Has anyone out there done a kitchen/bath cabinet refacing project? Pros cons?
By refacing, I am guessing you are talking about just replacing the doors, drawer-fronts and hardware for your kitchen/bath... for sure, you will be happy with it and it is less costly than a re-do of everything... having said that; it depends on whether your cabinets are the ';standard sizes'; available at Home Depot, Lowes, RONA, whatever. If your cabinetry is older and more along the ';custom'; line; you may not be able to find what you need on the shelf. These folks and any other cabinet company, can make custom sizes for what you need but it will cost more. Check out as many suppliers as you can handle and be informed. Not all faces are created equal. Good luck!!!
I personally cleaned my 2bdr 2 bath apt including the oven, cabinets sink, tubs axcept for the windows and?
verticals(blinds) now am being charged $230 for all these items. how can i proof i cleaned everything just how i found it initially without any pictures ?I personally cleaned my 2bdr 2 bath apt including the oven, cabinets sink, tubs axcept for the windows and?
Yeah you really can't prove it. That's why, like the previous poster said you MUST do a walk through or take pictures. At this point you might as well pay the 230 unless your more concerned about the principal, then you could pay 1,000's in court costs and hope the judge believes your story instead of the landlord's.I personally cleaned my 2bdr 2 bath apt including the oven, cabinets sink, tubs axcept for the windows and?
without photos, it is your word against theirs. That is why you do a walk through so things not done properly can be pointed out and taken care of right then, or you can dispute the allegation right then.
You can't.It will cost more then $230 to get the money back.lipstick shades

The cabinets in my guest bath are old (the original 30 yo). They are dark, dark wood and I can't replace them.
The bathroom is very small. I'm going to paint the walls this week and I'm thinking about painting the cabinets the same color to help make the room look bigger and more cohesive, since the toilet is white and the shower tile and sink are a taupe/pink color. I'll probably paint the walls a warm off-white/beige. I'm going to use maroon towels (from my old master bath) in there. Will that look good?The cabinets in my guest bath are old (the original 30 yo). They are dark, dark wood and I can't replace them.
Yes! Just check to see if you need to sand then down first [ depends on what the finish is ] - the paint store people should know.
Do you already have a shower curtain, rug etc.? Use the curtain colors for towels, accessories, art.
Be sure lighting and mirror are adequate, so it isn't too dark.
I think pink, rose, burgundy would all look well in this bath.The cabinets in my guest bath are old (the original 30 yo). They are dark, dark wood and I can't replace them.
Old cabinets %26amp; colors...yukyukyuky..UNLESS you look at it as brighting up an old life, then it's fun! Ignore the ';white'; factor and go for a depth and richness like a mocha coffee or extra cream in coffee....a rich color with a semi gloss will add depth where your tile will just be a glance compared to an eye sore. Keep in mind that a rich color on any old surface will expand the look in the small room and add knobs with a muted bronze that will blend with faucets where your eye will not go right to the old but to the depth of a warm new look. taupe,mocha, sand all look great with maroon and adding a few hand towels of the new color on wood and walls will be very soothing and warm so experiment with some wash cloths in the room...save your receipt to take back after deceiding, i always lay cloths of my ';guess which on looks best'; aroud for a few days, glancing to see the effect it produces...try it..hope you like!
If budget allows, id cover the doors with mirrors.. mirrors make rooms appear larger and more open. Whites also are a good choice in paint because it is clean and makes a room look fresh. Light colours will make a room look bigger
there are ways to dull the finish on your old cabinets one is called liquid sand. use this and then paint with a good primer such as kiltz. i would use two coats then let your inner self take over eather make it blend in or make it pop it is only paint and you can change it if you do not like. take a ride on the wild side and kick it.
One thing I have noticed when painting walls or cabinets white or off-white...you notice EVERY gap there is. The smallest gap looks giant after you have painted it. Best to use a little caulk ahead of painting to seal any gap or crack you see...because they look bigger after you have painted.

I want to remodel my home. What order do these go in? Cabinets, painting, flooring, appliances, bath fixture
What order do you install or do the following? Cabinets, painting, flooring, appliances, bath fixtures. Can any of these items be done simultaneously? How long should each take to install assuming all is in stock for a 1,277 sq. ft. house with 8' ceilings?I want to remodel my home. What order do these go in? Cabinets, painting, flooring, appliances, bath fixture
Depending on what is in which room, the general procedure of events is....
Fixtures... as bath..plumbing etc..
Flooring next unless you wish to at least prepare and undercoat the paintwork so as to save drop sheeting the areas...
If the '; cabinets '; cupboards are fixtures as built ins, kitchen cupboards, vanity etc. then these should all be done as fixtures ie. : first....
Measurements and planning must be made for appliances, before the fixtures are installed....but these are installed after the flooring...so that the flooring is under same, as fridge,stove, etc.
Painting can now be done, assuming all prep work was carried out before, ..... make sure drop sheets are covering everything....
happy renovating.

It mainly doends on which part of your home you are upgrading to, I would say fixtures such as sinks, baths, tubs should be done first, Than I would move on to flooring, these items include tiel, vinyl, or hardwood. Afterwards, move to painting walls, ceilings and molding, this will be a very wise decision to go ahead and paint before anything is put up. Next would be cabinets, I would have a professional install these because they are a big chunk of your expenses. Finally install all appliances such as oven, dishwasher, microwave and others. Fixtures usually take up a fair amount of time dpending on how much instalation or problems that may occur. Flooring such as tile will have to settle for up to a day to insure settlement. They they apply the grout afterwards, if you choose vinyl or hardwood it would be a short amount of time such a few hours. Painting is a simple thing to do, it should fast and easy. Cabinet installers take half a day to be in and out, depennding on how much. Last but not least, appliances don't usually take up a long time unless you run in to plumbing problems or a gas leak. Overall, these improvements don't take to much time if you have the proper crew and materials needed to get the job done efficiently.

I have dark Cherry cabinets in my master bath with white marble counters. what color tile do I use?
I am tearing out shower etc and updating all of the tile.I have dark Cherry cabinets in my master bath with white marble counters. what color tile do I use?
I would try to pick up a tone from the countertop. I am assuming it isn't all white, there should be veins through it.I have dark Cherry cabinets in my master bath with white marble counters. what color tile do I use?
Do you have bathroom colors picked out? Like shower curtain, ceramic soap dispenser, rugs, etc? I would find that first, some I really really liked, and then I would find the tile to match it. I operate weird I know, most people would find the tile first lol.
Cherry and white marble would really go with anything. Burgandy, warm cream colors, subtle golds would go really good.
I would say to try out something with a rustic amber color. Go to Lowes with a picture of your home and look for the best match.
you can try a mellow more not really white but like a cream or light color...
that would look really cool
Wine colored
i suggest you go with a creamish color
white marble tile would be quite nice.
White marble
