We are trying to have a good look without the big bucks and wanted recess lights but want to know also if it’s possible to put (what type of lighting) right on top of new kitchen cabinets that we are going to install ourselves? Has anyone tryed other type of lighting on top of their cabinets and were you happy with the results?

I’m gutting the kitchen… should the floor go in first or should I have the cabinets install first and have the floor meet up with the edge of the cabinets?

So Im remodeling my powder room
(1/2 bath) theres plaster in there which I just painted and its fine.. but theres also something called “Congo Wall” (which I painted over. It’s really old from what I understand. Anyway. Im in the process of putting a wooden baseboard up and the congo wall seems to be cracking a little. Not a lot though. Is this a serious problem? Also can anyone give me tips on putting down the wooden base board but making it look really fancy? I used a 1X2 or a 1X3 I think and I might put 1/4 round too but anyother suggestions would be helpful. So this is kinda like two questions in one! Thanks in advance!

Has anyone dealt with Bath Fitters? I would like to know what they charge for a bathtub remodel?

I have a kitchen that is 13′ by 7′, and a bathroom that is 5′ by 7′. For the bathroom, I am looking to reglaze the tub, retile the walls and floors, new sink, toilet, and new cabinet. For the kitchen, I’m thinking of refacing the cabinets, getting rid of some brick on the walls (?), and retile the floors. The flooring in both rooms will probably be laminate. Any rough idea as to how much this could cost? I don’t plan to go overboard by getting the most expensive items, as a budget comes into play here.

My kitchen has an odd floorplan. It is open to a sitting room and has an eat-in area, but it has a half wall and strange line dividing carpet and tile.

I’m doing away with the eat-in area and adding a very large island. I am doing granite countertops that continue to become the backsplash. I will do a different kind of granite on the floor, or maybe ceramic tile.

My question is: Should I match the huge island with the floor or with the counter & backsplash? I’m worried the island, counter and backsplash all the same will be overkill. Opinions?

The sitting room will have carpet. Wood flooring is not an option, it is what I am removing.
