How can I improve my kitchen?
I am not happy with how this looks, not sure if its the tile, knobs, stools, black fridge or what. Will SS frdge or new stools make a difference? Suggestions welcome.

Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?
Commentaires (2)Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya... Voir plussculptures ou tableaux d'art

Commentaires (36)Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill.

il y a 2 ansThis stool comes in many finishes. I like that if can be tilted and rolled away for cleaning instead of scraping feet on the floor. Has a nice farmhouse feeling, Probably not too comfortable for long term sitting, but maybe you don't need that.

il y a 2 ansDernière modification :il y a 2 ansWow, I’m overwhelmed with all of your ideas and suggestions. Thank you for taking the time and having the interest in helping me resolve my decorating problem. The backsplash is cloe white, I thought I made a grave error on this. The wall paint is cedar key, recommend by Kylie M. herself. She said it would go well with the cabs.
Just to note, the dining furniture is only temporary, below is what I am thinking of purchasing.
I will try to address each one of your ideas individually.
@Sherry Brighton Unfortunately, I can’t paint the walls. We just had the entire area painted during the kitchen remodel. It is totally open concept. But glad to hear SS fridge will make a difference.
@Patricia Colwell Consulting, stools are temporary, bought at restore as was dining table for 200.00 lol All to be replaced. Sink is prep only.
@lucky998877lno need to be sorry, good advice.
@Rachel Stark is the big issue, unfortunately, I agree about upholstery on the stools, just trying to figure what colour.
@Sherry Brighton, thank your for paint suggestions.
@Victory Home Remodeling is a new kitchen remodel, kitchen is very large and bright. 16x20 with 17’ high ceilings and DH hates white cabinets. Didn’t want natural wood as I have had this in numerous past kitchens.
@Anne Duke Accessories might be the answer, but I hate clutter. Any suggestions?
@MDLN Amazing photoshop, love the accessories too. Do you think white stools will be too stark against white counter? Is it possible for you to photoshop SS fridge if you get the chance? thank you
@cheri127, thank you for the compliment. This is a total remodel and transformation. I give credit Folks on Houzz for this layout. I have another thread on this. I’ll see about island outlet.
@Belahnl What colour pulls do you think would go well? I tried silver and chrome but they just didn’t look any better.
@decoenthusiaste I do like that stool, but I prefer a back. Definitely something to consider though.
@Debbi Washburn As noted above dining table etc is temporary. Yes, colour is needed for sure, I love red. Unfortunately, I can’t add a pendant, wish I would have done it earlier. DSIL is our electrician and he is tapped out, under cab lights still are not done (18 months later) So tweaking is all that can be done at this point. I am relieved to hear that is all that is needed, especially coming from your expert and pro opinion (:
Here are ideas of the dining table I am thinking about getting. The legs will be pedestal, however.
@cheri127 here are before photos. This was diy 18 months in the process lol

il y a 2 ansDernière modification :il y a 2 ans@everdebz Thank you for your help. I am away so I cannot give you exact measurements. But to give you an idea here is a pic taken during renos. Also, are examples of table ( solid wood, custom made) I am considering, have not chosen chairs yet. Table legs will be metal and pedestal style, so not quite the same as pictured.
Just saw your previous questions, cabs seem darker in photo. They are cherry wirh java stain.
