Best Color For Kitchen Walls, With Pink Tile? For A Guys Kitchen. No $$$?

fundkitchen — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:08:36 +0000

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

Is There A Way To Remove A Decal Design On Ceramic Tile Backsplash In Kitchen?

fundkitchen — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:08:25 +0000

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!

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?

What Backsplash Design And Tile?

Here is a picture of my kitchen. http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/1885/…
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….

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.

Use a Duplex Cleaning Machine For Easy Tile Cleaning and Grout Cleaning

Tiles come in endless incarnations. There are mosaic tiles, marble tiles, granite tiles, decorative patio tiles, glazed ceramic tiles used in the bathroom, and decorative backsplash tiles that simply adorn the kitchen. While they have distinct identities in their textures, colors, and patterns, they are united in the common bond that all are required to be meticulously cleaned. Anyone, who has any interest in keeping their house neat and clean and spruced up, has to concentrate on regular tile cleaning and grout cleaning.

Tile cleaning and grout cleaning should be done frequently in places like kitchen where sticky remnants of cooking easily get plastered to tiles and accumulate in the grout. Wiping the kitchen tiles daily in the areas most prone to dirt accumulation is the best preemptive way of grout cleaning. Weekly, or at least fortnightly, kitchen tiles should be cleaned with good tile cleaning agents. An effective tile cleaning agent that is available in everybody’s home is vinegar. A mixture of equal amounts of water and vinegar can be splashed on the floor in grimy areas and can be cleaned off after a few minutes. In more grimy areas, especially in the grout, vinegar can be applied directly, without diluting it with water. Lemon juice is also a good grout cleaning agent.

With white tiles, whether on the floor or otherwise, bleach will work as a tile cleaning agent. However, bleach should ideally be avoided on colored tiles. On all types of tiles, it is better to avoid tile cleaning agents with too much chemicals as they may cause the tile to fade in the long run. While buying tile cleaning liquids, check the composition to ensure that they do not contain harsh chemicals. Tile cleaning may not be necessary in the bathroom on a daily basis as in a kitchen. However, a quick cleaning every day will minimize slime build-up so that the weekly or bi-weekly tile cleaning and grout cleaning will become a faster, easy process.

There are floor scrubbers and steam cleaners that will suck the dirt out of the grout and will maintain the tiles sparkling clean. However, even a discarded toothbrush can be used for grout cleaning, especially around shower faucets, around the sink in the kitchen, and on the tiles directly against the cooking range on to which drops of oil and seasonings easily get plastered. It is always best to have small rugs or carpets in areas, which are more prone to accumulation of dirt in the form of cooking residuals, or from garden shoes, or by children’s activities. That will preempt the need for heavy tile cleaning and grout cleaning.
