New To Kitchens? Posting Pics? Read Me! [Help keep on Page 1]

Welcome! If you are new to the Kitchens Forum, you may find the following information and links helpful.

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)/Articles pages contain helpful information about how to navigate this site as well as the world of kitchen renovations.

The Kitchen Forum Acronyms will help you understand some of the acronyms used frequently in posts.

The Finished Kitchens Blog has pictures and information about many GW members' finished kitchens. Not only can you see them alphabetically, but you can also use the "Find-A-Kitchen" function to utilize several search options if you're looking for specific things like a kitchen w/a Beverage Center or a kitchen w/a mix of dark and light cabinets. Access "Find-A-Kitchen" via the via the menu bar at the top of any FKB page. Additionally, "Find-A-Kitchen" contains a link to "In-Progress Kitchens" for those members' kitchens that are not quite ready for the FKB. There is also a link to "Coming Soon Kitchens" for those kitchens that are ready for the FKB but have not yet been added. To access the "In-Progress Kitchens", the "Coming Soon Kitchens", and the "FKB Categories", see the links on the menu bar at the top of any FKB page.

The Appliances Forum is very useful when you have questions specific to appliances.

To start off the kitchen remodel process...take the Sweeby Test. Then, move on to Beginning a Kitchen Plan.

Other topics such as layouts, planning for storage, and stone materials are discussed in later topics in this thread. Even more information can be found by doing a search on the forum.

Tips:

  • Before posting a question, please search the forum. There's a very good chance someone has already asked the question.

  • When using the "search" function, be sure to use the search box on the bottom of the page, not the top!

  • Note, however, that you will probably have better luck searching if you use Google (or similar search engine) than if you use the Forum search function. When using Google, to limit your results to Garden Web, include the following in your search criteria:

***site:ths.gardenweb.com
In the Subject, the site changes the double quote used as the inches indicator (") to a single quote ('). We don't know why. To compensate, use two single quotes and it will appear as a double quote in the Subject. Luckily, the double quote works in the message box.
When composing a new thread, you have a couple of options:

  • Have replies emailed to you: check the box offering this option. However, you must have "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked in your profile for this to work (see the "Your Profile" link at the very top of the page) [See the post later in this thread with the Subject: Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process]

  • Insert a link: When you "preview" your message, you will be provided with two boxes for a link...one is for the link itself and the second is for the name or description of the...

    This is from a VERY interesting art project on contemporary body image. The artist photoshopped classical paintings, giving the depictions of Venus that we are all familiar with a "modern" idealized body type. Pretty revealing. In this one, and all that are on the link below, the modern one is shown first followed by the original.

    Fascinating Angie, my DH and I were looking and we both think the modern take on the painting is weird looking.

    Willtv, the second Diego Rivera is stunning. It looks like an adobe room painted top to bottom. DH said "Cool!" to both Riveras

    Enduring, I definitely agree, the skinny versions of Venus look weird and not terribly attractive. However, I do think the photoshop artist did not overly exaggerate. That is, I could easily imagine the skinny versions gracing, say, a perfume or eyeshadow ad in a magazine. I cannot say the same for the original versions.

    NO NO NO, not ever another sink (I don't think anyway). I can't believe I am almost done! Angie you have been a real cheer leader with this sink project. I want to thank you for all the encouragement you've provided.

    Buehl, I love the "flake". It is truly one of a kind.

    Earlier today enduring's sink pic was right side up. Now it is upside down on my iPad. Anyone else see it this way??

    Nope Enduring. The sink pic is upside down no matter which way I turn the iPad. However, it is just fine on my Mac. I thought it was just a fluck yesterday and figured things would straighten out today.

    It's been a crazy day with our senior dog at the vets. I got on GW for some sanity tonight but "New To Kitchens.." just continues the craziness. I think I should cut my losses and go read a book. ;)

    Big BUMP to get this baby off of pg 3.
