## Community Q&A

**Q: Opening the kitchen wall to the patio?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hey folks, as we are advancing in our kitchen planning, more fun questions pop up.

one of the potential changes in our kitchen renovation is to open the exterior wall and place a bifold patio door.

the door would open up to the deck.

pros:
1\. tons of natural light come in.
2\. additional wow factor

cons:
1\. we loose counter area that we currently have
2\.  cooking from the island and have your back to the outwards may be awkward.
3\. the sink would be facing a wall instead of a window

here are some rendering and images of the current space:

few approaches we considered and rulled out:
1  a sink on the island. - i just cant myself getting over the idea of a faucet sticking out in the middle of an island and dishes pilling up in the middle of the kitchen.

2\. drawer microwaves

3\. placing the microwave oven between the refrigiration columns









current space:






am I overthinking this?
all the inspiration images I’ve seen had seating against the glass door and not in front.

A: I’ve considered nana walls but there’s no way to contain the bugs and pests that come in… the under counter microwave is a game changer as is the sink on the island. For as much time as I spend at the sink, I like to see the backyard, etc.

**Q: Can you tell me the dimensions on the rebar? Height,  width,, etc** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am about to create a cypress arbor.  What did you use to secure it to the rebar? Would wood trellis work as well?

A: Great,Jay!

**Q: I have loved this house for years!** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is growing on the trellis? Grapes?

A: It looks like a grapevine..

**Q: Where did you source the stone pavers?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I have been looking for long, thin linear pavers and these look perfect.

A: Thanks, Jay! I'm located in Northern California.

**Q: Screen behind the sink and grills?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the source of the screen behind the sink and grills

Love that.

A: Look at other question? It’s parasoliel.com

**Q: Pull-out Dry Rack** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is the drying rack custom made? Very interested in incorporating this in our laundry room.

A: Nice to fit in!
