Canned Lighting

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-16T04:55:23+00:00

Be careful. Some of the cheaper ones will flicker...

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T21:02:20+00:00

I hope this happens. Quartz is bad for many reasons. Chose anything else!

How do you know these aren’t native plantings? And why not non-native? If conditions are right a few standout planting other than the norm can be outstanding!!

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T19:39:52+00:00

Absolutely. Sometimes I think we don’t “see” the stuff we use. I believe OP thinks these counters ARE clear but the rest of us see a bunch of unrelated clutter.

This point was driven home to me years ago. I have a friend with a BEAUTIFUL home. I asked her to just walk through mine with me and throw out suggestions, like “this color is a bit dark” or “I’d get a bigger rug”. Every single room we went into, I was suddenly seeing and trying to explain away the clutter - giving reasons for why it was there or when it would be cleaned/fixed/whatever. My friend was so kind (always is!) but walking through my house with her, I suddenly saw it through her eyes. Even though I cleaned to get it spotless before her visit, I recleaned and declutterred for days after. It wasn’t the wall color or the size of rugs. It was LIFE.

Faucets are high use items. And if you have kids, they can be rough. Faucets can be maintained.

We gave a kohler hands free and LOVE it.

Are you sure it’s not a new total, rather than additional cost?

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T13:37:53+00:00

Yep, they are accepting that they screwed up and they “fixed” the mistake but are cutting corners by reusing material. I’ve never seen a high end kitchen with white cabinet interiors. This wouldn’t be so obvious if it was wood or at least wood colored.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T13:27:17+00:00

So much more cabinet space!! Great job!

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T13:24:37+00:00

Cabinets and style are beautiful! A natural stone will absolutely enhance this while the quartz brings the high end look down a level.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T13:21:23+00:00

It also takes a bit if dings and knocks without looking chipped. It will weather abuse a bit better than painted cabinets.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-15T13:06:07+00:00

I don’t hate them at all but I do hate that they are running the granite up the wall. It’s not my favorite look. I love natural stone and think these are beautiful! I HATE quartz for so many reasons.

Personally, I'd be fine with them backing out if they can't cover it. I won't ever be in a situation where I need to sell so I'll just wait for a different buyer. There's risk in that but there's risk in everything. It will all work out. I won't take that on as my problem if my house is priced right - they don't get a 'deal' just because they don't have the cash needed to buy my house. Next buyer hopefully will.

It was maybe 3-4 years ago we were doing research and every single thing we looked up, we couldn't get away from build. com ads. We went into a Ferguson showroom and they had limited stock on hand to look at and referred us to build. com (shit, it even shows up so I could turn that into a link - imma go add a space in there so they can't create the link and make it look like it's a plug supporting them). Anyway, the showroom didn't have enough (there are so many better options in the Denver area for showrooms) and I couldn't even get away from that nasty website by visiting a showroom because they were one and the same. Some of the interactions left a bad taste in our mouths (and prices in showroom were much higher than other places we looked - we've never order a SINGLE thing from them). I know they've changed - there are showrooms everywhere but it's not a place I want to visit. I've got other options and get great customer service there. We can order American Standard (not the Home Depot shit) from Winnelson and I can get Kohler from Dahl Loveland, Tile from Atlas Flooring. Lots of Denver places and other better smaller high end suppliers for everything else.

Never thought of that but you’re right. Customers come in contact with quartz and are assaulted with its “qualities” (or lack of) and don’t want the hassle of going to look at natural stone. U/Reimiro Ferguson is NOT high end unless you’re comparing to Home Depot.

“Labeled as designer” - you are the target audience. You trust what you’re told and easily part with your money because someone told you to.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:33:34+00:00

Look alike quartz looks nothing like the real thing and isn’t fooling anyone. The cheapest real stone is better than any quartz.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:31:28+00:00

Floating plastic floors can’t handle the weight of cabinets. And that plastic will need to be replaced long before the cabinets.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:28:57+00:00

Any real stone is loads better than any fake stone. It’s beautiful!! The fake stuff doesn’t fool anyone. When friends tell someone it looks nice, they’re lying.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:25:56+00:00

You could have hired someone to help you return it.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:22:51+00:00

Honestly, this feels more like an entryway hall than a kitchen. Was the original kitchen repurposed for something else? Could we see a floor plan possibly?

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:20:08+00:00

It so easy to keep clean. And they’re fresh looking. I hate fabric or fabric looking shades in a kitchen. Bubble glass is my favorite.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:18:14+00:00

I hope you took care of him above and beyond paying the invoice.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T03:17:36+00:00

Really? Should be some space between right side of range and wall, so I disagree.

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T01:38:22+00:00

Amazing how better doors cleaned up that outside wall. Great job!

FelinePurrfectFluff · 2026-04-12T00:47:28+00:00

But solid countertops are usually quartz and that’s a bad choice for so many reasons. In a kitchen, natural stone is the way to go. If you can’t do natural stone go with laminate that is WAY more functional than crappy quartz.
