Crazy Cous


My husband and I are remodeling & adding to our house. Our architect came up with a design that has ample room for the kitchen and dining areas of the great room, but it looks like the living/family room section will only be 12'x 22'8". Does that seem like enough space?
The overall size of the great room is the previously mentioned size, plus 30'6" x 20' for the kitchen and dining area.



Answer
My kitchen is about 14 x 20, and dining about 18 x 14 with a large fireplace in-between. My living area is to the side of that and it is I think 16 x 26, which is pretty much the same shape as what you have. It was a little odd at first, but it ended up working great. We have a family of six and so we need different "zones" to do things in so I basically split the room. I have the t.v. on one of the short walls with the seating facing that and that gives me room for the bookcases and chairs on the other side. This way we can all be in the same room but not right on top of each other. I also still have room for a small desk to put a laptop on if I choose to do that. It still looks very open (we have a modern style, so that is of importance). I do have one whole wall made of windows/doors so that could be part of it. I'm excited for you- good luck!!

What is the nicest hotel in New York City for someone on a budget?




kbrearley2


I am coming from the Binghamton area and will be in New York City for the first time. My stay will be short as I am on a budget. I can only spend $80 to $110 per night. Is this possible?


Answer
Years ago you had to call every hotel and hope to get a great deal. Now DEALS are only a CLICK away on your mouse!

The first two links are to HOTELS.COM You will have to go to the home page and put in the dates you want to go and it WILL search for the best prices.

The second link I gave you was just so SEE the hotels and get an idea of what is available--you can even sort by price! Now granted the CHEAP hotels are usually only one or two star hotels...it's your call.

Start with the lowest reasonable price for you (say $75.00) and look at how the hotel was rated by guests. And remember hotels are going to be more expensive on the weekend....

The 3rd link is for MY pick for a decent hotel at a good price with a high customer satisfaction rate.
