You can buy tickets from Vienna to Bratislava directly on the Internet using the official Austrian Rail website [ENG]. It is not, however, possible to buy Bratislava to Vienna ticket. Moreover, you will not get the special discount price for return ticket as if you would get when buying at the desk.
As soon as you have bought the ticket, you have 3 days to make your journey. For example if today is October 28th and you buy you ticket for the November 10th, you can realize your journey either on November 10th, 11th or 12th. Then you have 16 more days to use your ticket for the return journey. If you buy a ticket valid also for the city transport within Vienna Zone 100, it is valid only till midnight of the day you marked it in the train. You do not have to mark it again inside of the Vienna public city transport. Visit official Slovak Rail webpage for more information (SK).
Tickets valid one week or one month give you the opportunity to travel there and back multiple times within this time period.
From Vienna Hauptbahnhof the train departs every hour from 5:20 to 22:21. The very last train to Bratislava goes around 0:40 but does not arrive to the Bratislava central station, but Bratislava - Petržalka train station. From here you would have to take a bus number 80 to get to the Bratislava city center, or 93 to get to the central train station.
From Bratislava to Vienna there is also departure every hour beginning at 4:24 with the last departure at 22:42.
For more specific times of departure visit the Slovak Rail Timetables (EN) and follow the truck number 100 "Bratislava - Marchegg - (Gänserndorf ) - Wien a späť".
Transport from the station
The public transport stop is called "Hlavná stanica" and is one of the most important stops in whole city. Visit the Official city transport web site with departures from Central train station for more information. The basic directions and routes from station:
- to city center - you take any bus or trolleybus directing to Račianske mýto and then take a tram to the city center; you can just walk following the signs "Centrum"
- to bus station - take the direct bus number 210 towards "Autobusová stanica" and take off at the last stop.
- to the airport - take the direct bus number 21 toward "Letisko M.R. Štefánika" and take off at the last stop.
As many documents are written in Slovak even English declared, here is the most important vocabulary, which will make everything easier for you to read:
- vlak - train
- zo stanice - from station
- do stanice - to station
- zastávka - bus/tram/train stop
- Bratislava hl.st. - Bratislava central station
- Wien Sudbf/Hauptbf.- Vienna central station
- a späť - and back
- Obyčajné cestovné spiatočné - Normal return ticket
- Polovičné cestovné spiatočné - Reduced return ticket
I will be in Vienna in September and would like to go to Hallstatt after that. What is the best way - Train or Bus? and the prices for the same?
Published by Sandhya | 22 Aug '14
Hi Sandhya,
we are not sure, since this is a website about traveling to Slovakia. However, google advise using IC train
(in general : buses are cheaper, but less comfy)
Published by Samuel (Bratislava Guide) | 22 Aug '14
Hello. I couldn't find the price of the one-way ticket from Vienna to Bratislava.
Best regards!
Published by volnei | 09 Aug '14
Hi volnei,
there is a special agreement between Vienna and Bratislava, thanks to which they offer discounted price for return ticket. One-way tickets are of course sold too, but sometimes are even more expensive than the return. Unfortunately I do not know the price for one way, but you can suppose it will be approximately the same price as return, if not more expensive.
Published by Jakub (Author) | 11 Aug '14
Hey there! If I buy return-way ticket, is that valiuble only for that day, or I can use it 10 days after? Thanks!
Published by Mare | 22 Jul '14
Hi Mare,
no it's not only for one day, you can use it later. However, don't forget to reserve a seat if you want one :)
Published by Samuel (Bratislava Guide) | 22 Jul '14
Also, as for that ticket for city transport, I can use it only in Bratislava/Vienna, or in both cities?
Published by Mare | 23 Jul '14
Hi Mare,
public transport is included only in Vienna in Bratislava you have to buy separate ticket for public transport.

Please could you tell me the best way to get from Vienna to Dunajská Streda? I am travelling there for a wedding in August.
Many thanks
Published by Ak | 17 Jul '14
Hi Ak,
the best option is to take a bus from Vienna Airport and get off at Bus station in Bratislava. There are several direct buses from Bratislava to Dunajska streda and it take approx. 1 hour.

