Jennifer Russell+FollowIKEA Kitchen Remodel That Only Cost 9KMy husband and I just bought our very first fixer-upper house, and the kitchen needed a major, major overhaul. We decided to go with IKEA for all the cabinets. Then we got everything else, like appliances and counters, from places like Home Depot and Lowe's. And the total cost for everything, including the labor to put it all together. It came out to just 9,000 bucks. #KitchenRemodel #Renovation #IKEA #BudgetTalk #FixerUpper #HomeImprovement #DIYHome #MoneySavingTips #HomeRenovation #FirstHome 01Share

Plus, with ex-Playboy twins spilling secrets and Holly Madison calling out the dark side, is the mansion’s new look just a cover-up for old scandals? #PlayboyMansion #CelebrityDrama #Renovation #HughHefner #HollywoodGossip #Entertainment20Share

Joseph Norris+FollowAm I Overreacting to This Pool Fill-In? 😓With large pieces of concrete just dumped into the pool, this man is now seeking some advice and feedback here on this pool fill-in project🤔 He just doesn't like how it felt like the pool was just being used as a giant trash pit...🗑️😵 Plus, there were no layers of fill with compaction in between, which seems pretty crucial. Another concern is that it looks like not enough was cleared from the sides of the pool shell, potentially messing up the yard grading later. Naturally, they stopped the project, but the contractor is telling them they're being overly critical 😡. What do you all think? #PoolRemovalPlan #HomeImprovement #ContractorIssues #Renovation #HomeownerDilemma #HomeReno #Backyard #SwimmingPools 1518Share
Thomas Woods+FollowPink tile bathroom from 1958Saw this on the internet. Way too tacky. What should the owner do to renovate? Knowing the owner has another bathroom that's beautifully modern with a glass shower and sleek white/grey with teal accents makes this one even more bewildering. I guess we all just want something classic and simple (not this kind of "classic") #HomeDesign #BathroomMakeover #RenovationGoals #SimpleClassicStyles #DecoratingTips #Renovation #Home #HomeRenovation 2112Share
Thomas Woods+FollowIs this normal? contractor cut a notch into our quartz shower ledge for glass installWe’re remodeling our bathroom, and I’m currently away while my wife is handling things at home. The contractor had told us multiple times that the glass would be cut to fit the wall. But when the installers showed up, my wife said they were doing a lot of drilling and cutting with zero explanation. And I came back, found out they just notched into the quartz top of our pony wall to let the glass pass through. I wasn’t expecting that at all. Worse, the glass sits almost 1cm above the quartz, and they just jammed silicone in the gap. It looks messy and nothing like what we were told. When I called the contractor, all I got was: “This is normal.” No explanation, no alternative offered. Is this actually standard practice? Couldn’t they have cut the glass instead of damaging our quartz? Trying to figure out if we’re being taken for a ride here, or if this is really the only way it could’ve been done. #HomeImprovement #Renovation #BathroomRemodel #ContractorProblems #QuartzCountertops #ShowerDesign #Home #HomeDecor 3071Share
