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 $20 gallon of paint has got to be better than this ugly color scheme. Thanks for any help
My kitchen has a glossy white ceramic backsplash. Random tiles have a fruit motif scattered around the backsplash-design appears to be some sort of decal that was applied on top of the tile. I would like to update the kitchen and get rid of these fruit motifs. I have tried Goof-Off, soap, Comet and they do not budge. Does anyone have any other ideas without damaging the tiles–I would like to just have the plain white tiles as I do not want to tear out the tile. Thanks for your suggestions!
When remodeling a kitchen, should the base cabinets go in first, and then tile around them, or should everything be ripped out, the floor installed and then the cabinets installed.
I want to put tiles down on my kitchen floor, but first I need to pull up the old pattern. It is a whole piece of laminate flooring that is starting to come undone where the dining room and kitchen meet. So how would I go about doing this? Do i just pull the laminate up? Is there a specific way to put the tiles down?

It is a very small kitchen….but it’s cozy.
I just replaced all of my 1960’s, rotted cabinets with the ones in the picture. I am a single guy so I am not very good at picking out colors that will go well so I need your help in deciding a backsplash idea. I was thinking white glossy tiles with a counter top matching pattern every so often.
Please keep in mind that I WILL be painting this room and I am open for color suggestions.
I am also going to put 12″ ceramic tile down on the floor. I was thinking of a dark tan/Brown color. Any help would be GREAT! All ideas are welcome even if you do not like mine. I can install everything but coming up with something that matches is SO HARD! Go Figure….
Although I clean my kitchen floor daily, sometimes with Clorox Cleanup & sometimes using white vinegar & water, over the years, the grout has turned black. How do I get it back to it’s original light beige color?
We have a vent where the floor furnace use to be. We are wanting to put tile down in our kitchen instead of the flooring that is there now. I want so way to take the vent off the floor and lay something down to enclose it so that it’s safe to walk over and that we can put the tile over so the kitchen floor will look the same all the way around.
