The sink is on the west wall. |
The stove will go on this north wall between the windows. |
I was lucky to be able to find
a solid cast resin sink at Lowes or Home Depot (forget which) that was a very close match
to the Formica countertops. The brand was Swanstone and it was WAY less expensive than
Corian or some of the other heavily advertised brands. It has this nice speckled color and
as a result never looks dirty even if it is!!
Folks, this is the way to go, I swear !

This shot shows the kitchen/bath/attic wall. The refridgerator will go on this wall between a broom closet and the peninsula. |
The narrow double doors that are hard to see on this wall lead into the bath. There is a small attic above as well as the HVAC and hot water heater. |
![]() At David's suggestion, we had beveled edges put in the Formica and we are glad. He calls it a 'diamond edge' and we think is adds alot. The cost of the beveled edge added about 20 bucks a linear foot, but was worth it. Most people really do think it is solid surface counters or concrete countertops. The beveled edge dresses the counters up a lot and since this is a one room place, that is a nice thing since the kitchen area is in the same room as the fancy chandelier and living area. |

I found this wonderfully scroll-ey mirror here in Gulf Shores at an outlet store. The sink is an old American Standard that a dear friend, Sally Bailey Thompson, gave me since she was remodeling her Jackson, MS guest bath and replacing them right when I needed them. Thanks Sally !! |
David Denney build our bath cabinet to match the kitchen cabinets. The shallow drawer in front will function as a medicine cabinet. That worked out to be a GREAT idea--if you are having custom cabinetry built, why waste all that space under the sink where the pipes are--you can still put just as much shampoo, etc under the sink and the large shallow drawer makes small things like tubes of ointment and dental floss really easy to spot. |
The U.S. Gulf Coast area is the perfect location for DAC-ART architecture. The incredible strength is there for the storm season, and the salt air will not be a problem. Italian architecture, European architecture, and Old World style house plans are a natural with DAC-ART. Architectural concrete is basically maintenance free, so it is perfect for a vacation home and the foam inner core insulates well in Gulf Coast temperatures. When thinking about plans for your home or vacation home, consider timeless architecture with DAC-ART Building System, especially in hurricane prone areas.
