Before: Tiny and Tired
The kitchen's dated white appliances and orangey-oak cabinets stuck out in this well-appointed home.
For less than $9,000, the kitchen now sports dramatic painted-black cabinets and granite veneer countertops. Creamy white walls, brushed-nickel cabinet hardware and glossy new appliances add to the kitchen's elegant face-lift.
From the stenciled yellow walls to the oak cabinets and faux-wood countertops, this kitchen was stuck in the 80s.
Renovated in 2 stages, the kitchen was first brightened up by painting the cabinets two different colors - green-gray on the lower cabinets and a rich cream on the uppers. Next, a new sink, dark laminate countertops and a glazed ceramic tile backsplash created a kitchen the homeowner is proud to show off.
This 13x13 kitchen didnt fit with the rest of the charming Colonial homes interior. To save money, the homeowners kept the appliances in their original locations, and then added loads of charm to create a welcoming space for their young family.
Removing the island was the number one priority in this kitchen remodel; a close second was replacing the builder-grade cabinets with semicustom cabinetry. The island was replaced with a peninsula, giving the homeowners better traffic flow and a casual seating area. A colorful yet subtle backsplash adds personality and charm to this kitchen remodel.
For an executive chef and a wine representative, this cramped and closed-off kitchen didnt work for two people who loved to cook and entertain friends and family. The renovations main goal was to turn this dreary 10x13 kitchen into the hub of the home where the hosts could interact with their guests.
The kitchen was opened up on two sides, which brightened the space and created a breakfast bar while still allowing for plenty of cabinetry and counter space. Main features, such as the flooring, countertops, and backsplash, are neutral, letting the homeowners add and change out colorful accents when the mood strikes.
The galley kitchen in this 1920s home needed to be brought into this century. While the homeowners wanted to keep the original step-saving design, knocking out a wall between the kitchen and the dining room drastically changed how the space is used -- in a positive way.

Before and After: Kitchen Remodels - Better Homes and Gardens
What would it cost to install a dishwasher?
We are moving into a new rental and are unsure if we should install a dishwasher in an empty space across from the sink or get a portable one. What would we be getting into work- and cost-wise installing a dishwasher? -Crystal
We would like to add a window in the kitchen in a wall with no existing window. The house (built in 1982) has wood siding. Assuming that there is no plumbing interfering with that space in the wall, how much can we reasonably expect to pay for this? - Anna
Are closets ever load-bearing? I have an exterior closet in a house that was built in 1940 and want to tear it out. I am just concerned that it would be a load bearing structure. -Amy
I am going to remove carpet and put Hickory hand-scraped hardwood Shaw floors in a den, dining area, foyer, and hall. A company has quoted me $4800.00 for 572 square feet (including removing the carpet). What are your thoughts on the cost? -Fred
I live in an old farmhouse and need to replace my non-standard front exterior door. How do I measure it? And is it best to order a customer door or to cut a standard door? -Troy

When revamping your kitchen, there are several different aspects to consider. Overall, a functional space is key after all, you want your layout to work well for you. You should carefully consider where to place your stove, refrigerator, island and cabinets to ensure plenty of space to cook, eat and entertain. Next, you should keep storage in mind. Kitchens contain a lot of utensils, pots, pans and small appliances, so be sure to have enough space to store all your favorites nearby. Finally, your space should look nice and welcoming to guests who visit. Using high-quality, colorful materials will help bring personality and vibrancy to your space, which is important when trying to avoid a cookie-cutter look. How do I determine my kitchen layout? If you're starting a renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. With the help of a kitchen designer, even a small space can have spacious storage and a nice flow. For small spaces, a galley layout is a great option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen with a large center island or peninsula. It provides plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. In the end, it's important to think about what your family uses the room for and then cater to those needs in your design. How can I add more kitchen storage? In order to store all your utensils, pots, pans, dishes and small appliances, you need cabinets, drawers and shelves to spare. To make your space work, use every square inch of space: include cabinets in your island, buy spice racks and hanging pot racks, and invest in a cart. Place frequently used bulky items on the countertop, and free up some space by storing less commonly used items in your storage room or basement. And most of all, get organized! Well-organized accessories take up less space, so taking the time to properly store them will be a lifesaver. What materials should I use in my kitchen? Because the layout and storage options are pretty standard, picking interesting materials is key for helping your kitchen stand out. When it comes to countertops, granite, wood and marble are elegant options, while concrete, limestone and stainless steel are a little more trendy. For a bit of color, add a bright mosaic tile backsplash or pick out a vibrant wood floor finish. You can even mix up your cabinetry! Frosted cabinets are great for a modern feel, while painted cabinets are an easy, inexpensive way to revamp your current design.

