flash was on so the tile looks yellowish more on the family room side

Hi Again everyone, I didn't do anything to the cabinets. I just cleaned them real good, and put on handles/knobs. I also finished my tile job. The kitchen looks decent now. I did a really good job on tiling. Check out the after pictures and take a look at the before pictures on the first...

Hello everyone again, After careful examination of the cabinets. They are not real oak. Just very thin oak laminate on particle board. Because of this, I wasn't sure if staining will turn out good or not. The number one concern is that sanding this will damage the laminate and expose the...

3gmp, I have no idea what kind of wood it is or if it is even wood. I worried that it might be some kind of laminate. I didn't have time to inspect the cabinets carefully. We spent an hour at the house and then decided to buy it. I haven't have access to it since. Right now we are in escrow...

Hi 3gmp, Very nice kitchen. I also plan to add the handles like you have there. Did you have experience spray painting before working on the doors and drawers? How many layers did you spray? Did you use paint brush or roller on the rest of the cabinets. If I decide to paint, I think I will...

I posted this in the General forum but didn't really get an answer. I am buying a house and I thought about replacing the cabinets but we can't afford to spend 20K right now. The cabinets are in good shape but a little bit dirty and the wood color is too light for me. I am thinking about...

Joecaption, Thanks for giving me another choice (headache) :). Now I have to choose between staining, painting, and veneer+new doors. There are 26 doors in my kitchen. How much will it cost? Also, what is the cost of Veneer for a kitchen that size? Will the veneer and new doors colors match...

I am buying a house and I thought about replacing the cabinets but we can't afford to spend 20K right now. The cabinets are still in good shape, they are just dirty and the wood color is too light for me. I am thinking about either painting or stain/varnishing. My question is that can I...

I bought a house that has it back yard next to a high traffic road. Is there any way to reduce road noise, dust and smog? I am thinking about planting some trees or put up a high fence and have vines to grow on the fence. What other things can I do?

Thanks everyone for responding, In San Diego a $450k home is just about average for a SF home so high quality materials are not necessary. That said, if I can buy high quality materials at around $12k then I would go for it. I also plan to spend another $5k for the fridge, oven, and...

I am in the process of buying my first home. I want to know what is the cost of replacing a 14 x 11 kitchen and two medium size bathrooms if I do everything myself and if I hire contractors to do it. I want to have new tiles for the kitchen and bathroom. The house I am looking at is about...
