It's such a tight space... would it be 24"? could it go much more than that really? A: Pantry is drawn at about 30". They do have ones at 24" that we could use as well. **Q: Microwave brand** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand of microwave is that? It looks to be shallow depth A: It is a Fridgidaire. **Q: Beautiful shower curtain!** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m having hard time finding stylish shower curtain like this. Where did u buy this beautiful shower curtain? Is there any site you recommend? A: This was custom made from two different fabrics, and has a waterproof shower liner sewn into the tub side (to make it like you have it in most hotels). Grommets were used on top to give it a more contemporary feel, and safer so that it could not be pulled off the rod easily by the clients young boys. **Q: Opinions on these rugs. Which do u like best?** *(in Home Decorating)* Which one looks best? All are same size. A: I think \#1 pulls the neutral tones of the room together best. **Q: I am wondering about the cost of this ottoman.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: @ Linda - I looked into the invoice from my clients' install back in November 2015. The price could have gone up some. As pictured in leather the retail price ran around $3,850. But with using the discount I offer to my clients it would be closer to $3,080. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. **Q: Need help with entryway ideas :-)** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi Houzzers, I'm trying to finally put together my entryway. I'd like for it to feel welcoming with a little drama ;-) I'd love suggestions for a rug (shape and pattern), smaller console table (less than 32"--should it be rectangular or demilune? I plan to put 3 small or medium sized sunburst mirrors above the console table and have been searching for a 4x6 rug with an animal print--maybe zebra--in taupe. I have found TONS of brown and grey animal prints but no taupe :-( My home is transitional style and has greys and browns so I though taupe would fit/tie in nicely. Open to and appreciate all suggestion :-) A: I think a nice rectangular, open table, or one with shelving would be nice. Make sure the bottom has more of an open design to allow for the heat vent to still be accessible. That light switch is dead center. like @indomom suggests - something on the table to draw your attention. Maybe that tall vase like I suggested before? I love the style of the pail @maureen posted - now only if you could get it in a smaller, narrower version! I do love the round lay out on the floor, and love the other suggestions for materials. My only concern on the sisal is that they are really hard to maintain (my husband is in the rug restoration business), and sometimes sisal shrinks when it gets wet. Just something to think about. I can't wait to see what you come up with! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
