Granite Tile Counters?We are re-doing our kitchen. We have painted the walls, redone the cabinets, now it is time for the counters. My question is: We have ceramic tile floors, we are thinking of taking out the counter tops, and installing granite tile counters. We have visited a tile store and got instructions on how to do this, but is it worth it?

 

Cabinet with Unfinished EndThis is another idea to save money when installing new cabinets. If your cabinets do not end in a corner, you need some kind of "cap" to finish them off. I cut a piece of masonite to fit, and then glued can labels that I saved ahead of time....just whatever I used in the kitchen such as beans, tuna, peaches, etc. Thin down some white glue and spread it on the masonite board to cover. A damp sponge works well for this project.
