Fireplace Planning

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Sun, 22 Nov 2020 13:07:00 -0700

How much clearance do you need for a gas fireplace?

The National Fire Code requires all combustible material to be at least 6 inches from the opening of the firebox. For every 1/8 inch of protruding combustible material, you must account for an additional inch of clearance

How far does a mantle have to be above a gas fireplace?

Most codes specify mantel distance from the firebox itself. As a general rule, a mantel is placed about 12 inches above the fireplace opening. Add an inch to the distance for every inch that the mantel protrudes. So, a mantel 6 inches deep would be attached 18 inches above the firebox opening

How high above the mantle should a TV be mounted?

In general, the answer is 60-68 inches above the ground; however, this number will vary depending on the height of the homeowner. If you have to lift or strain your neck at all, it's too high.

What is the standard height for a mantel?

around 54”

Again, “proper” height is relatively subjective to your fireplace, but average or standard fireplace mantel height construction is around 54” above the hearth's floor. Your fireplace may fit this dimension or it might be on the shorter or taller end of the spectrum when it comes to mantel height above fireplace

Is it OK to mount TV over gas fireplace?

The short answer is – yes. However, to ensure your television isn't damaged from the heat, care must be taken to ensure heat generated by the fireplace is redirected away from television. There are several ways to do this, such as installing a proper mantel and building an alcove for the television.

R1004.2 Hearth Extensions

Hearth extensions of approved factory-built fireplaces shall be installed in accordance with the listing of the fireplace. The hearth extension shall be readily distinguishable from the surrounding floor area. Listed and labeled hearth extensions shall comply with UL 1618.

I like the lines of these tables.

Choose a different material for the top, keep it thick,

and you have a very substantial table with simple clean lines.

I like a.rudin because they make classic style, quality chairs.

You can integrate their pieces into any room, use any fabric, and

add a punch of color with one accent pillow.

Both of these chairs are great for swivel chairs.

COCKTAIL BY HUDSON

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:39:00 -0700

Very organic. Set atop a metal base. Could be a console, bench, or even a cocktail table in the right setting. I like the idea they've created.

Strong and geometric. You can dress this cocktail table up or down

by choice of material. Choose african mahogany wood for an elegant

beautiful wood grain or choose to stain it a solid color as shown.

This asymmetrical design seems to be the new haute thing in

organic modern coffee tables. Combine a little acrylic and and a slab of wood

and you have your very own stylish coffee table.

I had to. Hudson.

I had to post this again. So easy on the eyes. This

piece is organically beautiful in modern form.

Beautiful wood grain and color. This piece is modern glamour.

COOKING

In some kitchens a cooktop or range top makes good sense. In large kitchens, for example, buyers often don't mind sacrificing some potential counter space in order to have a wall oven so they don't have to bend down when baking or broiling, and they appreciate the proximate cabinet space available beneath a cooktop for storing pots and pans.

So while a kitchen plan that calls for a cooktop or range top with a separate built-in oven may not be as space efficient or cost effective as one with a conventional range, the convenience and luxury of such kitchens have value.

Gas Rangetop by Wolf

Rangetop options priced between $4300 and $5000

Charbroiler / Griddle & Dual Griddle / French Top / 8,6,OR 4 burners

STACKING
Build a cooking tower by stacking appliances into one cabinet. You can stack items that are the same width or have trim kits for matching widths. Stack wall ovens, microwaves, and warming drawers.

Do you really need two wall ovens? This is something to think about. How often do you actually need two wall ovens? Are you a gourmet cook and do you entertain often? OR Do you bake more than one item often? If so, perhaps you do need two wall ovens. Space is a commodity, use it wisely.

MICROWAVES

Eclectic inspired game room

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:06:00 -0700

Use an oversized mirror in a low light nook

or spaces lacking natural light. I like to

apply mirror where reflecting light and expanding

small spaces is necessary.

That looks like a soft sofa to squish in a play video games.

