Help from davidtay or any UCL expert
posted by: mountaineergirl on 09.29.2010 at 06:10 pm in Lighting Forum Hello! I have recently installed new counter tops, and before we tile the back splash I want to install under cabinet lighting. I've read some threads on here and am still overwhelmed/confused. I want LED lights, but don't want to pay a fortune. Could someone tell me if these kits are junk or a good buy? Also would one kit be enough to do it? here's what I have:
36" cab, then OTR microwave with cabs above (so access to next cab run), 30"cab, diagonal 15" cab, 30"cab, window (with wood valance above), 30"cab, diagonal 15", then 18"cab Does that make sense? here's the link to the light kit:
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!! Here is a link that might be useful: super delux light kit NOTES: <none>

pull-down vs. pull-out faucet
posted by: stpindell on 03.13.2009 at 09:30 am in Kitchens Forum One of the the "best thing they learned on this forum" was pull-down vs. pull-out faucet. I did a search and could not find a thread discussing this. I might not be searching correctly as I am fairly new to this site.
Can someone please advise what the difference is? NOTES: <none>

4' granite backsplash, glass subway tile, or both?
posted by: kfagan113 on 10.22.2011 at 09:29 pm in Kitchens Forum We finally picked out our granite!!!! We are SO excited. We picked White Ice (lots of grey, black and beige specs, mostly white background). I think it'll be beautiful with our grey stained cabs. I am in favor of white glass subway tiles all the way to the counter, but DH wants the 4" granite backsplash with the tile on top of it. Does anyone have thoughts on this or feel strongly one way or another??? TIA!!

HELP - do people do granite backsplashes anymore?
posted by: sarahdanna on 10.18.2011 at 05:59 pm in Kitchens Forum Hi everyone,
We are almost done with our kitchen for our new construction house - finally! We are going to have granite countertops and I'd like subway tiles for a backsplash. The granite fabricator told me that he likes to put in a granite backsplash (3 inches) b/c it seals the granite to the wall. I told him that when I look at kitchens that I like, I typically don't see a granite backsplash with the tiles - I just see tiles for the backsplash. He said that I don't want it like this b/c the grout next to the granite will become dirty and we will need to re-grout it every now and then. The upkeep will be horrible. What do you guys think? Do people do granite backsplashes when they are using subway tiles as the backsplash? I really need your wisdom as I feel like I'm losing my mind over all of these house decisions! Please help a frantic working mom of an 18 mo old that is also trying to build a new house! Thank you in advance. Sarah NOTES: <none>

Slide-in vs. freestanding range
posted by: mdispensa on 03.24.2012 at 11:15 pm in Kitchens Forum Does anyone have any feedback on slide-in vs free-standing ranges.
I have room for a standard 30" range and on the left side there is only a 12" base between the fridge and the stove. Slide-ins seem to be a lot more expensive as compared to a comparable standard range. I appreciate any input. NOTES: slide in vs range

What do you find best for the faucet 'reach' measurement?
posted by: desertsteph on 04.11.2012 at 08:48 pm in Kitchens Forum I've been looking for a new kitchen faucet. Some have a 'reach' measurement as low as around 6", others up to 10".
The 6" or so seems way too close to the backside of the sink to me. I think it'd be better at about 9". my sink is 22" front to back. Does this measurement matter in the 'it splashes water out or not' problem some have posted about? Or does that have to do more with the distance from the spout (where the water comes out) and top of sink area (even with the counter). My sink also isn't very deep (my choice). I also don't want a really high arched faucet - trying to stick to around 10" in height. NOTES: faucet research
