Concrete Cobblestone Path

We wanted to find something unique to use for our pathway and patio. We couldn't find anything we really liked. When I came across this concrete form from Lowes I was so excited. Not ...»

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 :)

To Preen or Not to Preen-Is there a question?

Now that it's officially spring here in the Northeast we're getting tons of weeds. But I've been using Preen successfully for years. It's not meant to kill weeds but prevent them. I use it sparingly after the first use of the year. Does anyone have a successful schedule of using it apart from the directions on the container. Thanks everyone. www.homerepairtutor.com

Remodeling: Does anyone like IKEA kitchens?

We helped our homeowner remodel his kitchen with IKEA cabinets in order to give them a mid century modern feel to their mid century ranch home. They loved it. What do you think?