Use this style but apply a textural super soft and durable fabric.

Grouped and suspended over the pool table.

The Edison Bulbs create visual delight!

Barstools

Cozy warm pillow for snuggling

Cubes

Gray barn wood to accent the room.

Hammered metal pendant light from Arteriors.

Centered over lounge area.

Like the citrine color accents in gray tone space

More barstools, we want an eclectic mix.

Don't want all the barstools the same.

I like to call this the cacoon chair

Organic Modernism

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:47:00 -0700

Organic modern is a fresh approach to softening the old stigma that modern is always cold. Modern is simple. Modern is clean. Modern doesn't mean cold. Combine organic elements with fresh clean lines and you have organic modernism.

Below is a good example of modern details embracing natural elements. Treefrog's American Walnut Crown wood veneer is featured in the kitchen designed for Design Within Reach (dwr.com)

One of my favorite details...cabinetry free of hardware.

See how they crafted the door panels to integrate the pulls.

Loving Nadeau

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Fri, 6 Jan 2012 22:10:00 -0700

I have a few top favorite tile companies such as Walker Zanger, Ann Sacks, and now Nadeau. Shopping at Contempo Tile today , in slc, I saw this product I've been dying to use, the Nadeau collection. First shown is one of many well crafted mosaics. The color boards shown below represent texture and color options. Each color may be cut to any custom size under 10". The color combinations are earthy, bright, and warm.

I'm seeing calcutta marble, honey toned matte glass, transparent glass with water texture, white quartz, and chocolate suede limestone. I love the jade toned glass tile shown below, its yummy. These tile boards may be useful tools for color reference.

Ranch House: Design Schematics

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:09:00 -0700

We are in the schematic design phase for the Ranch House additions. We design to compliment earthy textural elements built into the home. Elements like reclaimed brick flooring, white-washed fir beams, and natural wool carpeting. To accent these earthy elements we chose hand made glass tile, recycled concrete countertops, and watery paint tones.

New Kitchenette

New Game Room Bath

New Guest Bath

New Wet Bar

I've been addicted to Restoration Hardware's paint colors.

As you can see we used their deck to develop our schematic finish palette.

Next step is designing the details these finishes will be applied to.

I love space planning, designing cabinetry, and the wall & ceiling details.

I'll post each scheme and my preliminary design sketches next!

Installing the Bunk Room

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Sun, 4 Dec 2011 14:51:00 -0700

A few months ago I blogged about a Bunk Room we were designing.

... here is the link to that post.

This space is located underneath the garage. Our clients didn't want to waste the space so we converted it into the Bunk Room. Now this once unusable space is highly functional and super cool!

We are not quite finished as you can see. A flat screen tv shall go over the grellow dresser. We predict this space will be the main escape for all the kiddos!

Drapery Made Simple

The simple concept of banding the bottom of your drapery panel adds that

extra WOW custom drapery should have.

A Colorful Master Retreat on the Ranch

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:07:00 -0700

The color palette begins with an art piece by Nieto.

That is not the actual piece for this room but the colors

are just as magnificent and subject matter the same. We worked with

the Altamira Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming to select

pieces for the Ranch House. Great inspiration for developing

a color palette in the room.

I'm very excited to see this room come together.

Antique Mirrors

noreply@blogger.com (Sugarhouse Style) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:31:00 -0700

Antiqued mirrors and glass are so popular right now. You may

have to research your local area for resources as suppliers, as those who offer

great selection are limited. From what I've found antique glass

is averaging $60-80 per square foot.

I found these mirrors at: www.waltersmirror.com

Samples are $30 per glass sample.

I found these at:

Mirror Works, The Antique Mirror Glass Company

Left to Right: Bronze Wash , Lime Wash, Gunmetal Wash

Beehive Glass is local, to Salt Lake City, and has a

handful of options for antiqued glass. They don't hand out

samples either. You will have to personally visit the shop

and see the glass for yourself.
