Kitchen facelift. Need help with backsplash.
Comments (28)Sure thing! It's a GE Profile range model JS968SKSS. It's about 20 months old and they don't make that model any more. IIRC retail on it was $1800 but believe it or not I bought it used off of Craigslist for $950 from a couple that was remodeling and converting to gas. It's in near new condition and was a great steal. I even had a professional mover pick it up for me and deliver it for $100. The new model is PS968SPSS with a retail of $2200.There is also the PS905SPSS which looks the same but has some different/less features for $1800. Had I not found the used oven I probably would of bought a Frigidaire Galley model FGES3065KF for $1600 at Lowe's. It looks very similar to the GE models and has all the same features (both are also convection) as the more expensive one if I remember except for the bridge burner. The Frigidaire also has a neat rack system. There is a huge price markup for ranges with front controls. A comparable Frigidaire (or even GE) range but with rear controls was about half price so I was having a hard time justifying the cost (I really hate rear controls and reaching over hot/boiling pots) so finding the used GE range made it a no brainer decision for me. I've only had it for a couple of months now and it's been great. The burners heat up FAST and the glass top is so easy to clean. The only downside is that the black top shows dust really easy. Good luck let me know you decide!...See MoreDoes Your Nashville Kitchen need a facelift?
Comments (0)Received this today in my inbox. The tile company that I won my tile from is part of this contest, so it's legit. Not a big ticket makeover, but you know, this might help out someone whose kitchen needs a refresher. I would have to guess your odds of winning are not too bad either, since it isn't exactly something that is being sponsored by a national company.

Comments (15)I have been thinking about taking down the hanging cabinets for awhile. I’ve never thought to lower the bar counter, but now thinking that might be a good idea. With making big changes in the kitchen, what is the best thing to start with? Backsplash, countertop, cabinet color? I am someone who likes to make one change at a time and then makes my next aesthetic decision based on that. I have several pictures pinned of kitchen makeovers I like and all of them are very similar in color schemes....See MoreSmall dark kitchen needs a facelift!
Comments (35)Yes, work on the lighting. Leave the cabinets alone. The appliances are fine for now, let them age out on their own rather than wasting them in a landfill. Your floor is fine! Cpartist has great color suggestions - she has the artist's background for making them, too. Once you do lighting, and begin to decide on paint color, approach the backsplash. I personally dislike white subway tiles (reminds me of old dormitory bathrooms and dirty subway stations) but I'm a decided minority on that. But something less flashy than what you've got. Definitely change the hardware to metal....See MoreCarolyn Sheridan
