Painted Cabinets

Relatively inexpensive, easy to transport, easy to put together if you follow the directions (except for the under-counter corner lazy susan - just walk right on by that one), there's a pretty wide selection of styles and colours and then they 'hang' from a rail on the wall so that the rail is secured to studs instead of trying to line up the cabinets to hit a stud (which never ever ever seems to be in the right place).If the cabinets are in good shape but not quite nice enough, and you're going to be making an island, you might be able to use them for that because an island doesn't have to be too matchy-matchy.

Looking for advice for ceiling repair
27 June 2017 | 5 replies
You might have some difficulty finding the ceiling joists rather than the 1-by laths that those tiles are stapled to, but do identify where the joists are, and mark the walls to show where the joists are so that you can drive screws in to secure the drywall.
