Hi KG Tiles, You can put the houzz badge on the sidebar of your wordpress blog. Step 1: Go to your wordpress dashboard. Find Appearance->Widgets. Find "Image" in either available widgets or inactive widgets. Step 2: Drag your image widget to the sidebar. Step 3: Edit the image widget: You badge html you got should be like this (You can get the html on http://www.houzz.com/searchWidgetEditor): You can name your widget or image anything you want. The points are: 1) copy http://www.houzz.com/user/*** (the value of href) to "Link URL (when the image is clicked)." 2) copy 181 (width) and 25 (height) to "Width" and "Height" 3) copy http://www.houzz.com/pic/badge181_25_2.png?v=1349 (the value of src. Will be different if you chose another badge) to "Image URL." 4) copy houzz interior design ideas (the value of alt) to "Alternate text: ( ? )" 5) Save. Now you will see the badge on your wordpress homepage. To illustrate, I attached four screenshots. Hope this works for you.

The very first thing to be done while starting renovation is to collect images/photos of your dream villa from the internet or from any neighbouring site, that suits your style and way of living. See what all components i.e. furniture and furnishings i.e. door window, flooring, electrical fixtures, false ceiling, wall paints, fabrics, a.c. and modern amenities that you want to accommodate, their material, colour and texture, because that is what will serve as the foundation for your budget. The budget is the most important thing in this kind of projects. The budget vs your dream. for e.g. if you have imagined using wood, or some italian marble (which are quite expensive) in your home but if it doesn't go according to your budget then you must keep your alternatives listed and researched very well., which is the key consideration before starting any renovation project.

Many thanks for your valuable comments. 1. My intention of raised cabinets was to clean it daily, as cabinets that touch floor accumulate lot of dust and food particles below. If we rule out steel legs, any inputs on raised floor only of cabinet area and then cabinets?(Just like plinth in modular cabinets- but this will be permanent and of tiles) I have not seen such structure anywhere, so curious if it will work. Otherwise I will go with traditional ones. 2. Moving pooja out of kitchen is very difficult as other rooms are just enough for their function. Currently a small Mandir is attached on wall where Fridge is shown in layout. I thought the new area could be little extra for all pooja related things. Will like to know the reason of your recommendation, is it odd in whole design, or not suitable in area .. or anything else? How about moving it to corner of dining area?

You could go for tiles with design if they are simple ones. if you want plain, you can add some life in the country style with an exposed brick facade or subway tiles. for colours, it depends on how far out of your comfort zone you're willing to go. white is the safe choice, but you can go for blue, green, yellow, all pastel hues
