Kitchen Remodeling

smodes asked:

We’re gutting our kitchen and have designed it. We selected the highest price point cabinetry from Ikea. It’s oak. Are they the best priced for quality or is there somewhere else in the Greater Toronto Area that would be better to look as this is the only one we’ve looked at.

I have a total of 30 cabinet doors and drawers in my kitchen that need handles. I was told by a friend to make sure you line up all the handle positions first before drilling. I can think of just putting up two sets of string to do this; but thought there might be some instructions online somewhere that are more clever.

Before we started kitchen renovation, I found an inspiration picture - a Tuscan farm scene with yellow-orange fields, dark greens trees, and red roofs and the poppies. We have tiles w/ shades of yellow, tan, and rust and maple “spice” cabinets. The appliances are stainless steel w/ black. The countertops will be Juniperano St. Cecelia granite, which has a light base, with black, yellows, oranges, and some red flecks in it. The sink is black granite and the fixtures are brushed nickel.

I took the color of the picture mat (Warm Muffin from Behr) and we painted that on the ceiling in the kitchen. The kitchen walls will be faux Italian plaster (not a lot of wall showing due to cabinets, tile backsplash, and banquette seating).

The original plan was to pick up the red from the painting and granite by painting the kitchen walls a darker red color (similar to Behr’s Ruby Ring). I need to paint the walls, but I’m starting to get scared. Will the red be too dark/bold? If so, what to do?

Also, when is the balance paid? When it’s half-way done? At the very end?

We have concerns about what’s being asked of us from our remodeling company. Thanks.

What’s better to go with for functionality and return on investment - Stainless Steel sinks or other (enameld like in a bathroom)? I say other becuase I don’t know what types of materials sinks are made from.

I am thinking to remodel my kitchen and 2 bathrooms and also thinking to redecorate my house.Please tell me any ideas or personal experience about those projects. Do you hire indepentent contractors for each project or a general contractor to oversee the whole project?
How did you find them. Word of mouth or ads?
How about the cost? I have no idea how much something like this will cost.
End result: Do you love it? Hate it?
What do you wish had done differently?
Any help is appreciated as I have never done a remodeling project before