Is it possible to transport bicycles on these trams? And what If there are 8 of us? :/
Published by Klara | 10 Jun '14
Hi Klara,
Transporting bikes in trams is possible, and it is for free. You should always ask the driver to give u persmission to take the bike inside (it might happen, that the place selected for transporting bikes, strollers, wheelchairs is already occupied, so you have to wait for the next line).
It is possible to transport only 2 bikes in the FIRST tram carrige. But do not worry, the trams usually drive every 10-12 minutes, so you can split into some groups and wait for each other at the final destination :)
Published by Lucia (Bratislava Guide) | 10 Jun '14
Hi Klara,
just to be sure, are you asking about trams (public transport in Bratislava) or trains (intercity transport)?
Published by Samuel (Bratislava Guide) | 10 Jun '14
Thank you Samuel, I wanted to ask about trains from Bratislava to Vienna
Published by Klara | 10 Jun '14
Hi Klara,
while Slovak rails aren't clear about the bicycles, OBB (Austria) states, that you take your bicycle for free. However be sure to check (in the timetable), that your train has a bicycle symbol. You can find more info right here
Published by Samuel (Bratislava Guide) | 10 Jun '14
Hi Will,
Are you asking about trains or trams but nevertheless you can bring bike on both and mostly it is free of any charge. Ask driver if you can and have your bike clean before entering.
Published by Jozef (Bratislava Guide) | 10 Jun '14
Hi there.
I am planning on attending the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest which I assume will be in Vienna (due to lack of venue or hotels in Austria's other cities). Does the weekly train ticket include fare both ways? Even with the cost of a train ticket, I feel that staying in Bratislava and travelling to and from Vienna every day would be far cheaper.
Or am I just being an idiot? ;)
Published by Liam | 06 Jun '14
Hi Liam,
yes, it includes both ways. Accommodation in Bratislava is surely cheaper will be more available.
Published by Samuel (Bratislava Guide) | 06 Jun '14
I am attending the festival in Nicklesdorf, Nova Rock. I am flying into Bratislava on Thursday the 12th of June and want to travel to Vienna to get a connecting train. I would rather get the train but I was wondering how I would get from the airport to Bratislava train station?
Thanks :)
Published by Theresa | 15 May '14
Hi Theresa,
you can get a direct bus from Bratislava Airport to Vienna. Price is lower and the time is more or less the same. Find the bus connections here: Bratislava to Vienna by bus
If you would still like to go by train, there is a bus number 61 connecting Bratislava airport and train station departing every 20 minutes.

Hello, I'm looking to go to Bratislava for a three day weekend from London and do a day/possibly overnight trip Vienna. It's from the 23/05/14 to the 26/05/14. It appears all of the trains are booked out to Vienna, or have I gone wrong somewhere?
I was thinking about going to Vienna on the sunday night and on the way back from Vienna just going straight to the Bratislava airport. Is this easily doable if I can get train tickets?
Thanks Hannah
Published by Hannah | 05 May '14
Hi Hannah,
no way all trains are booked :) The trains are running every hour and you do not need to buy a ticket online. You can buy a ticket directly on a station. However, if you consider going back directly to airport, consider buying a bus ticket Bratislava to Vienna by bus - this will take you from city center to the airport. If you go by train, you would need to take a public transport bus from Bratislava train station to the airport. This is actually also easily doable, as buses run every ~15 minutes and the journey takes the same time. It is up to you :)
Have a nice trip

If you know how to use a web server, (at home or with a hosting service), you should be able to learn my system and set up a simple web site in a few minutes. Just download it, install it, and check the manual.
Many web site generators already exist. Jekyll is a rather famous example. I built my own because I felt I could do simpler. The result is indeed very simple:

- It has trivial configuration options.
- What it does is usually obvious.
Nevertheless, USSM still has some loose ends. I'm aware of some, and I'm sure I missed others. So, if it causes you any problem, please send me an e-mail. If you have any question, any suggestion (even silly ones), you are probably not alone. So please ask. It will help me improve USSM.

