Decorating & Remodeling - February 2007

Is it best to lay it on concrete board? If not what? Should I seal it before grouting? I hear it stains if grout gets on it. Is it harder to cut with wet saw because of the stone and size 18x18?

The standard features of the town house I'm buying come with a electric cooktop. To have the builder upgrade it to gas, including hookup, it'd cost $800. Should I let the builder do it, or it is a better value if I get it done myself, and perhaps sell the electric cooktop for some pocket changes?

Along the same line, would you spend $675 to upgrade the oven, dishwasher, and microwave to stainless steel?

I have some old dark tile in our entry way. It's not an option right now to replace it, so I'd like to make it look better if possible. When I mop it and it looks nice and shiny. Then when it dries it looks dull. Is there any way to make it shiny all the time?
Thanks

I am planning on putting up wallpaper border in my son's room, but we rent the apartment we live in and I'm worried about how hard it's going to be to take it down when we move. We plan on living here for at least another 2 years or so, so I won't have to worry about it for a while, but I wonder if it going to be a royal pain in the butt taking the border down.

I installed a 4 light vanity lights in my bathroom. I decided to install it with the globs/bulbs facing up instead of down, and now I'm having second thoughts. The bulbs are about 3 1/2 - 4 inches from the ceiling, and I was concerned about them catching the house on fire. Would they get hot enough to catch the ceiling on fire in my bathroom? I put 60 watt bulbs in them.

Whole house has popcorn ceilings and I want to remove it all. Some areas come off in chunks, but others are on pretty good. Is tedious scraping the only way to remove the popcorn plaster? or can steam/water be introduced to make the removal easier?

I'm getting my house painted. I just received a quote. The guy told me 1 color was nice. Said others were nice 2, but wouldn't coordinate w/ main color. The colors are Sherwin Williams Quixotic Plum as an accent wall in the family room and Mystic Mauve on the other walls. The main areas would be Latte. That's where he said the clash is coming.

This is how downstairs flows: Entry way to a 2 story foyer Immediately in front of you on right,stairs. To the left formal area - living & dining. From that room, or a hall, you come to the kitchen w/ a bay eat in. All those wall will be in Latte. Then you come to the family room. The wall facing you will be Quixotic Plum. The others will be Mystic Mauve. His suggestion is to do it Latte and do the other formal room QP. (no furniture yet - wanted the formal red).

What is y'all opinion? Is $1000 +200 4 paint bad? I'd say it's 1300 sq ft area - plus upstairs hall. The trim would be white - said cheaper to touch up stairrail.

I have a 50+ year old house. In the kitchen I have the original cabinets on the wall, that are solid oak. The cabinets are showing their age. Some of the joints are seperating. I am a handiman by choice. My question is this, has anyone ever sucsessfully removed wall cabinets, reglued the joints, refinised (we're thinking a painted enamel surface) and rehung them. Please no smart butt answers. I already know I can have them refaced or replaced.
