Did you second guess your backsplash choice??
Comments (10)Many times have I analyzed and thought about so many options and then found myself coming back to one over and over (though not always the first one). That is when I knew that was the one. IMO, that is why extensive planning is so important. You really think through your decisions. Nothing like later on thinking of another option and then realizing because you were so thorough, you had already thought of that option and didn't choose it for a particular reason (and I usually remember at that point, why not). Of course, there are so many decisions that don't make a huge differnce. But I like having the peace of mind that comes with planning. Others may differ. Sounds like you did your planning - I'm sure it will be lovely....See MoreSecond guessing my choices
Comments (24)Tonya the problem is what PPF shows is not your house. Your colors are different and that too influences the house. The brick and stone are fighting one another. I like PPF's suggestion to switch out the stone for stucco and then you can paint it a color that works with the brick. Honestly even PPF's bottom version with the stone looks jarring compared to just the brick and stucco....See MoreWhat do you regret (not) doing when you remodeled your kitchen?
Comments (92)Love my: Pull-up KAid Mixer w pull out shelf below it; same setup for Food processor! I use my pot filler faucet at least 1-2x/day, even if just to wet the rag I use to clean the stove top or to add water to the pan I just scrambled eggs in. Love wide drawers (most are 27-36", with one 4 drawer bank that is 42") and no lower cabinets. Love my frameless cabinets that don't have a horizontal bar between drawers. They fit taller items than either inset cabinets or frameless cabinets with horizontal spacer bars. Walk in pantry w shelves to the ceiling. Shelves are only 9-10" deep in some places,but provide huge amount of space. Love my counter-top garbage disposal air switch. Hate my: dark Santa Cecilia Gold granite counters. I'm sooo sick of brown and gold fleck counters and sticking my hand in something sticky I couldn't see. Don't use the kitchen TV; it fights with the sound on the family room TV and DH gets annoyed by it. Wish I had: on demand hot water heater under the sink or in a nearby blind cabinet. Hate waiting til half the dishes are washed for the water to get hot. Best wishes! It's a crazy, stressful process....See MoreDo you love or regret your bold countertop? Second thoughts..
Comments (27)Thanks everyone for your feedback. I waited it out and so glad I did. I smile whenever I see my newly installed counters. Reno started last April and we’re finally done!...See MoreUser
