The base cabinet is the box that sits on the floor under your counter, and the sink has to fit inside it. So the number that settles the question isn't the sink's length. It's the sink's listed minimum cabinet size, the narrowest cabinet the maker says that sink fits. That number can be wider than the sink. One maker lists a 36-inch minimum cabinet for its 32-inch undermount sink. - [Bathroom Vanity With Drawers: What Fits at 24 and 30 Inches](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/bathroom-vanity-with-drawers-what-fits/): For a bathroom vanity with drawers, plan the sink bay first. The sink bay is the part of the cabinet under the sink, where the drain and the supply lines run. As a general rule, the drawers go where the plumbing isn't, or they get cut around it. At 24 or 30 inches, that can mean doors under the bowl, and drawers only where the sink and the cabinet line leave room for them. - [Pull-Out Trash Can Cabinet: Pick the Bins, Then Check the Opening](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/pull-out-trash-can-cabinet/): Pick the bins first. For a pull-out trash can cabinet, decide what it has to hold — one bin or two, and which size — then check that the cabinet's real opening holds those bins, then choose the spot on the run. Settle all three on the drawing before the cabinets are ordered. - [Garbage Disposal and Septic System: Decide Before You Order Cabinets](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/garbage-disposal-and-septic-system/): Start with one question: is the house on a septic system or a municipal sewer? The answer decides the rest. On septic, plan the kitchen so it doesn't depend on a garbage disposal, because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells septic homeowners to eliminate or limit its use. On a sewer, the septic concern doesn't apply, and the choice comes down to cabinet space, power and scrap habits. Either way, settle the garbage disposal and septic system question while the plan is still on paper. - [Partners in Design with Freshies Bakery](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/partners-in-design-with-freshies-bakery/): Our September Partners in Design event featured Kate Slotman from Freshies Bakery. - [Slip-Resistant Shower Floor Tile Starts With the Wet Traction Rating](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/slip-resistant-shower-floor-tile-wet-traction-rating/): Ask for the tile's wet traction rating before you commit to a shower floor tile. Slip-resistant shower floor tile isn't a finish you can spot across a showroom. What you can check is a rating, and the rating is two things. One is the product-use classification the maker gives that tile, and the category to ask about first is Interior, Wet. The other is the wet DCOF, a friction measurement taken in a lab. The rating lets you compare tiles. It isn't a promise about anyone's footing. - [Toe-Kick Drawers: Worth the Storage, or Wasted Budget?](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/toe-kick-drawers-worth-it/): A toe-kick drawer earns its spot when two things are true at once. First, you have flat, occasional-use items to put in it — baking sheets, cutting boards, boxes of foil and wrap. Second, there's enough real depth behind your base cabinets for a drawer box to slide on its track. Miss either half of that test and you're paying for a line item that won't earn its keep. - [Top 8 Reasons to Prioritize a Large Shower in Your Bathroom Design](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/top-8-reasons-to-prioritize-a-large-shower-in-your-bathroom-design/): This blog explores eight reasons why investing in a larger shower can enhance your daily experience, improve functionality , and add long-term value to your home. - [A Vessel Sink Can Put Your Vanity at the Wrong Height](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/vessel-sink-vanity-height/): Most bathroom vanity height questions start at the cabinet, which is the wrong end of the stack. The number that matters is the finished rim, and you only get it from the exact spec sheets in front of you plus the real floor in that bathroom. - [Under-Cabinet Lighting Has to Be Planned Before Your Cabinets Go In](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/under-cabinet-lighting-before-cabinets-install/): Yes, under-cabinet lighting is worth adding to a kitchen remodel. It lights the counter itself instead of casting the cook's own shadow across it. But the type and the exact placement have to be decided during design, not after the cabinets are already up. - [Framed or Frameless Cabinets? Decide by Doors and Drawers](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/framed-or-frameless-cabinets/): Pick construction by two things: the door style you want, and the drawer and shelf access you need. - [How to Choose Grout Colors for Tile That Ages Well](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/how-to-choose-grout-colors/): Grout color decides whether you see a wall of individual tiles or one continuous surface, and that single choice changes the look of a tiled room more than the tile does. Match the grout to the tile and the joints disappear, leaving a calm, quiet field. Contrast it and every tile is outlined, turning the same material into a graphic pattern. There's no universally right answer, but there is a right answer for your room, and it depends on whether you chose that tile for its shape or for its surface. - [Is a Heated Bathroom Floor Worth It, and When to Decide](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/is-a-heated-bathroom-floor-worth-it/): A heated bathroom floor is worth it when the floor is tile and something cold sits underneath it, and it's much less compelling when the