   That's pretty neat. I have almost exactly the same project except only one side of the fireplace and all the way to the ceiling.

   How do you plan to handle the junction of mantle and fireplace? Will you use a scribed filler to compensate for the mantle overhang or will you cut off the mantle to slide the unit in next to whatever the fireplace face is?

   *Looks nice, Greg. I like that you used baseboards instead of a toe kick space. The fluted columns and cornice molding seem to be the right proportion for the cases, no easy task. Just one question--how do you open the doors?Mike

    *Nice workmanship!Did you do the design work too? I assume so from the original rendering. Have you considered proposing a painted crown for the whole room? That would really tie it alltogether!

    Greg_Brown | Sep 06, 2001 08:33am | #17

    *thanks, Piffin- yeah, I design most of my projects w/client input. Real big on makin sure the customer knows EXACTLY what I am building. This is what I am on now(attached)I did suggest a crown thruout the room, these clients could barely afford what I did build.

    *Any way to lose that pantry between the range and the refer? You'll need counter space for unloading a boiling pot or taking the fixins out of the refer. Also, the design shown would need aflame gaurd alongside the range top. Good kitchen design always looks for at least 15" top at side of each 18" is better. Hoping you take this as helpful criticism. I know sometimes clients demand that "________", ignore my advice and regret it later. You're on the right track with making sure they can see it first though.The space above the refer is ideal for a lift door like shown in "need a tile guy" I think by ron teti.It uses a lift hinge from sugatsune.

    *yeah, piffin, this is one of those where the client knows best- When I told her about what will happen to the side of the pantry she said she never cooks anyway- she has an awesome Okeefe & Merrit stove, too.that hardware isn't a hinge, just a lid stay(or a "soft down stay", as they call it)

    *"she said she never cooks anyway-"Wouldn't you like to be married to her? HUH?I think I built one for her......LOL

    *Looks like the soffet above the sink will already be drilled for canlights.That'll be great in case you leave your screw gun up there again.hehe
