Comments (57)valzone5 - LMAO!! I do believe they are meant to place hand towels in. :) That lovely piece of "furniture" has since left our home...well actually it sits in my garage begging to be burned. walkin yesindeed - I will gladly send you a big section framed once i get it pulled down! :)...See MoreHow do you feel about solid surface (Corian) shower walls vs tile?
Comments (117)Hi, anyone from Vancouver Canada? I have been trying to find a source for a Corian solid surface shower pan but am having a difficult time finding one. I've called a few bathroom supply stores and went to a few Home Depot and they only have the ugly acrylic ones and only in white, Corian.com does not even mention this type of product so why is that? If it's such a great product why wouldn't they advertise it?...See MorePlease help!!! Is quartz seam acceptable?
Comments (21)Diagonal seams are not acceptable. They are the weakest, require much more support, and have the most chance of a color and pattern mismatch because they are the largest possible joinery seam. They have the most chance of shifting as cabinets settle and move, giving you a large area of lippage vs a small one. They also waste the most material, which costs you more with the extra slabs needed, and in general, just look ugly with any stone with directionality. That diagonal is not a good look. At all. . A french miter is always the preferred seam for a corner. Quartz is not natural stone. It has zero predictability in color pattern production. You need to have that expectation on the front end. You will not get a pattern match like bookmatched natural stone. Ever. It's not printed from a pattern like tile. The individual solids colors are mixing as swirl paintings that are different every single time. No manufacturer or fabricator anywhere warrants a seam to be a perfect match, because the product has no predictability. Each slab is individually patterned and colored and is unique, and can not ever be a perfect match. That is a as well done a seam as any Quartz manufacturer would promise. It an acceptable match. It does not fall outside any industry tolerances....See Moreugly yellow walls,granite with red specks,Gray backsplash?!
Comments (24)I would clean the cabinets well, and leave the cabinets and the backsplash. Sand any rough spots on the walls, and fill in the nail holes. Prime the walls with a good quality primer and then paint it. Yellow should never have been used with those cabinets. Either paint white, or a light aqua color, or a light green (no yellow greens). Put two coats of paint on the walls, and I think you will be a lot happier. I wouldnt try to even use the stove with that microwave there so low. Have that removed and buy an inexpensive hood to replace it, and an inexpensive microwave to either set on a cabinet, or on a small stand of some type. You may be saving for a new kitchen, but, in the meantime, you need to make it usable. Congratulations on your new home....See Moredenkyem