bathroom sits over conditioned, heated space. That's the whole test, and it has nothing to do with luxury. A tile floor over an unheated crawlspace, over a slab, or over a garage stays cold all winter no matter how well the room itself is heated, because you're standing on a surface connected to the cold. A tile floor over a warm basement or a heated main floor is already most of the way there. - [Where a Shower Niche Can Actually Go in Your Bathroom](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/where-a-shower-niche-can-go/): A shower niche goes in an interior wall that carries no plumbing, positioned so the opening sits somewhere between roughly 40 and 60 inches off the shower floor. That's the short answer, and it rules out more walls than most homeowners expect. The wall you're facing when you shower is usually the wet wall carrying supply lines and the valve. The wall behind you is often an exterior wall stuffed with insulation you can't give up. What's left is frequently one dry interior partition, and that's where the niche goes. - [How to Choose Cabinet Hardware Your Hands Can Actually Use](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/choose-cabinet-hardware-hands-can-use/): Choose cabinet hardware by what each opening has to do, not by what looks best on a sample board. Knobs belong on light doors and small drawers. Pulls belong on anything heavy, anything tall, and anything a wet or tired hand has to open with one motion. Get that backwards and you will not notice for a month, because the room photographs beautifully either way. You notice when the trash pull-out fights you every night, when the pot drawer needs two fingers and a wrist twist, and when the only fix is drilling new holes through finished cabinet fronts you already paid for. - [Partners in Design with Bob Matthiesen of Pop-ity Popcorn](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/partners-in-design-with-bob-matthiesen-of-pop-ity-popcorn/): At our August Partners in Design, we welcomed Bob Matthiesen of Pop-ity Popcorn Co. - [The Room Decides Stock or Custom Before the Budget Does](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/room-decides-stock-or-custom-cabinets/): For most kitchens, a stock or semi-custom cabinet line is the right answer. Stock boxes are built around three fixed numbers, and in a room with square walls and an eight-foot ceiling those numbers work fine. A custom kitchen earns its cost somewhere else, when the room refuses one of them. A work surface that has to sit below 36 inches. A walkway that can't spare 24 inches of depth on both sides. A wall running out of square by more than a scribe strip can cover. - [Four Countertop Decisions That Lock at Template](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/four-countertop-decisions-lock-at-template/): Custom countertops get measured after your cabinets are installed, not before. Fabrication then typically runs one to three weeks in a shop, and install day itself is a few hours. You lose the kitchen sink for the stretch in between, which is the part most people fail to plan around. Price tracks square footage, material, edge profile, and how many cutouts the slab needs. - [Where Open Shelving Beats Upper Cabinets](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/where-open-shelving-beats-upper-cabinets/): The 18 isn't sacred. Push it to 20 or 22 and the wall breathes, a stand mixer slides underneath without ducking, and a taller backsplash finally has room to read. Drop below 15 and your coffee maker won't clear the shelf above it. Kitchen upper cabinet height is one of the few dimensions where two inches changes how the room feels every single day. - [Butcher Block Works on the Island and Fails at the Sink](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/butcher-block-works-island-fails-sink/): Butcher block earns its place on an island. Put that same wood around a sink and it becomes the first surface in the kitchen to fail. - [Free Kitchen Planners Will Draw a Layout You Can’t Build](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/what-a-free-kitchen-planner-misses/): Use the free planner. For a homeowner still deciding whether the sink goes under the window or on the island, a free kitchen design tool is the fastest way to stop arguing in the abstract and start pointing at something. It costs nothing and it takes an evening. - [Look Under the Sink to Find Out If Your Countertop Is Laminate](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/tell-if-your-countertop-is-laminate/): None of that makes it a bad product. Laminate countertops are inexpensive, they come in a huge range of patterns, and in a laundry room or a rental they're a sound call. It just isn't a surface you maintain your way out of. Once you accept the top is coming off, the useful comparison shifts to kitchen countertop materials that hold up to the way you actually cook. - [Bathroom Design Trends: Luxury Meets Practical Living](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/bathroom-design-trends-luxury-meets-practical-living/): As bathroom remodeling trends continue to evolve, homeowners are increasingly seeking spaces that balance luxury aesthetics with long-term functionality. - [Island Length Decides How Many Pendants You Need](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/island-length-decides-pendant-count/): Two pendants is the right answer over most kitchen islands. Three works once the island runs past about nine feet. A single linear fixture wins when the ceiling is low, or when you want a clear sightline across the room. Style is the last part of this call, not the first. Island length and ceiling height set the size of the fixture you can hang, and the electrician cuts the boxes long