Replace or keep partial hardwood?
Comments (4)Your best bet is to go to angieslist find 3 or 4 of the top rated floor guys in your area. Have them each come out and bid both scenarios for you. Then look at the price range they quote you. You may find that for a little more $ you would get exactly what you want. With engineered floors if there is enough meat to sand and refinish it may not turn out the way you hoped. It all depends on the guy sanding. He makes just a tiny mistake (which CAN happen) and the floor can be ruined....See MoreReplace cabinets while keeping existing floor
Comments (2)Does the same tile run under the cabinets? It should be fine if you're keeping the same layout and cabinet sizes. Just make sure you don't damage the flooring when removing the base cabinets....See MoreReplacing Kitchen Cabinets While Keeping Counter
Comments (1)Hi, all - our kitchen countertop was upgraded to a lovely granite a few years ago by previous owners, but unfortunately was placed on top of 60’s cabinetry. Is there a way to spare the counter when we replace the cabinetry, or is it more cost-effective to purchase a new one? Also, how difficult would it be to remove the backsplash without damaging the countertop? Thanks!...See MoreKeep gray floors in kitchen or do wood floors?
Comments (14)I believe you JUST had the floors refinished is that correct? The time to 'add more wood' is before you have the wood refinished. Yep. You would have had it all done at once. Since you have the wood RECENTLY finished, you are in a bit of a bind. You can add more wood to the kitchen...but then you need to redo parts/all of your existing wood. Oh...dear. It is near impossible (it can be done but the pro needs to be SUPER diligent about colour application, wood selection, etc) to get a perfect match to the existing wood. That's why everything should be done at once. As for the stark white/gray/black scheme you have going on, you will want to add COLOUR. Wood is a nice way to add depth of colour but it isn't going to solve the 'laboratory kitchen' you have. I LOVE red...but that's me. You can use blue (like the colour of the pot in the kitchen) as a BACKSPLASH or you can use colourful ART or you can use wall paint to add colour. Your home's colour scheme is helping you 'see' the 'sterile lab' of your kitchen. A new option for paint (in the kitchen) and new lighting will certainly do wonders. But pick a colour FIRST. Choose a theme for your kitchen and then work towards making it your 'kitchen colour'....See Moreqam999
