Is this an apartment you own? If so, the first thing you want to do is read the HO Assoc. rules to determine what you can and can not do and what hours you are allowed to make noise. I concur with Yvonnecmmartin, check in with some consignment shops and furniture dealers to see what might be of value. It would really helpful if you posted photos of the unit and a rough floor plan. With reference to POP, are you referring to a popcorn texture on the ceiling? If so, have it tested for asbestos. If the test comes out positive you have two choices: 1) leave it alone or 2) remove it - I do not recommend you remove it yourself. Nothing says dated quite like a popcorn ceiling. Good luck!

Can you clarify. What do you mean by 'false ceiling, with down lights'? Take one down or put it up? Same with the rest of your list. The pictures are clear enough to be able to determine what you've got going on. Clarify what you need help on and post more pictures so we can see the entire kitchen.

Hello there, The slate claddings needs wall washer illumination. Please do that first. Place a wooden block above washing machine and cover it with wooden slats. This will double up as an iron board and a curio desk as well. Coming to the basin it is best to put a half pedestal over the niche and install a vanity mirror with storage for daily essentials.

Thanks for both of your responses CUBSpaces team and Shweta from Shades studio. It really gives a clarity about possible consequences. I am now doubt free about changing whole things in Bathroom as it will be interconnected. However will appreciate your opinion on few things: 1. Kitchen wall tiles: I have those from countertop height to roof(almost area of 6X15 feet) which are good and not hollow. I changed countertop 5 years back without any damage to these tiles. It might cost me another 10-15 K, but I feel the whole process and quantity of wasting old good tiles makes me little sad. 2. kitchen countertop: Made new around 5 years back. I don't expect to get it all intact. But large pieces can be cut and can be used as top for other freestanding structures like dishwasher, front load washer, heighten base cabinets, etc. 3. Plywood: I don't mind giving enough labour charges for old sheets recycle. I am planning to use doors, loose sheets(like kept on bed frame of settee frame.) or parts of big frames like settee. I am keen on reducing waste than to save money. You can see various DIY ideas by western people, who remove or sand laminates and re-paint furniture, or carefully remove hollow tiles and re-attach them. Some are also re-painting ceramic tiles. I am just asking myself: Are we creating more and more waste by use and throw approach every 10-15 years, just because we can afford it?
