Crown Molding And Ceiling Vents

Crown molding are highly desirable these days, they make a room more finished and classic. For new home constructions, crown molding placement may already be a part of the plan and may pose no conflict with the location of the air vents. But for older homes, that were originally built with no crown molding, and crown molding was not a consideration in the past, the location of the vents placed in the ceilings may sometimes interfere with the placement of the new crown moldings. Having ceiling vents placed way too close to the edge of ceiling, just an inch or two near the walls, may complicate the idea of adding a crown molding. If you are serious about adding crown molding to a room with vents placed too close to the edge of the ceilings, these vents may need to be moved in order to give clearance to the crown moldings. But moving the air vents may not sound as easy at it look because hidden above the attic, on the other side of the ceiling vents, are huge ducting system attached to these vents that will make vents moving a complicated process, specially when you need to move the vents some feet away, in different part of the ceiling.

Buying Store Display Products

One of the most expensive renovation in many houses is usually the kitchen area which can easily range from $5000 to $50,000. Most homeowners nowadays demand top-notch, high quality kitchen cabinets, state-of-the-art home appliances like refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove range. But these things don't come cheap at all. Most double door stainless steel refrigerator can range anywhere from $1000 to $3000, depending on brand, quality, performance, and added features. Dishwasher prices range anywhere from $200 to $1500 depending on variety of factors like branding, functions, design, maker, etc. One, if not the most expensive expense in kitchen renovation is cabinetries and countertops which can range anywhere from $1000 to $25,000 depending widely on quality, material, as well as branding and added functionalities and state-of-the-art upgrades and conveniences features like lazy susan in corner cabinets, pull-out drawers, etc.

Although, it is not widely advisable for everyone because you sometimes compromise best quality and flawless product, but buying store displays clearance can sometimes be great finds because they are mostly great bargains. Stores sometimes clearance off old store displays of their products in order to replace it with new models and new arrivals. Although, some clearance items have damages and have signs of wear and tear from all the store customers examining such product displays, but most of these items are never been used before, and work just like brand new items fresh from the box! Minor scratches and bents maybe bothersome at times, but with savings of more than fifty (50) percent off or possibly more, sometimes it is worth dealing with little flaws and boxless products.

We recently bought a store display customed cabinets for more than 70 percent off the store listing price, it was such a great deal. It is in great shape, some little scratches in some of the wood, but the overall appearance is great and they still look very high-end. Although, we needed to modify the layout of the cabinets and countertops in order to fit with the kitchen we are working on, with some rearranging and few ommision of cabinets, we were able to work the clearanced store display cabinets and make it work with the kitchen. On the positive note, it is great to have a high quality cabinets without paying the high price.

The only pitfall with buying store display clearance items is that you have to learn to deal with imperfections, damages, and flaws sometimes, other times just boxless. To get an amazing deal, clearance buyer may need to do some thinking and lots of creativity to make the item work with the existing place somehow. Because with clearance items, what you see is what you get, there are not a lot of choices, you need to think outside the box and think of ways to make it work. If you cannot find ways to make it work, another option is to pay the full regular store price and save the headache :-)
