Good places to buy kitchen cabinets?

custom cabinets

I am beginning the rehab of a house and would like to completely redo the kitchen. I would like to spend the money to install contemporary looking cabinets with a nice countertop. Where should I go to purchase cabinets? I don’t think I will need custom cabinets, I think the standard will work. Would you look at the smaller stores or does Lowes and Home Depot usually win hand down?

Remodeling a kitchen - how long did it take, how much did it cost?

My husband and I want to remodel our kitchen and would like to plan for the time and costs. How long did your kitchen remodel take and were there unexpected expenses you hadn’t counted for that came up? Were you happy with the outcome of the kitchen based on what you spent?

kitchen remodeling

My husband and I are moving into our first house and there are some things I’d like to do. Eventually I’d like to remodel the entire kitchen, but right now, all I want to do is take off the current wallpaper (on drywall), and repaint. The kitchen has a sliding glass door that opens to our deck, so there will be quite a bit of light. What colors would you recommend? Keep in mind I’d eventually like to have granite counter tops (darker color, maybe black), and tile floors. I’m not into really bold colors, but right now the only thing I can think of was a pale yellow…. but I don’t know how that would work with future work, AND the kitchen will be connected to a light blue living room. Help! Color coordination is not my thing when it comes to painting.
