My karate chopping list includes flat design compositions using the same matchy-matchy (rather than coordinating) 2 or 3 colors with all walls, accessories and fabrics; the impersonal off-the-rack look ie "Domino (mag) Effect" that stinks of a newly bought elephant or (zebra rug) in the room; furniture pushed up against the perimeter of rooms for "space".

The house has such soulful, understated charm. A curious mix of quiet AND joyous at the same time. Love. Shiva's Eclectic, Romantic Modern Ranch House Tour Flag this comment	3/5/12 1:29 PM

It's a comforting and heartfelt tradition that should definitely go way beyond that first week. New parents are pretty tired weeks/months after birth. A very lovely gift indeed. One that even non-new parents would love to receive, in my opinion. Birthday Boeuf Bourguignon Flag this comment	5/19/11 5:36 PM

Jenn-Air is the "big fish" for Whirlpool (Rpoole11). They also have this 72" (reg. 69") cabinet depth unit: http://www.jennair.com/flash.cmd?/#/product/JFC2290VEM/. Tip: "Cabinet Depth" = 25" deep not including door, but including bulk of plug in a pocket outlet. "Built-In" is completely flush to depth of cabinets.

The kitchen re-do is great! Love the prep island. What's going on with that huge duct running through the house, though? Also, I think the scale of furnishings to available volumes of space is a bit wierd. The pieces/compositions seem too small and clustered together in some of the rooms. Maybe you'll grow into the size of the house over time. Don't mind the bitter-bettys. Someone's always going to be richer or poorer than the next guy. You are where you are.
