Various kitchen remodel questions
Comments (3)Alas, most of us don't have a clue what any of these materials look like. Ann Sacks, for example, sells a vast range of styles and colours. I wouldn't have a clue on where to find out what Erin Adams Quilt looks like. I think you may be expecting a bit too much if you're hoping that readers will research all of this. If you could include links to the various items you mention or perhaps photos in your posting, it would be helpful. James...See MoreI need help with basic wiring questions for a kitchen remodel
Comments (7)Thank you. That is basically what I thought. I should be able to remove the wires from the main box and I can cut them back as far as I can. After looking again, it appears as though the disposal is on its own circuit. The dishwasher is on its own circuit. The range is on its own circuit. So, if those breakers are the right amperage for the new units, I can run new wire from the new units to the main box and attach to the old circuit breakers. The refrigerator is not on its own circuit. The old refrigerator would make some lights dim when it kicked on. I am going to terminate those wires inside a junction box with a metal cover plate that can be accessed behind the new refrigerator. Then I am going to put the new refrigerator on the new circuit for the new GFCI outlets in the kitchen. Is that acceptable?...See MoreHelping my parents w/ whole-house remodel; 5 questions I need help on

Comments (3)Sorry for the delay.... Again....my main question for this post is the hardware and lighting selection. Electrical and canned lighting is already done. Haven't finalized countertop but wanting to go with a light granite--hopefully with a warm white background. Tile is last on the list. I call my style traditional but like touches of farmhouse/rustic. 1. For handles/knobs, thinking of darker colored handles and knobs. Or are stainless/nickel a better option? Our appliances are stainless. Haven't picked out faucet yet. 2. For lighting...Needing to replace what we have over the breakfast table. Current lighting over sink and island is a black wrought iron style with white opaque globes. How similar/different should lighting over table be? Keep same black wrought iron? I don't want matchy-matchy, but want it to coordinate in some way. 3. Budget is a factor---isn't it always? So, not wanting to replace current lighting if possible. We still like it. New cabinets looking at range hood wall and sink area with current light fixture. Current breakfast area looking at back door. This bay, window/door will go away as we are adding a 14x18 vaulted four season room with lots of windows, same hardwood flooring, new ceiling fan. Hardwood floor: unstained red oak. This flooring is throughout the kitchen, dining room, family room, foyer, bathroom (entire first floor) a couple miscellaneous views: laundry room view and dining room view. We have stained doors, window trim, and some crown molding throughout house....See MoreJohn B
