Q: What do all these kitchens have in common?
A: They all have industrial pendants which I LOVE. It seems you can't open a magazine these days without seeing one. A lot of companies make them but the newest to add one to their selection?

Trend kitchen design are very fashionable these days, featuring a smoother, cleaner look that blends especially well in a modern design decor. The bowl is installed underneath the counter top, with no rim showing above. Cleaning the counter top is much easier since there is no lip to collect food crumbs and grime.

Admittedly, a homeowner will need some form of carpentry experience or a handy gene to carry out some of the tips listed below, but finding a way to make it happen will be worth it for any savvy homeowner running low on a budget for kitchen remodeling costs.
Tip 1: Order and Build Your Own Cabinets
The quickest way to save in excess of $10,000 during a kitchen remodeling project is by ordering cabinets direct from a wholesaler. Most wholesalers can be found online and will ship free cabinet door samples to help with the decision making process.
The homeowner must then construct their own layout plan and order the necessary cabinets and accessories (i.e. crown molding, accent pieces) to make the plan happen. The cabinets will then be shipped in pieces to the home, in which the homeowner can follow the directions and put them together. The cabinets will finally need to be mounted and hung on the wall, where they can be touched up with colored caulk and wood filler for a finished look.
Tip 2: Avoid Commercial Home Improvement Stores for Countertop Installation
Love the look of granite or marble but can’t seem to stomach the prices offered by commercial home improvement stores?
One of the easiest ways around this kitchen remodeling budget issue is to consult with local quarries or granite manufacturers that work in-house to build and install the countertop all in one shot. You can typically save up to $10 per square foot by going this route, as labor and costs are considerably less when dealing directly with the source.
Tip 3: Add Extra Money to the Remodeling Project by Scrapping Old Appliances
When buying new appliances, most homeowners will be given the option to have old appliances hauled out to the curb or taken away by the delivery person. And while this is generally a matter of convenience for most people, the homeowner is missing out on the ability to earn a few hundred bucks by hauling the appliances away for scrap metal themselves.
The homeowner would simply need to find a truck and deliver the unwanted goods to a local junk yard. There the appliances would be assessed for their value and cash would be given on the spot. It’s a very quick process and an easy way to put money aside for other costly projects in the home.
Tip 4: Scour the Clearance Section of Flooring Stores for Discontinued Materials
Finally, for those looking to install stone or marble flooring as part of the kitchen remodeling project for a fraction of the cost, consider scouring through flooring stores that have a closeout room or clearance department.
It can take a few weeks to a few months to find something that fits the design plan, but the extra work will be pay off when cases of beautiful marble or granite tile turn up for half the price. However, be sure to meticulously calculate the amount of tile needed for the space in advance, as discontinued items are often non-refundable and the homeowner will be unable to order extra materials if needed.

Wood Kitchen Floors

A while back I asked for opinions on wood floors for bathrooms. Well, the response was great and now I want to know what you think about wood floors in the kitchen! I have only had tile (I have yet to have any input into a kitchen that I live in) but I think I would like wood. Are there downsides though? Dents, dings, spills? Let me know what you think!

Improving Cabinets on a Budget
9:45 AM

Repainting cabinet doors can make them look much better. You can also add some simple wood trim to flat cabinet doors to change their style. These are easy fixes that shouldn't take you more than a weekend, and they are also very inexpensive.
You will need 1/4 inch MDF, woodfiller, fine sandpaper, paint and a paintbrush, a screwdriver, a tape measure, a hammer, a nail punch, and a scraper.
First, take the cabinet doors off of the cabinets using a screwdriver. Remove the handles from the cabinet doors next. Now measure the cabinet doors so you'll know what size your MDF needs to be. You will want the MDF to border the cabinet doors in approximately two inch strips, but you may want more or less depending on what looks right with the size of your cabinet doors or drawer faces. You want two strips of MDF to run vertically on each side of the door all the way from top to bottom. Then, you want two strips to run horizontally at the top and bottom between the two vertical strips. You may want to take the trips to be cut by an expert, so you can get the precise cuts that you will need. Attach the MDF to the front of the cabinet doors with panel pins and a hammer. Use woodfiller to cover the holes when you're done. After the woodfiller is dry, sand the surface until smooth.
Now you are ready to paint the cabinet doors. You will probably need two coats of paint. After they are dry, reattach the handles and hang the doors again.
If you don't have flat cabinets to begin with, you can still paint your cabinets and refresh them. You can paint the inner panel a different color than the outer trim and paint the kitchen walls to match the inner color. This can look pretty cool.

Kitchen Cabinets – Plan Before you Buy - Part Two

This is part two of Kitchen Cabinets - Plan Before you Buy
Quality is a big consideration when buying cabinets. If you are only planning to live in the home in the short term, you might be willing to skimp on quality. But, if you are trying to build a kitchen to enjoy in years to come, you may want to pay the extra to get more quality cabinets. Quality drawers will open and close more easily, and more silently. Quality cabinet frames will be sturdy and last for a long time to come.

Kitchen Cabinets – Plan Before you Buy – Part One

home desaint
Before you buy cabinets, it is best to decide what your goal is. Are you just going to replace the cabinets and call it good? Or, are you planning a full kitchen remodel? If you are planning a remodel, setting your budget before you start is helpful. Cabinets are a vital part of any kitchen, and they often account for 40% or more of the total cost for a kitchen or bathroom remodel. Your budget can help you narrow your choices down.
Before you talk to a salesman about buying new cabinets, measure your kitchen and measure the existing cabinets. Decide whether you are going to want additional cabinets, or an island, and if so, where you want them to fit. Draw a sketch of your kitchen layout and include the measurements you have taken. If you bring this sketch and your measurements, you will be able to get a better price estimate when you meet with a sales person.

Kitchen Remodel Can Update Busiest Room
3:20 PM
home desaint
After many years of looking at my same old kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances, it may be time for a kitchen remodel to update the most used room in the house. While many will think a fresh coat of paint a good first step, just ask the person who uses the room the most for opinions. They will know how vast the kitchen remodel needs to be to make it more elegant and more user-friendly.
Making the room more attractive and appealing for all the family members is great, but making it more convenient in which to work will make it even better. Organizing the cabinets and appliances to be within reach for the job being performed can almost make kitchen duties fun. During a kitchen remodel, replacing or refinishing cabinets and countertops can make a lasting impression, but do not forget the kitchen flooring, making sure it matches the new color scheme.
If the decision is made to also replace the countertops, consider replacing the sink and faucets as well. A scuffed sink with tarnished fixtures will stand out like a sore thumb, especially following an extensive kitchen remodel. Replacing hardware on refinished cabinets can also add to the new look.
Organizing appliances to existing space
Simply because a stove or refrigerator has always been in a particular position, does not mean it cannot be moved. About the only rule in appliance arrangement during a kitchen remodel is to separate the stove from the refrigerator by at least one cabinet and try to keep the stove away from the sink. Heat from the stove may cause refrigeration problems and water from the sink splashing on the stove is never a good thing.
Other than those guidelines, the kitchen remodel can be done to make living more convenient for everyone. Ideally, the refrigerator is typically placed close to a door and a counter to make putting groceries away more convenient, taking less steps from the car to the unit. There is some debate on whether dishes should be stored over the dishwasher for convenience when putting them away, or near the stove for the convenience when serving meals.
Silverware and pots and pans are other items that can create dissent, but pots and pans will normally be located near the stove or oven and silverware closest to the dishwasher for ease at putting them away. These are all things that can be planned out before performing the kitchen remodel to make sure everything has a place and it is convenient to keep everything in its place.
