It is great that you are taking the time to explain your craft, but it would be so much more helpful if you were doing the project step by step in the video, instead of just talking about what you did and then showing the final product. By the way, the tiles look great! LaToya.

Most electrical contractors charge a minimum of $350-$600 per job. If the electrical breaker box is near the kitchen then the minimum charge may cover the whole job. If wires need to be run a long way to get to the kitchen, then the charge could be much more.

If the ceiling above is insulated, you cannot use non-IC rated cans. Other than that, most light fixtures are allowed. Hope this helps.

We are a well established full service from design to construction to installation kitchen and closet company, 15 years. Our contracts are 50% deposit (covers Material cost), 40% on first day of installation (when materials are all in the building) and 10% upon completion of job and customers sign off on all punch list and walk through.
The final moneys are basically our profit, so that are incentive to complete in a timely matter. Our contracts are non negotiable, except for our clients that are builders and designers that are repeat business. Usually customers get un easy about the deposit, but we do provide a packet, that includes how long we have been around, our BBB report and our licensing with years licensed shown.
That is our policy and is almost standard with some exceptions.

Hello-

I am a kitchen & bath designer but in a different geological area. I would suggest that you do what is called a "comp" (comparesion) of the houses around you. If they have granite tops and stainless appliances, go for it!!! If not, you are going to price yourself out of the neighborhood. You will never get your money back (it is projected that from the "get-go" you are only getting 86% at the time of the sale anyway) But on the flip side, you will sell your house much faster if you do remodel it. I would suggest keeping the price resanable by keeping the fixtures in the same location (e.g.: sink), doing a semi-custom line of cabinets and maybe splurging on granite. After all, you are going to live there for another 5 years!

I agree, the pale yellow sounds nice. But if the color concerns you, try a pale yellow with a bit more earthy brown tones in it. When you look at your paint samples, you will see the pure yellows that are crisp in color and you will see the more muted yellows. Try out a couple of the more muted yellows.

Also, go ahead and collect samples of what you want to eventually do in your home, like the granite color. This will help to cordinate everything as you go.

Also the paint stores sell small quart and smaller samples of paint that you can test out colors to see if you like them. I love these. You can buy several colors, paint them side, by side and then make a final decision.