TORONTO - You can never have too much depth and toughness in the NBA, something Dwane Casey has stressed throughout his tenure in Toronto.
The Raptors and their hard-nosed head coach will welcome the addition of another high-energy piece to compliment the team's already spirited frontcourt rotation.
Toronto has agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent forward Tyler Hansbrough on a two-year deal worth part of the Raptors' mid-level exception, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Exact financial terms are not known.
The Raptors' interest in Hansbrough was first reported by ESPN on Twitter Tuesday evening.
Hansbrough, 27, has spent his entire four-year NBA career in Indiana, averaging 8.9 points and 4.7 rebounds as a key reserve for the Pacers. The energetic forward was selected 13th overall by Indiana in the 2009 NBA draft fresh off winning an NCAA championship as a senior at North Carolina.
The Pacers rescinded their qualifying offer to Hansbrough last week, making him an unrestricted free agent. A live wire, Hansbrough will give the Raptors added depth to a frontcourt rotation that already features prized sophomore Jonas Valanciunas, the undervalued Amir Johnson and reserve forward Quincy Acy.
The deal can and is expected to be announced on Wednesday, when teams can officially agree to terms with free agents.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Patty is hilarious; there's no doubt to me that he stole the show. he really has endeared himself to the community. what a great personality!
Not the quite the #blazersinsuits moment I thought I caught out of the corner of my eye, but Patty is indeed one of the team's most outstanding assets --above and well beyond his skills on the court.
Patty has quickly become one of my favorite Blazers. His team-first attitude, his enthusiasm and his smile are infectious. I think he's filled the hole of emotional leader that Pendy left open when he was released. To read about his involvement with the community endears me even more to him. Now if only he could hit that 3 pointer with more consistency....
Storyteller, I completely agree that Patty's filled the emotional hole that Pendy left. With the ups and downs this year that role has been invaluable.On the 3-pointer... He's been working on it at practice A TON. I'm sure we'll see him rock it consistently soon :)Lastly, I'm excited to read your blogs! I love reading your work, I learn so much.
I see Patty having a future in TV after basketball. He has the charisma and personality to make a basketball analyst(Rice can't go on forever)
OK, I work at Onpoint and I never heard a word about this! I would've totally volunteered to help!
Great article Sarah. Love the title!
Great Blog! Love Patty his energy is contagious!
Patty's jacket is very Steve Erwin, may he rest in peace.
patty ıs very good player and young coach should gıve more mınutes

Scallop-Wild Rice Pie in a Hazelnut Crust
Howard L. Puckett
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 5 tablespoons ice water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 1 pound bay scallops, drained well
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Riesling or other white wine
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked wild rice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- Pulse first 3 ingredients in a food processor 3 or 4 times or until combined. Add butter and shortening, and pulse 5 or 6 times or until crumbly. With processor running, gradually add 5 tablespoons water, and process until dough forms a ball and separates from sides of bowl, adding more water if necessary. Cover and chill.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot; sauté 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Remove mushroom mixture from skillet; set aside. Add scallops to skillet; sauté 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside.
- Whisk together cornstarch and wine in a bowl. Combine cornstarch mixture, cream, and cheese in a large skillet over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in mushroom mixture, scallops, rice, and remaining ingredients. Set aside and keep warm.
- Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half to 1/8-inch thickness. Place one half of dough in bottom of a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish. Spoon scallop mixture over crust. Place other half of dough over filling, pinching to seal edges. Cut slits in top of crust with a knife.
- Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until crust is lightly browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
- Wine note: Can I pair anything but Riesling? With the sweetness of the hazelnuts, the scallops, and the sauce, i would head straight for a bottle from Germany in the Mosel region. Something like Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2001 ($27). --Steven Geddes

An Old-Time Christmas at Silver Dollar City
Written by James Rao
The following is an abridged account of my family's recent visit to Silver Dollar City (SDC) during its annual Christmas Festival. In order to keep the report to a shorter length (by my standards, anyway), I am going to squeeze our two-day visit into a one day report. Please note that I have taken liberties with the time line in order to fit everything into an abridged report – despite the fact that there is no way to accomplish everything detailed in this report in a single day's visit.Tweet
I first want to note that the temperature during our visit was generally in the upper twenties to lower thirties, so 90% of the "rides" were closed, something folks need to consider when visiting a theme park in December. The only rides open (with few exceptions) were indoor attractions such as Fire-In-The-Hole, Flooded Mine, Grandfather's Mansion, and the Marvel Cave tour (where it is 60 degrees year round).
However, we did not venture to SDC during the park's Christmas festival ("An Old Time Christmas") for thrill rides. As season pass holders, we've visited the park countless times and ridden all the featured attractions. This visit was to be the starting point of our Christmas season, and our only goal was to experience and embrace the yuletide spirit.
Moving along....
The park is beautifully arranged for the holidays with amazing decorative touches and over four million lights spread throughout, with the main focal point being a 5-story tall Christmas tree shining like a yuletide beacon in the center of Main Street. It is quite an amazing sight and a featured part of the night's jubilant Christmas festivities (more about those later). At any rate, outside of Orlando, I do not think I've seen anything quite as dressed up for the holidays as SDC. Wow!
We began our visit by purchasing SDC's signature hot chocolate to wet our appetite for Christmas joy. This rich delicacy is filled with marshmallows, whipped topping, chocolate chips, and candy canes, which melt in the beverage and provide a warm, pepperminty aftertaste. Yummy. At $1.75 a pop (in a refillable mug we bought on our very first visit in 2009), this decadent joy is not too expensive on the wallet, yet very easy on the palate, and in 30 degree coldness, quite warming to the heart! I would venture to guess my family consumed over a dozen refills during our visit. The other beverage of choice featured during the holidays is Wassail, a hot, spiced punch often associated with Christmas. It too was quite delicious and graced our second refillable mug most of our trip
Hot chocolate and Wassail in hand, we waited for the rope drop and headed for the park's featured Christmas show, "A Dickens' Christmas Carol", an original musical adaptation of the famous classic by Charles Dickens. We had great seats in the crowded Opera House Theater and sat in warm comfort for about 30 minutes awaiting the first performance of the day.
SDC does a great job with the shows they feature. Quite often I have been very impressed with the quality of the actors, script writers, band members, and overall direction of each show. I am curious how the park is passed over every year on Amusement Today's voting for best shows. I understand Dollywood's place at the top the heap, but I must admit I would really like to go to Six Flags Fiesta Texas some time and see what all the fuss is about. I can scarcely imagine a better collection of shows at any Six Flags theme park than those featured at SDC.
Despite my high expectations, I was very impressed with just how wonderful "A Dickens' Christmas Carol" turned out to be. It was quite possibly the best hour I have ever spent at a show in any theme park. We are talking Broadway quality production here, folks... a show that is honestly worth the price of park admission. I am not a professional critic by any means, but I can find no fault with this musical production, only the highest praise possible. It was simply amazing. Funny, heart warming, life affirming, and jaw-droppingly well imagined, SDC's signature Christmas show is a not to be missed event.
After a tremendous standing ovation and extended curtain call, we headed out of the theater with glad tidings of good cheer on our hearts! We then rode one of the few rides we visited on this trip, Fire-In-The-Hole, a classic dark ride that never gets old. Even this attraction was decked out for the holidays which added some nice touches to the narrative.
We then visited the Silver Dollar Saloon to see "Frontier Fa-La-La Follies" a Christmas infused vaudeville style show with singing, dancing, and broad, pie-in-your-face comedy. If you visit the park on a regular basis, the Saloon show is worth an occasional visit, but is not a must do on every trip. However, the Christmas version of the show is exemplary and something I highly recommend. The cast is surprisingly good and the mixture of big laughs with sentimental good cheer is unmatched.
