There are many reasons why you may want to remodel your kitchen. It could be that the kitchen is a disaster or you may just need to freshen up the place. Even after this, there are other factors to consider in any kitchen remodeling plans. Do you want to spend extended periods doing this or having work crews in your house? Do you want to spend money doing this and if so how much? Will the remodeling be surface level renovation or deep-down?
Once you have determined what you want, look up ideas on how to go about it. Since renovation usually starts with a design, consider its convenience, organization and functionality. kitchen remodeling plan designs are plenty and the challenge will not be locating one but rather deciding which one among the many you will employ. You will want to select a design that employs the 3 elements in a balanced way. A layout like the drive-through is designed for a dual entrance and exit on opposite ends of your kitchen. If you have a small house with a lot of traffic, this is a great layout to have. Another design is the U-Turn. This layout has an open floor plan that overlooks the living or dining room. This layout provides the most storage, functionality and most cabinets depending on the size of your kitchen. Other designs include the Corner which provides a lot of counter space and storage below, the Arrow and the Corral. Whichever design you choose, there are universal points that apply to all of these designs; triangulation, which provides best functionality by aligning sinks, ranges and refrigeration in a triangular form, provide ample space for countertop areas, keep dishwashers within sink distance, approximately 3 feet, keep kitchen isles to at least 42 inches wide and any cabinet doors installed should not hit when they are opened.
kitchen remodeling plans also means that you budget how you will spend on the entire project. Decide in advance how much you want to spend and stick to it. Determine also the cost breakdown. For example how will go into cabinets, floors, fixtures, fittings and other things that need renovation. kitchen remodeling plans always has some unexpected surprises, thus ensure that you set aside about 20 percent of the budget to these occurrences. Remember also to prioritize your renovations. What is more important to you? New cabinets or new appliances? Writing down a list of priorities will help. With your idea, priorities and cash at hand, you can now start your kitchen remodeling plans.

We are remodeling our kitchen with new natural hickory cabinets and the counter tops are a blackish brown with tan flecks, I have no idea for a wall color. The kitchen has 3 big walls. I was planning on beige (vanilla brandy) or brown (covered wagon), but it feels like I"m in a cardboard box! My theme is a country kitchen since the cupboards are the Concord design, I want it to feel warm and inviting, but also sunny and happy. What colors set off the natural hickory?

My husband and i are making plans to remodel the house nothing to crazy just some dry wall a new shower and some paint and molding and possibly a new tile floor in the kitchen and bathroom. He can’t do it himself, so he suggested that we have his friend do it. We will pay him of course– but here is the catch his friend is pretty easy on the eyes, and i am a very sexual person, i have never cheated and i don’t want to. However i will be at the house the majority of the time and i just don’t want the temptation. I mean ladies come on this man has perfect muscles very soft spoken and hes very suave. he seems to be a pretty sexual person himself. I just feel like it would be asking for trouble. Should i find someone else to do the work? and how do i convince my husband to let someone else do it without admitting the actual reason why?
I am trying to avoid the situation so there is no temptation how am i not doing the right thing?
I suppose if i were on here putting men down and b!tching about everything they do then you would like my question?—- your all a bunch of pissy hags

We have an old 2 family house that needs alot of work. Our plan is to fix it up and then sell it when the market goes back up. I know alot of people say not to do huge expensive projects before sellijng because you most likely won’t get all your money back. So I was wondering if, from the list below, someone could tell me which I should do and which I shouldn’t:
-insulation
-Replacement windows (old, rotten wood windows there now)
-Gas heating system (only gas on gas stove as heating source now)
-Paint outside house (asbestos shingles now)
-Gut out the bathroom and put new shower walls, tub and sink (mold now)
-Remodel small kitchen area (counters and sink are extemely low, and counter rotting around edges, and mold now)

My basement is semi finished from the previous owner, but I noticed that he forgot to seal the walls and add any insulation behind the sheetrock. I plan to remove the sheetrock, keep the studs and start from scratch…the right way. The ceiling seems fine, but I was planning on having an electrician install outlets in the basement and also update our line to 220V in the basement, kitchen & living room above. Should I just remove the ceiling as well or leave it and have the electrician cut where he needs to cut.
I’m trying to cut down on costs when it comes to installing electrical and I’ve heard a job can be cheaper if theres less for the electrician to work through. True?
Also, do I need to tell the electrician where I would like to have lights?

I want to completely remodel my kitchen. I’m planning on painting the cabinets instead of getting new ones, and I want new countertops, backsplash, wall color, flooring, appliances, and maybe add an island or breakfast bar (instead of a table). I want to make it modern, which tends to be expensive. How can I remodel my whole kitchen on a budget? Thank you!

