stained cabinets and hardwood floor
Comments (12)Heidihausfrau, Would you be able to tell us more about your floors? We would all love a kitchen reveal! I initially was going to go with dark wood like your kitchen but I have no window over my sink in my kitchen and I felt I needed light in the kitchen for that reason. I am replacing my Brazilian Cherry 5" wide floors in my house and I was going to redo the Brazilian Cherry. But now I just saw your beautiful floors. Can you tell us a little more about them (Width, solid or engineered, stain's name, brand, etc.)?...See MoreWill stained Hemlock casings/trim give me the look I want?
Comments (6)(We are not going to stain the woodwork ourselves. But we are trying to decide what wood to use first.) Bobsmyuncle: I did that, and it sort of looks like the tone we want. The pattern of the wood is prominant, but not like oak would be. But I can only "hope" it will look right when it is hemlock with mahogany stain on all the doors, trim, base & windows. I don't want to walk in when it's done and think, "Why did I do this!" Paprgypc: Ah, the kitchen cabinets. Not for sure, just starting to pull things together. Right now, we have them as Clear Alder (no knots), with med to deep brownish stain. I think clear alder in brown stain is gorgeous, so smooth. But the hemlock in dark color is more, well, stripe-y. Looks like tiger stripes, I guess. Does this info help? And thank you so very much!!...See MoreKitchen backsplash help please!!!
Comments (4)Here are a few ideas. Not all the counters are GO (giallo) but they are similar in color so I thought I would post so you could see the options. And maybe they can give you ideas. I would check out tile stores and find out from your installer if you can buy on line (although shipping might be expensive) see how your builder can help you stay in budget but create a nice design. Keep in mind diagonal layed tiles can be more expensive. Not sure why, I think it is the cutting or something. Glass tiles look beautiful, and you do not need to get them in this color a simple cream would be amazing.

Comments (2)There are 10,000 more choices available with the right KD, cabinet line, and maybe 20% more money. Already assembled too....See MoreAshley K