before anyone hands you a lighting catalog. - [You Can Stay Home During a Bathroom Remodel. Mostly.](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/stay-home-during-bathroom-remodel/): Almost everyone stays. Two to four weeks of on-site work sounds unlivable until you see how the days in a bathroom remodel actually break down, because most of that stretch is quiet finish work behind a closed door. The genuinely hard part is narrower than people fear, and it lands earlier than they expect. There's a short run of days when the water is off and the room is unusable. Everything else is dust, noise, and strangers in your hallway by 7:30 a.m. Plan around those few days and the project is livable. Plan around nothing and you'll be showering at your sister's house on no notice. - [A Showroom Visit Shows What Online Photos Can’t](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/what-a-showroom-visit-reveals/): You've saved a dozen kitchen photos, bookmarked three countertop colors, and stood in a big-box aisle holding a laminate chip up to the light. It still feels like a guess. A screen flattens the two things that actually decide whether a finish works in your home: how it reads under your own light, and how it looks next to everything else around it. An in-person visit fixes both. You see real slabs, real cabinet doors, and real tile at full size, together, with a designer who has watched these choices play out in hundreds of homes. - [Partners in Design with Jessie Stipcak](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/partners-in-design-with-jessie-stipcak/): Our July Partners in Design event featured Jessie Stipcak. - [Counter Height or Bar Height for Island Seating](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/island-seating-counter-vs-bar-height/): Most families should put counter-height seating on a kitchen island. It sits at the same 36 inches as the rest of your counters, the stools tuck cleanly underneath, and the people sitting there stay at eye level with whoever's cooking. Bar-height seating at 42 inches earns its place in specific rooms — an open island that faces a living space, or a raised ledge that hides a messy prep zone. Get the height wrong and the stools feel like either a step stool or a lifeguard chair, and nobody uses them. - [What Goes Into a Tile Job That Actually Lasts](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/tile-job-that-actually-lasts/): Then the tile gets set in thinset mortar, spaced evenly, and checked for lippage, the small height differences between tiles that catch toes and raking light. Big modern tiles are far less forgiving, which is one reason professional tile installation is a defined skill rather than a given. The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation, an industry body that certifies installers, says its program "tests knowledge and skills to determine if tile installers understand industry standards, whether they are current and up-to-date on best practices, and the correct way to install tile." Materials don't guarantee the result. The hands setting them do. - [The Real Price Gap Between Stock and Custom Cabinets](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/stock-vs-custom-cabinet-costs/): New kitchen cabinets usually run somewhere between $5,000 and $30,000, and that spread isn't a dodge. It's the whole story. The same kitchen can cost three or four times as much depending on one early choice: stock, semi-custom, or full custom cabinetry. Where you land comes down to how the boxes are built, what the doors are made of, and how far the layout has to bend to fit your room. Cabinets are usually the single biggest line item in a kitchen, so the number you settle on here sets the tone for the whole budget. Here's what actually moves it. - [When Blue Cabinets Work, and When to Skip Them](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/when-blue-kitchen-cabinets-work/): Blue is the color homeowners fall for on a showroom floor and second-guess in their own kitchen. Both reactions are fair. Blue cabinets can make a kitchen feel custom and calm, or they can fight the room and date it fast. What makes blue succeed or fail is almost never the shade by itself. It's the placement, the light in the room, and the finishes sitting next to it. For most kitchens, blue earns its place in a supporting role first — a navy island, or blue base cabinets under lighter uppers — before it takes over every wall. Wall-to-wall blue can absolutely work. It just asks for a big, bright room and an owner who's sure. Skip blue only when the kitchen is small, dim, and already short on contrast. - [Company, Contractor, or Handyman for Your Bathroom Remodel?](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/who-builds-your-bathroom-remodel/): The gap a general contractor leaves is exactly what dedicated bathroom remodel companies are built to close. Design and construction live under one roof, so the same team that helps you choose the tile is the team that installs it. You stop being the go-between. Instead of managing a designer, a supplier, and a builder who've never met, you work with one group that owns the whole picture. - [A Design Partner Takes Kitchen Selections Off Your Plate](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/kitchen-design-partner-for-builders/): See how a kitchen and bath design partner handles cabinet, countertop, and appliance selections on your builds, holds them to the allowance, and protects your schedule. - [What Cabinet Refacing Costs, and When It’s Worth It](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/cabinet-refacing-cost-worth-it/): Refacing kitchen cabinets sounds like a bargain until you price it out and the number lands higher than you pictured. So