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.

Oh, wow, 10 years ago! There is a special tool meant just for grout removal, your local hardware store should have it. It will be time consuming but aside from removing everything it's probably the way you'll need to go.

I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer.

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?