Next up we took a tour of the Marvel Cave, which is included with your park admission. These cave tours depart approximately every hour and last 60 minutes, with most of that time spent traversing nearly 600 stairs. A trained cave guide hosts the journey and provides visitors with anecdotes of historical or geological importance. A cable train takes cave visitors up the half mile, 1070-foot climb back to the surface once the tour is complete. Interestingly enough, I have taken this tour four times this year, and each time I have learned something new. Additionally, the beautiful Cathedral Room (one of the largest cave entrance rooms in the United States) was fully decked out with Christmas lights that formed a gigantic Christmas tree when viewed from the floor of the chamber. It was a breathtaking illumination to say the least.
After visiting the Cave it was time for lunch (one should never eat a full meal before embarking on the Marvel Cave tour, I assure you!). We ate a Christmas buffet at Reunion Hall, a restaurant near the front of the park. The food was hot, good, and the service was fantastic. I am not a big fan of buffets, but on this occasion, I was quite pleased with the results.
Bellies full and temperatures dropping, we headed out to ride Thunderation, the park's oldest roller coaster and the only real thrill ride still open in 33 degree weather. This Arrow mine train is a very fun family attraction, but with biting winds the only option was to ride in the backwards facing seats to keep the chill wind off our faces. We had a blast, and since we were the only visitors stupid enough to ride an outdoor coaster in the frigid cold, we were able to ride about four times in a row before the chill was too much to take. The ride closed down shortly after our last ride, as the temperature dropped below freezing.
A quick visit to the Flooded Mine, an indoor shooter like Buzz Lightyear on-a-budget, helped take the chill out of our bones and prepped us for the Main Street festivities set to begin at 5:30.
In the center of Main Street, overshadowing the Gazebo Stage, is a 5-story tall Christmas tree completely decked out with decorations and lights. At 5:30 each operating night during the holiday season the tree comes to life with a synchronized light and music production. The dancing lights of the tree are quite impressive alone, but when they are combined with rest of the Main Street lights, a veritable feast of sights and sounds envelops the crowd. Again, I am not sure I have seen anything quite as impressive at a theme park outside of Disney. Once the show is complete, the entire park is awash in over 4 million lights dancing and sparkling in the darkness.
About fifteen minutes later the "Gift of Christmas Holiday Light Parade" works its way through the park. About a dozen floats travel slowly past featuring notable Christmas favorites like Santa, Frosty, and the like. The parade ends fittingly for this very Christian-oriented park with a float featuring the Nativity scene. Emblazoned in over 100,000 lights, the parade is short but imminently entertaining.
After the parade we headed up to the Grand Exposition area to see "The Living Nativity" (a 15-minute musical recounting of the birth of Christ) at the Red Gold Heritage Hall. The show is well presented and well acted, however the flat seating arrangement makes it tough for anyone not seated in the front row to witness all the action. It was a good show, but not a must visit.
Finally, we headed over to the Frisco Sing-Along Steam Train. Normally, this train attraction provides a 20-minute ride through the Ozark countryside. Midway through the excursion (while the train builds up steam for the last leg of the trip) train robbers briefly interrupt your ride with some mildly amusing antics. The Christmas version of the ride replaces the train robber scene with a grandfatherly story about the true meaning of Christmas. Furthermore, the entire route is decked out with Christmas lights and decorations, and you are encouraged to participate in a Christmas Carol sing-along during the ride. It was a wonderful excursion, with beautiful tunnels of Christmas lights, fun songs, and a warm presentation of the Christmas Story. The trip was the perfect exclamation point for a great park visit.
Overall, "An Old Time Christmas" at Silver Dollar City is an amazing experience. If you are the kind of theme park visitor who is mostly interested in g-forces and 200 foot drops, this event is probably not for you. However, if you enjoy a strong narrative theme, beautiful decorations, delicious food, and overt sentimentality, then by all means make plans to visit SDC at your earliest convenience. Honestly, the Herschend family does a phenomenal job with this park year round, but their presentation at Christmas is nothing short of astonishing.

Wow, Robert! If I'd known you were gonna put me on the front page I would have provided more pictures that showed off the park lights...and at least one photo of me guzzling down a mug of piping hot chocolate!
