Hello! I am remodeling an entryway and bedroom/bath that is currently covered in terracotta tiles. Do these need to be torn out before I can have new flooring installed, or can I just install over them (most cost effective). Not worried about loosing height in room... just curious if this poses a problem in future! Thanks

what's the best display for this bathroom. I need to combine the pixels with white walls and floors. any suggestions.?

Hello, I vote for full height curtains. Check out references from Studio McGee for some gorgeous ideas. If you keep them white and with long enough rods to allow them to fall in front of the wall instead of covering the glazing, there will be no change in available sunlight. good luck, Lynn

Good news for the change of flooring, what kind? Concerning the Island, how big? Great news concerning the backspash, countertop and cabinet colors. Any idea of the new choices? Yous seem to have 2 questions: do I raise the counter height? Why not? just add a 3" filler between the cabinets and the new counter. Since your are changing the color of the cabinets and doors, this new band can easily be integrated with the same treatment. Concerning the fridge, if you keep a big American-style fridge, what to you expect? It's alone in a corner. It will always be alone in the corner, especially if you intend on keeping the reste of the existing kitchen. Perhaps add a deep upper cabinet and a small full height storage cabinet to the left? It looks like some added storage would not be a bad idea. I'd say that you need some better photos and perhaps a better "overall idea". It looks like you have several elements that are not intergrate ,like a dishwasher and stove/oven? Canada? USA? I'd think about changing the overhead light and finding a way to integrate the garbage can and automatic vaccum. You talk about a low budget project, but it seems like your changing a lot of things. Try bringing in a specialzed contractor to provide assistance in your choices based on "easy fixes". Good luck, Lynn
