How much should 7 feet of cabinets w/ counter & back splash cost?
Comments (16)There are lots of durable and functional cabinets out there. I looked at and liked Cliq Studios, if you want framed. Your existing cabs are a fairly common design, should be easy to find something very close. I agree you should start out at Home Depot or Lowe's. You may find just what you want in your budget. For your countertop, you should be able to come up with a sq. ft. amount of counter space, then you can compare prices per sq.ft. Home Depot has an online countertop calculator to estimate countertops, using their selection of materials and prices. I found it very useful. Be careful that a 25" wide countertop doesn't block your doorway even more, leave plenty of room to get around the counter and through the door. I personally wouldn't like the look of mixing acrylic backsplash with quartz. As to granite, I have been told that there is more permanent type sealer available now, doesn't need redoing every year. And, at least in my area, it can be very economical, far less than any acrylic (a limited choice of stone at that low end, though)...See MoreBack splash help needed please.
Comments (20)Pretty tile. Are your shelves extending to the edge of the countertop? The question most frequently asked is: do you end the tile at the cabinets (shelves, in your case) or at the countertop? Is that a closed door to the right of the outlet? Is the outlet a light switch? I would think it would look odd to go to the floor unless you also went to the ceiling....See MoreHi Designers! Need help designing this bedroom makeover. Modern Forest
Comments (95)I'm going back and forth on adding in some small streaks of the green and bits of silver. Here's what I'm thinking as of now: 1) Base coat - Color match to the beige/light gray in the pillow that comes with set (see picture of forest green comforter I added above.) 2) Add a FEW streaks ("strie"- the vertical lines), of the green and light gray (or whatever the "beige/light gray" pillow color is). I would add maybe 1 streak of each every 7 - 8 inches. I probably wouldn't even be using a teaspoon of each color for the entire wall. I doubt it would even show in the pictures, but when one is in the room, they would see a very subtle lines of the green and light gray. And if I even change the comforter, I could just paint over the green and light gray streaks. 3) Add the metallic paint (something light and "pearly") as the final coat on the headboard wall. 4) Paint the rest of the walls in the base coat (the beige/ light gray color matched from the pillow.) I really like the "drama" of the forest green comforter against the light walls. I also love that large gold metallic vase in @Molly 's picture. Thinking of doing something like that in a pewter. Now just have to find a massive vase that doesn't cost $300+ dollars....See MoreHELP! The wood back on my antique mirror needs to be re-nailed!
Comments (12)Marv did something! It looks like you have two problems: the mirror backing and the loose trim pieces. I'm not sure how to deal with either. It depends on how "original" you want to keep it I guess. Small dab of wood glue for the trim bits I guess, after you get it all cleaned up? Don't try to fix all the cracks and make it look perfect. Go for Clean, with Character. To reattach the backing, you'll probably want too pull out the old nails and use new ones in slightly different spots, so with new holes in backing and frame (pilot holes, please!). If the backing is warped, it won't work as well, but you don't want to replace the backing because Marv will haunt you. :) Maybe instead, use regular mirror clip things, as low profile as you can find, and then loosely reattach Marv's backing. You do want that mirror snug inside if you're going to hang it. I don't know about this, though. I'd probably spend some time browsing in the hardware store which we aren't supposed to be doing right now....See MoreShellKing
