Help us save a kitchen !
Hey all! Looking for some advice for a kitchen. We are about to close on a house which needs quite a bit of work. So we are trying to work around what we have to minimize investments into remodeling.
We feel that the kitchen isn't completely hopeless, but it's a bit too dark and too brown... and we wanted to bring a bit of a modern feel to it.
We are thinking about doing the things shown on one of the pics below (marked up with red/blue colors) and then perhaps adding those stainless steel bar pulls to the cabinets (we love those, but not 100% sure it would look good). Any ideas what could lighten it up without major rework? Would it be worth to repaint the cabinets in white? Do something with the backsplash maybe?
Thank you !!!

Layout dilemma - best use of space and rooms? Save me !!
Comments (19)Hi memyshell, Having rooms to let with en-suites is only going to increase the money that you can charge for each room so I think it is something you should try coming round to. (I have been in this sort of accommodation before) I do however having a toilet that is shared would be a massive plus to you as what happens when you or any of your housemates have guests do they use the en-suites? Does't sound practical to me however I have a plan using one of the plans that was already attached to the thread of this posts I will try and explain as best I can. Create a corridor that runs from the front door straight through to the wall at the back that be the wall of the kitchen/living and dining area. On the right of the wall make it a full length glazed screen so that when you walk in you can see straight to the garden but are keeping this a separate communal space. The space that is shown as reception room can be transformed into a small functional toilet (which I think is all you need) this will give guests a room to visit without entering a bedroom. The wall of the kitchen would run 3/4 of the way along the wall creating a opening rather than a door giving the space more of a flow. Make sure the door of the new bathroom is hidden behind the wall (almost in the center of the house) when standing in the kitchen area. If you require any other help don't hesitate to get in touch. May I ask where your project will be taking place as it may be something we may be able to work with yourself on? FMA...See MorePlease help me save my hallway tiles!
Comments (6)Ok, so I've tried to delete this post as I've just picked up the rest of the laminate and think that the flooring will need to be replaced. The floor level isn't the only issue. Previous owners have welded other tiles to the original ones (which is where the black glue is coming from). Also, we are soon to be running a new mains water pipe through the house and the flooring will need to come up in the hall. We are having a new boiler and pipe replaced because it currently takes 15 minutes to run a bath. I will be contacting a restoration company today to see if they can advise....See MoreMoney saving ideas for kitchen extension, side return build
Comments (2)We went for blockwork and render but were surprised that the saving was pretty minimal (less than £50 and was the same with all our quotes) so it was more of an aesthetic than budget issue in the end....See More4 easy ways to save money on your kitchen without compromising quality
