Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

Posts Tagged ‘budget’

i am trying to work out a budget for my kitchen redo- not sure if i should spend the money on installation or if i should do it myself.

Ok, first of all I have a small kitchen and a small budget. My house is very old and the last time the kitchen was remodeled looks like some time in the 50-60s. I just bought stainless steel appliances for the kitchen, to replace the non-working olive green 70s era ones, so there is like no money left. The cabnets are painted white, which are fine for now. The counter top is white with pink flake in the design, eww! The backsplash is all bright pink tiles. The walls are yellow. Since it will be a few years before I can remodel, and this is my first home, I would like any suggestion of a masculine color to paint the wall the would maybe make it not so bad. I was thinking a chocolate brown? Any inputs? A gallon of paint has got to be better than this ugly color scheme. Thanks for any help

I want to decorate my kitchen to give a very modern look.My kitchen is a rectanguler in shape with big island at the center. I have white ikea cabinets and black color granite countertop and backsplash.What wall color, decorative elements to use? I havve 0 budget.

I’m finally getting rid of my 1961 kitchen and can’t make up my mind! I have hard oak floors throughout the house..including the dining room which is open to the kitchen. I’d like to put in cork floors (& be somewhat "green" in my remodeling) in the kitchen and think it would blend nice with the oak floors (unless someone thinks of something else?) I can’t decide what would look better..maple or natural cherry cabinets. The kitchen is only 10×13 and will be putting in 40" cabinets since I have a cathedral ceiling…does cherry and oak clash? Too much natural wood tones going on? I’d like to put a apron front / farm sink in, granite countertops and tin backsplash..those I do know I want… I need a professional designer but that’s definately not in the budget. All opinions and suggestions are welcome….I have to order cabinets within 2 weeks!!! Thanks All !!
I can’t go too modern with a house full of antiques..i’m in the country and am shooting for a modern/classic/simple country feel..with stainless appliances of course. I did not want oak cabinets, but with oak floors it makes sense. it’s a starter house and resale is everything..what do people like?

I am going to be doing a little home maintenance & remodeling in preparation for the sale of my home. I stumbled across the thought of adding a new backsplash to my kitchen & master bathroom. Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find tiles for cheap? Maybe even something unique? I’ve got a bit of a creative side to me, so I can make just about anything work – I just have a smaller budget.