Thanks for posting my report...and once again, thanks for providing an avenue for my theme park addiction! =)
From Jeff Carroll on December 7, 2009 at 9:36 PM
James, What a great review. As a frequent Silver Dollar City visitor I share your enthusiasm for this park at any time of year. Even minus the big thrill rides like Powder Keg and Wildfire, Silver Dollar City still finds a way to deliver a great family entertainment value. I have never left this park feeling like I have not gotten my money's worth. It comes down to the fact that the management of this park just gets it. Unlike most parks they are just not satisfied with good enough. We are so fortunate to have this park just a few hours away. I only wish that Worlds of Fun would do more to inspire the kind of loyalty and strong feelings from it's visitors that Silver Dollar City has earned.
From Anthony Murphy on December 7, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Great job!
Actually suprised the park is open that late in the year. Don't they know its cooollld!
Decorating the park is something I do wish SFGA would do and I bet people would come, but perhaps because there is nothing indoors really.
From James Rao on December 8, 2009 at 3:13 AM
Thanks, Jeff. And I agree with you: SDC is definitely the best park in the state!
And Anthony, the funny thing is that if we had traveled to SDC one week earlier, we would have been able to be part of the same Christmas Festival, but we would have experienced it in almost 60 degree weather! You just never know what it is going to be like in Missouri these days! ;)
From 22.214.171.124 on December 8, 2009 at 8:09 AM
My family went this past Saturday to SDC as well and had a wonderful time. The temp was in the 40's so we got to ride Wildfire and Powder Keg. It was our first time seeing the Christmas Carol production and I totally agree with your review - what a show!
I was suprised at how crowded the park was, but we were able to maneuver around the park ok.
I agree, SDC is so well themed for Christmas (or anytime of year) if you are anywhere in the area, you have to check it out and you will not be disapointed.
From Betty Rohrer on December 8, 2009 at 6:58 PM
James,thanks for taking me back to SDC. were never able to try a trip at Christmastime. Too long of a drive and then the weather to get there from Pa. Maybe some day
From James Rao on December 10, 2009 at 6:12 PM
You are most welcome! Glad I could be of service. ;)

This large and very actively haunted cemetery is known for the ghostly weeping Greenwood Bride, and it's also home to many Confederate soldiers' spirits. The soldiers were prisoners in the Civil War, and died of yellow fever only to be cast into unmarked graves. The soldiers have been known to confront cemetery visitors. There are other spirits here too; ghost lights have been seen along the cemetery's southern border.

|Mélina Bec1Claire Lacour2
|This paper is concerned with adaptive kernel estimation of the Lévy density $N(x)$ for pure jump Lévy processes. The sample path is observed at $n$ discrete instants in the "high frequency" context ($ \Delta $ = $ \Delta_n $ tends to zero while $n \Delta_n $ tends to infinity). We construct a collection of kernel estimators of the function $g(x)=xN(x)$ and propose a method of local adaptive selection of the bandwidth. We provide an oracle inequality and a rate of convergence for the quadratic pointwise risk. This rate is proved to be the optimal minimax rate. We give examples and simulation results for processes fitting in our framework.

How To Prioritize Work on Dated Kitchen and Bath?
Good Questions
Q: My partner is buying his first house just a half mile from mine, and it's cute and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN (super well maintained). However, the kitchen and bathroom have traditional, almost country, honey oak dated cabinets.
We need help prioritizing what changes to make first/at the top of the budget... What on this list do you think deserves top priority? Or something we left off that is even more important?
Here's the plan so far:
- Kitchen window treatments will come down immediately. Replace with what - considering charcoal or white rolling screen-shades (think those chilewich shades).
- We will replace the brass hardware, probably with brushed nickel (or stainless) like the photo above.
- Consider replacing kitchen countertop with (sigh) updated formica.
- Stainless steel sink and faucet - or are the current ones not too offensive?
- If there is any money in the budget, purchase *counter-depth* stainless fridge (unlikely in the short term though so suggestions are welcome re: current appliances).