Breckenridge, Colorado (PRWEB) October 23, 2013
Devigne Developing, a custom home builder won the People's Choice Award, Best Interior Finishes and The Overall Best Home in this year's Summit County Builders Association Parade of Homes.
"Honestly, when we first met with our client, they stated, 'We need a place for the pool table,' and our job began. We could not be happier with the results of the home and it takes both the owner and the builder to get it right, together. The homeowners have allowed us to flourish and build exceptional homes and I think that's why we just continue to win, win and win again," stated Jules DeVigne of Devigne Developing of Summit County.
The Summit County Builders Association (SCBA) presented the 19th annual Summit County Parade of Homes, September 21-22 and 28-29, 2013. The builders in the Summit County Colorado mountain community have produced an incredible array of homes to showcase in this years parade, from outstanding single-family dwellings to dazzling multi-family units to remarkable remodels that demonstrate what can be achieved when reimagining an older home.
"The residence that won the People's Choice awards boasts exquisite mountain contemporary finishes with a very open floor plan. The 34 foot entry welcomes you in, and as your eyes look upward you will see the sky above though a ridge of glass. These windows flood the entry with natural light. The homes hand hewn timbers are accented by the clean lines and smooth finished walls. The bleached walnut floors draw you through the home and into the open living, kitchen, and dining room. The large stone fireplaces with stainless steel accents stands among the walls of windows giving you the feeling of being outside. The custom kitchen continues to excite the senses with wood panel appliances, leather finished granite, and complimented by gorgeous glass backsplashes and stone walls. Windows surround a spectacular main floor master bedroom with custom stone fireplace and fully automated shades," said Justin Nelson of Devigne Developing.
He continued, "As you go upstairs you find no space unused. Each bedroom has its own distinctly designed bathroom. The girls room is accented by a wood finished wall that hides a secret door. The game room upstairs is where you will find a room made for entertaining. A granite tile wall is the focal point of the room with a modern stainless fireplace and a big screen TV. Take a break from playing pool in the family room saloon that is finished with zebra wood cabinets and black granite countertops. The family room also opens up to a roof top deck. The deck includes an outdoor fireplace sure to keep you warm while enjoying your mountain views year round. At the end of the upper level is the bunk room, capable of sleeping eight. Custom built alder bunk beds each with personal lighting and USB charging stations make for personal comfort in each bunk."
"The lower level of the home is built for the performance and entertaining family. Tucked behind double alder doors is a 16 person theater. The state of the art theater includes a stage for your big act, theater style curtains, karaoke system, and fully automated lighting system. No need to get up and turn off the lights as this theater is fully controlled by a single remote. The gym is also located on the lower level. Walls of mirrors, solid cork floors, and a big screen TV make this gym a comfortable work out place," continued Nelson.
This home is designed and built with the highest level of quality and finishes and is a must see in Breckenridge. To find out more about Devigne Developing, log-on to their website: http://www.devignedeveloping.com or give them a call at: (888) 550-4198.

Its a small room that gets a lot of use.
The hall bathroom represents a design challenge: How much style can you fit in 40 square feet?
But that little room also could be an appealing starting point: a remodeling project small enough to be affordable and still look stylish or even luxurious.
The hall bathroom also can be a test of DIY skills without overwhelming the family handyman. (Just remember that its OK to enlist a professional when needed, and some things need city permits.)
Bathroom remodels continue to be a hot item, report industry experts. As the economy continues to recover, homeowners keep up the trend of updating their houses instead of moving.
All the [remodeling] business is really coming up, says Harry Headrick, owner of Expert Design & Construction in Rancho Cordova, Calif. The last four years, bathroom [projects] really became a lot more popular as peoples budgets obviously were a lot tighter.
The reason people are tackling the bathroom especially the powder room or small hall bathroom is its manageable, says Sarah Fishburne, Home Depots trend and design director. Its a weekend project or a couple of weekends that you can tackle yourself. Products are ever-evolving to make it simpler, too.
But these little rooms represent a design challenge namely, size. Its small and cant get bigger. Often, the hall bathrooms position in the house, squeezed between other rooms, prevents expansion.
A typical hall bath with shower measures 5 feet by 8 feet; with a bathtub, its a few square feet more. Throw in the toilet and vanity, and thats one cramped space.
The trick is to make the room look more spacious without knocking down walls.