the honest answer goes up front. For an average kitchen, cabinet refacing runs about $5,000 to $13,000, and most homeowners land near $7,000. That's roughly half the cost of comparable new custom cabinetry. Whether that money is well spent comes down to three things: the shape your existing boxes are in, the door material you pick, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Get those right and refacing is often the smartest dollar in the kitchen. - [Your Kitchen Might Be Too Small for the Island You Want](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/room-for-a-kitchen-island/): A kitchen island is the one upgrade almost everyone wants and the one that gets forced into a space that can't hold it more than any other. Here's the honest order of decisions. Room comes first, because an island only works if the walkways around it stay wide enough to cook and pass through. Function comes second: prep space, storage, a place to sit, maybe a sink. Style comes last. Most disappointing islands aren't ugly. They're too big for the floor, too small to be useful, or planted right where they block the path from the sink to the stove. Get the clearances right and the rest of the island tends to fall into place. - [How to Vet a Bathroom Remodeler Before You Sign](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/how-to-vet-a-bathroom-remodeler/): A bathroom remodel is one of the most disruptive projects you can invite into your home, and the person you hire matters more than any tile or faucet you pick. The safest way to vet a bathroom remodeler is to verify the license and insurance, read a genuinely detailed written scope, and look for one accountable team from the first design meeting through the final walkthrough. Every website looks polished. The finished work does not always match the sales pitch. So before you sign anything, it helps to know exactly what separates a remodeler who will protect your project from one who will leave you chasing a leak a year later. - [Why Homeowners Are Trading DIY for a Design-Led Remodel](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/homeowners-trading-diy-design-led-remodel/): The numbers just drew a clear line between the two ways people take on a kitchen or bath. In its mid-2026 market outlook, the National Kitchen & Bath Association projects that professional-led remodeling spending will climb 5.3% this year, while do-it-yourself work grows just 1.1%. The overall market is basically flat, hovering near $228 billion. So the pie isn't getting any bigger. But a noticeably bigger slice of it is heading to the pros. If you're standing in your own kitchen weighing whether to swing the hammer yourself or hand the job to a design team, that shift is worth understanding. It says something about how these projects have changed — and about where they tend to go sideways. - [Why a Bathroom Remodel Takes Weeks, Not a Weekend](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/why-bathroom-remodel-takes-weeks-not-a-weekend/): Before demolition, a remodel runs through design, material selections, measuring, and ordering — and that planning stretch often takes longer than the construction itself. Every finish you pick carries a lead time. The trades can't install a vanity, a countertop, or a tile that hasn't shown up yet, so the pre-build phase quietly sets your real bathroom remodel timeline. - [How to Plan a Closet System Around Your Wardrobe](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/plan-closet-system-around-your-wardrobe/): Most people assume a frustrating closet is a space problem. They picture a bigger footprint, another rod, one more shelf. But step into a closet that genuinely works and the difference is rarely square footage — it is planning. A closet that earns its keep is built around how one particular person actually dresses, folds, and stores their things, not around a one-size template. That distinction matters in a lot of Mid-Michigan homes, where a spare bedroom, a bump-out, or a reworked primary suite becomes the new dressing space. Getting the layout right the first time is the difference between a closet you fight every morning and one that quietly does its job. - [The Best Materials for High-Traffic Kitchens and Bathrooms](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/the-best-materials-for-high-traffic-kitchens-and-bathrooms/): Choosing the right materials is one of the most important decisions in any kitchen or bathroom remodel. Durable, high-quality materials can help protect your investment, maintain the beauty of your space, and deliver reliable performance for years to come. - [Why a Kitchen Remodel Actually Takes Four to Six Months](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/kitchen-remodel-timeline-four-to-six-months/): The most powerful way to protect a kitchen remodel timeline is to make every selection decision on time in the front of the project. A single delayed selection in weeks three through five — an undecided countertop color, an unchosen backsplash, a range that keeps getting swapped — pushes cabinet ordering out, which pushes cabinet delivery out, which pushes template out, which pushes install out. A one-week hesitation in selections almost always shows up as a two-to-three-week delay at the finished-kitchen end because it cascades through cabinet lead time and template scheduling. - [Where Cabinet and Countertop Pairings Go Wrong](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/where-cabinet-and-countertop-pairings-go-wrong/): Every kitchen and bath remodel comes down to a few decisions the homeowner makes twice — once at the sample stage, and again in their head six months after install. The cabinet-and-countertop pairing is the classic double-decision. On