- Should we replace the kitchen light? With what - a nautical-ish pendant lamp? Trying to avoid the boob light!
In the bathroom I really have no idea. Live with it until he can replace the floor and vanity? Any suggestions in the meantime? P.S. You can't see the shower but it's 70s silver flecked white tile.

While the kitchen is bearable, I'd say the bathroom is the worse off of the two.
By the time you get to the bathroom, vintage pink will be either retro or in style. :-)
Both really aren't that bad (I'd like to send you pictures of my kitchen and baths!). We're in the same situation (both our k+b were last renovated in the 50's!) and we decided to go with the bathroom since its a far smaller project. We're acting as our own GC and thought redoing the BR would be a great opportunity to build relationships with the trades (tilers, plumbers, plasters, etc).
Best of luck!
Please tell me he'll let you paint the bathroom cabinets. If so, paint them white, new countertop, you can get standard countertops and sinks for cheap at any home reno store. New floor if you can. It won't be super expensive, I mean, a basic tile is what, $7 to $10/sf installed? Clearish shower curtain to let the light in from that window. Paint the over toilet cabinet white as well. You will like it sooo much better. If you can live with a hint of pink, keep the floor tile and do everything else a bit more luxe -- marble countertop, sparkly platinum fixtures. Retro girly!
Kitchen -- fight the good fight on painting those cabinets.
But yeah, get started on the bathroom first. Way easier project and if everything stays in the same place, way simpler.
I think first you need to consider why there are such restraints. I assume it's the cost, but you should consider whether this cost restraint is relatively permanent or just very temporary. In other words, is it worth replacing the old formica now with new formica (clearly, you don't like it) when you could wait and replace it with something you actually like months down the road? Are we talking about never being able to update the kitchen completely or just waiting a year?
If it's the latter, please don't replace the formica with more formica you hate. Just wait until you can save up for the surface you actually want. And do the same for the cabinets. If he won't paint them, you can look into refacing - but that will likely cost just as much as buying new ones. I would advise him to reconsider his decision to not paint the cabinets.
Top priority is to convince your partner to get new cabinet doors. Since the cabinet boxes are in great shape, replacing the doors with an updated style will make such a HUGE impact. Either that, or embrace a french country theme and make it work.
Nix the counter-depth fridge. Counter-depths are 6 inches wider than your standard depth fridge and they wont fit in that nook you got. Also, you can't install a stainless steel sink without replacing the countertops because the opening for the sink will be the wrong size.
we did the bathroom remodel first in our home, i'd definitely recommend bathroom first. for your kitchen you might want to consider getting new door fronts and keeping the base cabinets. You could have a carpenter cut wood to size and it would be a lot more affordable than demoing the whole thing.
We updated for under 4k and our for around 1k
I gasped when I saw this, because this looks like my house did when I moved in-except I also have a cobalt blue sink! The previous owner took their fridge with them, so I had to get a new one, but otherwise I did the same things you are suggesting with the kitchen- I immediately replaced the window treatments with dark grey solar shades and switched out the hardware to a style similar to the one you show above. I have to say, just that amount made me happy enough to leave the rest as is (including the sink) until now (3 years later). I used the rest of my time/money elsewhere. Good luck!
What is the source for that cabinet handle? It's lovely, and a friend and I are going shopping tomorrow to look for brushed stainless handles to update her almost identical honey oak cabinets.
After replacing the window coverings and hardware in the kitchen, I would concentrate on the bathroom. Take down the cabinet over the toilet and replace it with some open shelving and repaint the vanity perhaps a deep espresso color (okay, so chocolate and pink is one of my favorite color combinations). Somewhere down the line, you can have the kitchen cabinets refaced and a new countertop put it. For right now, it isn't too bad, although I might change the faucet.
If everything is clean and in good working order, just live with it for a while. Sure, take down the curtains if you don't like them, but take the time to figure out what the long term plan should be for the bathroom and kitchen, save the money, and do it properly. If you want to spend $100 now to swap out the knobs and handles, great, but I wouldn't bother doing anything else until you're really ready to do it. Remember, this isn't just about making it livable, it's about making the house more valuable, so don't throw good money after financially worthless upgrades (i.e. more Formica countertops.)
