What are these kitchen cabinet upgrades called?

December 28, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 2 Comments →

LWIRE98 asked:

What is the technical term for the cabinet additions that go on either side of upper kitchen cabinets that are at a 45 degree angle? Like instead of the cabinets ending bluntly in a 90 degree angle from the side of the cabinet it tapers to the wall at a 45 degree angle and gives a little extra cabinet space for spices or other small stuff. There would be one extra thin cabinet door and triangular shelves. Know what I mean?

What is this called so I can look them up. I have tried searching all kinds of keywords and I can’t find one pic anywhere on the net.

Thanks!!!!

question about kitchen remodeling?

December 14, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 6 Comments →

zack’s mom 10*26*07 asked:

my husband and i just bought our first home (yay). it was built in 1978, and needs some cosmetic work. its in really good shape for the most part, just needs things like new carpet and a fresh coat of paint in every room. no big deal.

the kitchen is huge, and needs the most work. the floor is good, but the countertop needs replacing, and needs new cabinets.

anyone know of inexpensive ways to update the kitchn, where we are not spending thousands of dollars. my husband thiks it can wait a few years, but im seriously going to go insane with teeny tiny cabinets that have been there for 30 years and a cracked countertop.

i love granite, but know its pretty pricy. any ideas of a durable countertop thats less expensive? and cabinets that dont cost thousands?

thanks!
also, the kitchen has a brick backsplash, that has been painted white. anyone know if you can add a tile backsplash over the brick or does it need to be replaced first?
