Q: I redid my kitchen with top-of-the-line painted maple cabinets, but there are cracks between the stiles and rails of the new cabinet doors. The kitchen company that sold them to me said that the cracks were normal, as they were smaller than the thickness of a piece of paper. But I think the cracks are unsightly and don't believe this is normal. What do you think?

To save money on a kitchen renovation, reorganize and re-equip the kitchen cabinets you already have. Replace space-hogging shelves with pullout drawers, swing-out corner units, and multitiered racks. You might reclaim so much space that you can forgo adding more footage to the room.
