Kitchen renovation gone wrong
Comments (46)WAIT!!! Please don't paint the cabinets. We just remodled our 1970's kitchen. It was teeny tiny with avacado green counter tops and fake dark walnut cabinets. I wanted so badly a light kitchen. White was my first choice. When we went to the showroom my husband and the designer where pretty much picking our dark cherry cabinets. I started to like the color because it had red tones in it and it looked Rich! The whites and glazed ones where pretty but not as impressive! So, we had our kitchen opened up installed the cabinets and had Madura Gold Granite put in. Hardwood floors in Vineyard Cherry. They actually don't have red undertones in them, but brown. We are in the process of picking a backsplash I am partial to stone and glass mosaics. We are painting the walls a sage green. I think the kitchen looks super contemporary! It also looks transitional. In the showroom on the dark cherry cabinets the drawer pulls where similar in style to yours but much longer/taller. They were in shiny stainless steel. My hubby thought it was to contemporary with those handles so we opted for round brushed nickel knobs that we bought on Ebay. I thought I wanted light and bright. But I got rich, dark and warm. I love it!! Sometimes what we actually think we want, isn't really what we want after all. It's been 2 months now and I love it even more. Try to live with it for a while and see if you change your mind. I feel dark kitchens look more contamporary than lighter ones. I hope you change your mind!...See MoreGarden of weeds!
Comments (82)I am a farmer and my husband and I regularly uses all manner of chemicals on our paddocks as do most non organic farmers so that we can get the most out of the crops. I fully understand your concerns but it is unfortunately, the nature of the beast that people want hay and crops without weeds. My husband has done a chemical users course and has been trained in the correct use of the chemicals he both uses and doesn't use and I believe is very well informed. Have either of you done a course??...just read internet information? If you were a broadacre farmer, you might as well sell up as not use chemicals unfortunately!! I haven't told anyone that they must use glyphosate, my response came from questions asked....See MoreSuggestions for things to go above bed and beside tables
Comments (180)@S Mistry -- wanted to respond to the question on the fandelier. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to sleep under it yet but my husband has and said it works well, and it looks great. One thing to note, the fan arrived in a box that had been opened and resealed. Clue one -- a part was not working and it took my husband a couple of tries, multiple calls to get parts, then a whole new fan, shipped. First we thought it was the receiver in the fan, but it turned out to be a bad fan motor. Customer service at Horchow was great, but I wouldn't install this on a weekend when you can't get technical service reps on the phone. My husband is a commercial construction superintendent so he's very capable of figuring out most things on his own. Don't mean to scare anyone, but I think the box had been opened because it was faulty and then resealed and sent back out without a real assessment of why it went back. A real, new one would probably be just fine....See MoreLooking for bathroom advice regarding gap b/t shower glass and vanity
Comments (17)Thanks everyone for the comments. It's a long story but the original plan (which was conceived by my 1st contractor - we are on our 2nd) was to have an 84" Ikea vanity (2x24" and 2x18" cabs) centered on the wall with about 5" on either side. The countertop got templated early on before the vanity was built and because we were planning on going with the Ikea set-up (at the insistence of 1st contractor), the sinks seem a little too far to each edge of this massive countertop. The 1st contractor ended up quitting and left us with a completely empty bathroom but we found a 2nd contractor to finish up this project (and many others). The 2nd contractor suggested that I return the Ikea vanity and he will build a cabinet himself. When I explained about the 5 inches on either side, he thought those spaces would be too small and awkward so he suggested an additional 8.5" towel cabinet so that the vanity spans the whole area. I agree, not even thinking about what is going to happen in that very small space between the vanity and the shower glass. At this point, the tile was already in for the shower so a pony wall was neither brought up by my contractor nor I think even feasible (although looking back, I knew that was the correct way to do it - I was just naive and thought he knew what he was doing.) Of course everything was done (vanity in, countertop set, plumbing, mirror in, lights above sinks, shower glass) in a matter of days so I really didn't have any time to stop what was happening. The only thing left to do in there is the cabinet doors. Redoing everything is going to be quite costly and my contractor wants to take no responsibility because I contracted the countertop and glass installers and I agreed to his larger vanity plan. I've learned a lot from the past 7 months of renovation - namely the devil is always in the details aka find a good designer!...See Moregarycinchicago
