"I love this "kitchen" chatting, as my very first project in my A&C home will be rebuilding the kitchen.  I am putting in a "room" in the kitchen so I can minimize the number of cabinets.  A mini-pantry of sorts for…"

"Hello Brad:   I am starting to rebuild my kitchen this spring and have been having the same dilemma.  I've decided to go with Black appliances.  I too wanted cabinet front ready, and have had to give up that idea so my money can…"

"Brad, I'm renovating my kitchen at the moment and have selected stainless appliances for a variety of reasons. Firstly, while it's nice to to respect traditional aspects of a period home, I feel that a home should evolve with your…"

"In my opinion, a serious problem with the "arts and crafts" kitchens one sees in restoration and revival houses is that authentic kitchens do not, as Brad says, provide storage and counter space for our current ways of cooking.  So…"

Brad Shipton replied to Esther Khanna's discussion Any Ideas for Period-Appropriate Handrail for a Small Staircase?
"I don't mind sharing.  I am hoping maybe a few others will start to get involved in the chats.  I don't like the facebook sites as I find those discussions too chirpy and lacking content.  There are lots stair part…"

"Thanks Esther.  The kitchen seems to be one of the hardest rooms given all the new gadgets we all think we need to have in our houses today.    Everyone seems to love the stainless steel.  I went around at one store putting…"

Brad Shipton replied to Esther Khanna's discussion Any Ideas for Period-Appropriate Handrail for a Small Staircase?
"So the existing profile is bascially a round shape of some sort.  Do you want to re-use the existing hardware?   If you are you up for replacing the handrail one supplier for stair parts that has a good website…"

Esther Khanna replied to Brad Shipton's discussion Stainless Steel Appliances
"Hi Brad!   This is a very good question, considering how often stainless steel appliances are included in just about every DIY program imaginable. However, I think that they don't belong in an Arts & Crafts kitchen: the standard finish…"

Staircase After

"Thanks Rory and Esther.  I am the home owner and the builder.  This actually turned out to be one of my better desicions even after considering the time invested.  Everything started from rough lumber.  I even had a custom…"

Staircase After

"Brilliant adaptation of the square lattice tops usually seen on fences to a staircase! The homeowner must be very happy. Are these unfinished? I would expect them to be finished in the typical mission oak stain for an interior application.…"

"I picked out the fixtures before I got hooked on the A&C concept.  Maybe someday I will replace them, but being Grohe, they sure were not cheap.   As for the concrete, well, that was being frugal.  I built that myself.  In my…"

Master Bathroom Vanity

"Beautiful work, but what made you choose concrete (over something like silestone)? The faucet, however, seems a bit too modern. Nice slate floor tile, too. I used 6x6 slate-like porcelain floor tiles for my little half-bath to impart an illusion of…"
