  • The cabinets are in good shape but is it worth refacing them?

Kitchen Cabinets: Reface or Just Buy New?

Does anyone have experience with comparing the cost (and aggravation) of refacing kitchen cabinets versus just buying new? I honestly just install new cabinets and have no experience with ...»
only replacing the doors.

I recently priced out the cost of a standard shaker cabinet door for a 36 inch base cabinet and it was $57 for just plain poplar wood. So, two doors would be roughly $114.

The existing cabinets in these photos are laminate and they're in my Sister's newly purchased (35 year young) house from the 70s.

I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions. They are leaning toward buying IKEA cabinets with a shaker style. Thanks :)

Staircase help!

In need of help! What do I do with this bizarre staircase enclosure? When we moved in three years go, this was what was used as an alternative to spindles and a bannister evidently. It is not weight-bearing, but we need to do something as we had twin boys this past April, and they are already on the move! As I'm sure you can guess, our budget is tiny, really non-existent actually, so anyway we can do this inexpensively would be great. I would rather not board it up as there is a great ...»
deal of light that comes from the window at the top of the stairs. Right now there is a treadmill on this wall, and no other place for it in the house either, so it can't move. Any idea is welcomed.

    Yep, ear infections and allergies. Where ever smelly dog lays will smell like smelly dog. ...»
    Probably your porch mat. The hands down solution to smelly (especially skunk) is: small box of baking soda, large bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a dash of liquid soap. Full strength for the dog, diluted to spray down the front porch and door mat with pump up sprayer. Rinse after. Sprinkle cayenne pepper where you don't want holes. My Molly Blaze is a Lab/ Border Collie mix. Allergies and ear infections....10 years...ugh....

Design & Décor: What can I do with this ceiling?

The old, quality paneling came from my husband's great aunt's house, which is slated to be destroyed. What can I do with the plain, boring sheetrock ceiling to complement the walls, yet not darken the room any more? Oh, and the door needs something, too. It's the same white as the ceiling.
