lots of light in a sheltered spot/ sliding door w/ big side panes also, clean simple interior treatment

Q

like the exposed headers

Q

vertical lapboard?, natural color

Q

like the casual vertical lapboard--but given our winter rain, wouldn't a regular overlap the way it is in regular horizontal clapboard be better

Q

island seating, island sink

Q

combo glassfront stove and tv watching area

Q

Amount of light--maybe use a couple of large non-opening windows as we see to the right? clerestory sweet as possible-s end of great room?
