We just moved into our house and are wanting to replace the current PURPLE laminate countertops with a better looking laminate. I love the look of granite and corian but we can't justify spending a fortune when our house is only $160,000. We have white cabinets and we will be changing out our...

So I'm remodeling the kitchen ... just finished putting in the cabinets, getting ready to install the countertops. I'm looking at sinks to purchase and thinking about getting a deeper one, like 9-10 inches. But I'm wondering if a sink that deep will fit with the garbage disposal I already...

I'm in the process of remodeling my kitchen. My question is about a) the water line to the refrigerator, b) the gas line to the stove, and c) the gas shut off valve ... is there is some kind of faceplate for those items? I'd rather it look more professional than just a hole in the drywall.

Hello, My husband and I just bought our first home!! We are super excited, but the first thing we both agreed to do is renovate the kitchen before we move in. We went to Ikea and picked out our kitchen and we are going to install it ourselves. But, we just came across a few road blocks and...

We just bought a 22 y.o. home with a fabulous view, and we want to remove the two walls that divide the kitchen from the dining room and from the family room to capture the 180 degree view from any point on the first floor. WE are pretty sure that both walls are load bearing (unfortunately!). We...

We recently had black corian counter tops installed in our kitchen. We were not told about the easy scratching and showing up as light gray lines, which stand out. Home DePot had lied to us and told us they were out of granite (ubatuba) that we originally ordered and led us to believe Corian...
