I guess coming out of a brand new house where I had everything how I wanted it to something that is mediocore is frustrating as I keep seeing things I really want done but find it hard to prioritise it.
The vinyl is awful and it is coming up in places but fortunately its only that tiny patch in kitchen, the rest is carpet however which goes through the lounge & kitchen and eventually I want to change it all to a wood look vinyl or to parador floor boards. What would you suggest putting on the wall? I just need some inspiration to get me through Trying to make it mine! Re: Benchtop colour help needed! 13Nov 03, 2008 3:19 pm Are you male or female???
Sorry, but it makes a difference.

Lino is soooo cheap, any way you could just get some to get rid of the brown, might give it a better feel, short term. I experimented in my place with colours by putting sheets/ material on the floor - just to see what the colour would look like. A cheap option for a splashback would be tiling it yourself. I'm sure it's a massive change for you coming from a new home. Re: Benchtop colour help needed! 16Nov 03, 2008 4:41 pm Hi, just my 2 cents worth,
How about 2 floating shelves on the wall and you could put some nice canisters or things on them. I have been searching high and low for raw ones to stain myself, but have found lots ready to hang. Paula Re: Benchtop colour help needed! 17Nov 03, 2008 4:58 pm It is a huge difference coming from a lovely new place where I picked everything to virtually everything being outdated and ******* repair jobs. I wanted to DIY it all but have given in for my tiling in the toilet & laundry and almost are ready to give in with the painting
The kitchen and that awful vinyl is a pet hate of mine as I used to have a lovely kitchen with ceasarstone benchtops Trying to make it mine!

I know your pain!!!! If it’s what I think you mean, I’m about to go through the same thing! Pretty soon there will be photos of some horrid thing I have to buy as well and will need to do up on a very tight budget!

We can have each have competitions on who has the worst place
If any of the cabinetmakers are around, would of any of you be able to give me an approximate price on pulling it out and installing a new one so I know what kind of ballpark figure I am looking at? I swear I wish things were different and I have days like today where I wish I never brought the stupid thing and I was renting lol. Trying to make it mine! Re: Benchtop colour help needed! 20Nov 03, 2008 5:14 pm Strumer But if the tops are only square laminated (where the laminate does not "wrap" over the edges) then it makes it possible to relaminate the tops instead, which is a fair bit cheaper.. Earl Wouldn’t you think with the age of the kitchen that they are a square profile, not dropped? Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Hi Courtney The mitred edges are glued up with epoxy so those little holes and gaps are areas that weren't filled correctly. Silicone is the wrong product to fill them… 2 13083 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7515 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3553 |
