Comments (55)Tia: I wish I could tell you. This was ten years ago. I'm pretty sure this particular style is 'out of date' like so many things go by the wayside after ten years, alas. I can say that I would upgrade. These floors take vigilant work and if I had children at home, there is no way. I have a grandchild who is a frequent visitor and not hard on floors. I have one cat; if I had a dog, these floors would take a beating. That said, I still love the color, its richness, and no regrets for us....See Morehelp me update my brown kitchen
Comments (22)If the floors nearby are real hardwood, you can absolutely continue that into the kitchen. The only issue is that the floors are fairly dark, and combined with the cabinets will be a lot of dark wood, unless you're open to resanding and staining everywhere. But you could get a nice flow that way. If you're keeping the counters and cabinets, I would use a very neutral, solid, warm white or cream backsplash tile. You can look for a new floor tile in a larger rectangular format in a taupe color that is warm enough to work with the countertops. It needs to be a stone look and not a wood grain since it is up against your hardwood. If the floor tiles are neutral enough, they will still work if you change the countertop sometime in the future. You might want to get an estimate for new countertops and back splash, and another for new backsplash and tile floors, and another for continuing the hardwood and backsplash, so you can make the best decision about the direction you want to go and what your result will be. I would disregard your wall color when choosing your options since that is an easy and inexpensive thing to change, and focus on the more permanent items....See MoreUpdate 90s Baltic brown and white kitchen??
Comments (7)Since you just bought it I would live with it as is for a few months. Inevitable you will find that there are more changes to the layout that you want to make and I would not invest any time or money until you are sure you want to keep it as is and just do cosmetic updates or move the foot print around. Even though it isn't your style it is still functional for the time being....See MoreBaltic brown countertop should go?
Comments (34)I had forgotten you added on to the tops! did the painting company do that for you or was it someone else? And you got all new door fronts/drawer fronts? curious if the cost for just the paint and new fronts and the add-ons, came in at over 10? I know my estimate w/all the modifications and new fronts were in the double digits, so I'm sure it was similar for you too. A lot of time posters on here want a cost of what something like this costs. It's cheaper than buying new cabs, I know that. what is the tile you used? (i need that towel hanger over the drawer!)...See MoreRelated Professionals
