We want the same finish for the raw and laminate sections. How do you recommend we tackle this project...

Rendered brick window sills. What did you do?Renovation + Home Improvement

Apr 25, 2017 4:46 pm

Got talked into removing the sills and I hate the outcome. The style is Hamptons/Queenslander/Colonial and the modern sills do not look right. If you did the same what did you do to fix? Builder suggested boxing out and adding a sill and then we will paint white. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...

Thank you for advice. The design of the bowls differ so much. Are some shapes better than others?

When considering a dishwasher look at how the runner wheels are constructed as these are the weakest part and may need constant replacing

Hate daughter's Bosch. Consider what you will wash in it. I have large odd shaped items so I need flexibility to where they are placed so fixed holders is a no no for me. I love the double cutlery basket which can be made single to save space. Look at the shelf holders and rollers. Do they look like...

The kitchen sink?Kitchen Corner

Oct 14, 2016 7:53 am

I noticed the sink at my daughter's house does not drain well and so always has food scraps in it. Please tell me about the sink you chose and why. The house is a rental and so the sink is cheap and no matter how much I scrub it, always looks unclean. I have seen undermount sinks in existing homes f...
