Comments (2)It sounds like you have first hand experience with buying "cheap" kitchen cabinets - they just dont hold up more than 5 or 10 years. There are 2 issues with budget kitchen cabinets first is the structure/wood used..if not built correctly the wood dents and joints break with wear and tear. You can inspect for this before buying new cabinets. The finish is also very important and unfortunately it all looks good to start. THis is where you need to go with a reputable brand to ensure a good quality finish. Price for cabinets generally reflects quality so paying more will generally get you better quality cabinets. You can get a remodel cost estimate for your kitchen with the remodel cost calculators at www.remodelormove.com. To save on good quality cabinets select the finish and style you want and then check the brands that offer them then look for sales and specials many times you can find 10% off or more....See MoreColor dilemma for lower shelves of the kitchen
Comments (2)Really like the counter top combination. To create a finished look (rather than a haphazardly thrown together look), you should probably use the same color on both vertical spaces -- the same color as is between the diamond shapes on the wall....See Morewhat type of chimney will best suit my kitchen
Comments (24)@corner Stone designs. sorry if I had given an impression it mud slinging. but objectively speaking the suggestion to go for a chimney just because someone asked for it instead of addressing the real issue us not what I intended to do. one has to understand all the negatives as well veggie going in for a decision . just like you have the right to suggest there is nothing wrong in pointing out the issues in the proposed solution. none of us are internet warriors but most of us are "sold" items that we will never need in our life by creating an illusion. I know that dinner call it business but I am not in such one and I have the luxury to call a spade a spade. Even now the person who asked for is not sure in what they want but they think that a chimney will solve the issue. engineering doesn't work that way. unless we know what the real issue us, which isn't clear if it is the smoke or the smell and the your of food cooked, the frequency, the 80/20 utility of the kitchen we are not even close to understanding the problem. my intent is to emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and then look for issue and not provide a ready made solution. we can all suggest something by seeing a picture that fire will come and catch the chef if it is located in the window but do you think that what you say is practical. you may construct this as much slinging be as a novice I have a genuine question. how many houses have such a fire accident. we don't even know if the stove is electric or gas. if it is electric then they just no question of fire. so I encourage you to objectively approach and not see this as a mud slinging thing as that's not the point....See MoreNeed help in designing my kitchen