paper, at the showroom, a bright white shaker paired with a white-veined quartz reads clean and confident. In the finished kitchen, under real household lighting, next to a plaster wall that has a warmer cast than the swatch suggested, the same pair can look flat, cold, or subtly off in ways nobody at the design table can quite point to. - [Whirlpool’s July 9 Price Hike Just Reshaped Kitchen Budgets](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/whirlpool-july-9-price-hike-kitchen-budgets/): Two things hit the appliance shelf in the last eight days, and together they change what a July kitchen remodel budget looks like in Mid-Michigan. On June 23, a 50 percent tariff on imported steel used in home appliances took effect. Roughly two weeks later, on July 9, Whirlpool is raising list prices about 4 percent across major appliance lines, layered on top of a 10 percent increase the company took in April. - [Where to Spend (and Skip) in a Half Bath Remodel](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/where-to-spend-and-skip-half-bath-remodel/): A half bath is the smallest room in most Mid-Michigan homes and the one every guest uses. There is no shower curtain to hide behind, no tub to fill the visual frame, no closet to pull the eye away. There is a vanity, a toilet, a mirror, a light, a floor, and a wall treatment, and that is essentially the entire design. Every surface is on display, every reflection counts, and a single oversized cabinet or under-scaled mirror is enough to make the room feel cramped instead of considered. - [How Rising Equity Reshapes Kitchen and Bath Budget Math](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/home-equity-kitchen-bath-budget-math/): The National Association of REALTORS just reported that the U.S. median existing-home sale price climbed to $429,300 in May 2026, up 1.3% year over year and the 35th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains. That is nearly three straight years of rising values. Sales picked up 3.2% to a 4.17 million seasonally adjusted annual rate, inventory sat at 1.55 million units (a 4.5-month supply), and the Housing Affordability Index moved from 97.5 a year ago to 105.6. For a Mid-Michigan homeowner thinking about a kitchen or primary-bath remodel, those numbers quietly change the math. - [Why a 15% Housing Slowdown Boosts Kitchen and Bath Work](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/housing-starts-may-2026-stay-and-improve/): The U.S. Census Bureau released its May 2026 New Residential Construction report on June 16, and the headline number was a sharp one. Privately-owned housing starts ran at a 1,177,000 annual rate, down 15.4% from April and 8.7% below May 2025. Building permits slipped to a 1,413,000 annual rate, down 0.7% from the prior month. For Mid-Michigan homeowners watching the market, the practical takeaway is simple. The pool of move-up homes for sale is shrinking, the math on staying versus moving is shifting in real time, and the question on more kitchen tables is no longer which house to buy. It is how to make the house we already own work harder for the next decade. - [What $24K Buys in a Kitchen and $15K in a Bath](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/houzz-2026-kitchen-bath-remodel-medians/): A homeowner who walks into a Mid-Michigan showroom this summer is usually carrying one of two budget numbers in their head, and neither one is quite right. The first is the HGTV number, a primary bathroom redone in a weekend on a credit card. The second is the worst-case viral number, six figures for a kitchen because someone on social media said theirs was that. The actual planning benchmark, just published in the Houzz Pro 2026 trends report, sits between those poles. The median planned spend on a U.S. kitchen remodel in 2026 is $24,000. - [Proposed Quartz Tariff Could Double Countertop Costs](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/proposed-quartz-tariff-countertop-costs/): A federal trade decision pending this year could roughly double what a Michigan homeowner pays for a quartz countertop. The U.S. International Trade Commission is weighing a tariff-rate quota on imported quartz slabs that, in its strongest form, would lift the average per-kitchen quartz countertop cost from $504 to $1,036 — a swing big enough to reshape a remodel budget and the decision of whether to schedule the project this fall or push it to 2027. The headline number comes from a June 14 Fortune analysis citing the commission's working petition, and the policy itself sits with a federal commission, not with any one supplier. For Lansing and Mid-Michigan families planning a kitchen or bath project, the practical question is what to actually do with the news while it is still pending. - [When Does a Multi-Space Remodel Make Sense?](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/when-does-a-multi-space-remodel-make-sense/): Remodeling connected spaces together allows you to create better flow throughout the home, improve everyday functionality, and maximize long-term value. - [Partners in Design with Cynthia Grostick](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/partners-in-design-with-cynthia-grostick/): Our latest Partners in Design event featured Cynthia Grostick. - [Why the Best Kitchen and Bath Designs Use Refined Layering](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/why-the-best-kitchen-and-bath-designs-use-refined-layering/): Refined layering separates a space that simply looks newly remodeled from one that feels polished, welcoming, and truly custom. - [Timeless Design Choices for Kitchens and Bathrooms](https://gomcdaniels.com/blog/timeless-design-choices-for-kitchens-and-bathrooms/): Timeless designs focus on enduring styles.
