    That stove is too far away from the rest of the work triangle.

      @ Andrea Lacey I totally agree. As soon as they showed the kitchen, I wondered where the stove was. Then I saw they placed in in the “dining room”. It looks weird and would be totally impractical.

    That wierd kitchen layout. The sink and the island are like a mile away from the stove, which is smack dab in the middle of the room next to the dining table. If you are doing a renovation I am sure that there could have been some way to position that stove and hood in a more practical appealing location. It doesn't look very good either.

    Would have kept the kitchen where it was; removed the island and placed a harvest table in the middle instead. Those back doors would have gone nicely with a French country estate type kitchen.

    that fireplace in the kitchen looks so off to me. the windows are pretty but i'd want the ability to open them. i'd rather have more storage in the kitchen! the oversized sectional looks cozy but appears just stuffed in that narrow space. the staircase looks much better though. the choice of black doors going to the deck makes the living room look much smaller. so many elements not well executed

  • @roccosisto8196

    Hmmmmm. Lots of work but the kitchen should be in the middle with a dining room at the end which would be a better fit for the fireplace. Odd that they basically put in a New York loft in a suburban home.

    People who barbecue or use their backyard for entertainment like the kitchen easily accessible. Don’t know why they moved the kitchen to the front of the house away from barbecue and outdoor entertainment. Expensive to move the piping for the sinks and electric line for the stove Sad to remove the wood floors NO wonder they spent 90,000

  • @Suzi277
    @Suzi277 Год назад +2

    He lied. You could've/should've kept the original floor - for much cheaper too. Also your kitchen work triangle is non existent. Our historical Qn Anne was on the Minneapolis Home Tour back in the 1990s. You just messed up the integrity of a historic home by making it into a 10 year trend. Best to sell it while the trend is still "IN". Otherwise, down the road, you'll be looking at yet another cost to reno to sell it then. Tisk, tisk.

  • @amandavalpey1521
    @amandavalpey1521 Год назад +3

    This makes me so sad to say, but this is a really bad kitchen lay out. It’s bringing back rental apart vibes in San Francisco where the layout of everything is choppy and weird because it’s an old house divided into apartments. Imagine the pain of taking pots to and from the stove and sink everyday. Or a pasta pot full of water all the way across the kitchen. Also, the fridge looks so dwarfed. I mean the wife was almost taller than the fridge. If that’s the fridge they wanted that’s fine, but why not build a cabinet above it? Or perhaps a completely hidden fridge that looks like a cabinet that goes much higher. I typically like their designs, this one is just really awkward.