Hello
First a few details about myself and my wife.
We are both 29 and got married in 2007. We do not have any kids but 2 dogs. We both work. Me full time as a contractor / and landlord. She works part time locally for an airline. I do not believe I am cheap but I do believe I always get a good deal. My wife recently has been going on an on about me being the cheapest man on the planet. Ok so here is my side.
Engagement : When I proposed to her I spent about ,000 on her engagement ring. I bought the ring in the diamond district NYC and haggled my way down from ,000 for very high quality. Dealer said I am a very strong negotiator.
Marriage : Then we got married in The Palace in Somerset NJ. Since the hall wasn’t open or complete yet I booked 2 years in advance while they were building and paid only 8 per plate it is now over 0 a plate for same night same dates. I paid for the entire wedding spent about 70k. Before we got married I bought a 4 family home for us to live in. Again I explained to my wife that if we bought a nice four family home the tenants can pay our mortgage and we don’t need to spend all our money on a house. Previous to the marriage I owned another home and WE currently still own the other home as well. Then in 2008 I bought my wife for valentines day a brand new Honda CRV base model (I would never buy a premium model) and again negotiated aggressively online with the dealer and paid considerably less than what an average person who just walks in the dealer would pay. I own and drive a used 2001 Jeep Cherokee and a 2002 ford van for construction.
I prefer to buy high quality products when they are on sale and can wait for something to go on sale before I buy it. Examples our TV a floor model 50% off, Our living room and bedroom furniture paid about 0 less because it was a discontinued line. I never buy clothes new I usually buy high end brands gently used never stained in local thrift stores. (biggest score a 0+ pair or Armani Exchange jeans for .)
We vacation often and because my wife works for the airline we don’t pay for flights except taxes. Some places we have gone in the last 2 years. London, Thailand, Hawaii , Texas, Florida, California, Rome, Punta Cana, Santo Domingo. I usually wait until a hotel goes on sale on a deal website and then we book it. I have never paid full price for the hotels and I usually find amazing local restaurants that are not touristy aka not expensive but have amazing food.
So now it is 2011 and here is the situation. We have zero credit card debt, no car payments, a healthy bank account over 100k in bank, healthy 401k, 3 vehicles, (2) 4 Family homes and 2 dogs. We live in 1 of the apartments in 1 of the 4 family homes. It has 2 bedrooms, huge living room. I totally remodeled the kitchen and bath. Huge open basement, backyard, fire pit, pergola, and is situated 1 block from downtown major city in NJ. Very safe neighborhood.We don’t plan on having any children. We are just enjoying life.
Now here comes where my wife says I am cheap. This is the complicated part. My wife is starting to complain. HUH! She wants to get rid of her Honda CRV and wants a Nissan 350z. (Because she never had a nice car as a child. I guess she doesn’t think the Honda CRV is nice. Sorry Honda I still like your 31mpg city) She keeps on complaining that we need new furniture in bedroom and living room. I already swapped the bed out once just cause the first one I bought didn’t have foot boards (Why do we need foot boards and columns we are not Romans.) She doesn’t know I bought the new one on Craigslist used. I’ll keep that a secret (Score!). Her mother constantly says to me you should buy her a nice little townhouse. She means the type of townhouse that is attached on both sides. I said I own a house already and I only have a tenant to one side and one on top. The mother and my wife both say its not the same "we have an apartment not a house" (Funny cause I pay a mortgage every month not rent.) The townhouses she wants us to get are smaller than our apartment and can’t possibly have the yard we have. Her family and her sisters always have new cars every 2 to 3 years. Her Brother has a 2009 Mercedes CLS but works in a Hotel for an hour and mom and dad have to pay the insurance cause he can only afford car payment. Her sisters and mother constantly change out furniture, new clothes, coach bags etc. But they are also all broke massive credit card debt and live check to check. Can someone please tell me or help me.
Am I a Cheap Non Loving Husband because I don’t want to get my wife an attached townhouse, or buy her new furniture every few years when ours are still beautiful, or buy her a new sports car and sell her safe suv. Please help me make sense of this. Thanks Yahoo. Hopefully some women can give some insight to this.

My husband and I are remodeling our bathroom. I would like more storage and higher counter top level. Kitchen cabinets offer what I want and the price I need.. It is a small bathroom and the cabinets are "in stock" so the total price is 0.00 for cabinets and another 150 00 for counter. We don’t have plans on moving. Am I making a huge mistake for later resale of the property?