And don't wait too long! It's so sad to me when people update their homes to put them on the market--they could have been enjoying the improved stuff all along!
In my opinion, the kitchen is fine for now. Believe me, if you want to see dated, check out my early 70s golden varnished cabinets. He has a 90s kitchen but really, it's not really all that bad for now. If he'd let you paint the cabinets, that's all I'd do.
Have you thought about painting the countertops? Rustoleum makes a product for just that purpose. $20 is hardly a huge investment and is much cheaper than replacing it with more crap Formica. Personally, unless you're switching to a different material, I'd keep the Formica.
I wouldn't bother replacing the sink with a stainless one. Stainless sinks look very "contractor special" to me.
As for the bathroom, I know it's not environmentally friendly but Vinyl flooring might be your best option. It's cheap and very DIY. The same goes for vinyl tiles.
Are these short term or long term fixes. That is what you need to ask yourself. Do you plan on gutting these two rooms down the road? If so, make a plan and don't invest too much money into something that will be ripped out in 10 years.
That is great bathroom tile. Leave it and paint the walls a warm grey. Paint the cabinet white and you are done with the bathroom.
I wouldn't even bother putting new pulls on the kitchen cabinets right now. It might seem like a cheap fix but they do add up when you do that math. With that profile in the cabinet doors everyone will look at the cabinets and say, "nice replacement of the pulls".
Replacing the refrigerator is a good idea. The current model really makes your kitchen small.
I agree with others here who have recommended painting the bathroom cabinets white. When I moved into my new home a year ago, the bathroom was virtually identical to your picture. Painting the cabinets made the room look like a whole new space....very light and airy. I also replaced the shower curtain with something patterned against a white background; again, it just visually opened the whole space up for very little moolah.
Stain, stain, stain! Get a good gel stain and turn those cabinets into a dark stain! It maybe better for your partner than painting, and that 90's curve in the doors will be less noticable. Also, consider covering the lower cabinets in stainless sheeting.
You may also look into having the tiles in the bathroom reglazed instead of changing them. I have heard its afordable and as long as the tiles are in good shape, a nice white glaze would turn that into a classic pallet.
I think trying to update that kitchen with streamlined, "modern" accessories is fighting a losing battle against the style and color of those cabinet fronts.
I personally would paint the walls in the bathroom gray. It would work with the pink and also the tile in the shower. I don't have a problem with painting the cabinets in the bathroom. They would be painted a charcoal gray and then use charcoal and white towels. White accents, and a simple round or square flushmount ceiling fixture with nickle trim and white glass. I could live with that :)
At least get a quote for replacing the cabinet doors before deciding they are too costly. Those busy curved doors are making the kitchen look so fussy and small. Plain, flat doors would really help modernize and declutter.
If it really is too expensive, then I agree with the others here to paint, and if it were me, I would go for a medium tone taupe or gray, non glossy.
They sell laminate countertop paint, so why not try that first? Nothing flashy -- I think they key to painting kitchen surfaces is to keep the new color plain and neutral so it disguises a less than perfect paint job.
For the fridge, it is possible to get a counter depth fridge that fits into a smaller space - look at Fisher & Paykel Active Smart.
@Medusa12120, I agree about the bathroom tile. Keep it.
For the bathroom, get that hanging thing off the wall and put up a beautifully framed piece of art or printed poster. Paint the walls Abalone (Benjamin Moore) a pale gray with a hint of pink to it that will balance out the floor and countertop. Paint the vanity base a deep dark charcoal. White towels and a white shower curtain for freshness.
The very first thing that I would do is to paint the wooden cabinets white. This would completely change the appearance of the room. Maybe you can try to convince the owner. Anyway pink and white go well together. Another option is to buy foil for the cabinets, although it's a pity that this would hide the nice wood.
Its hard to be sure of the exact size of the kitchen but I think I'd add a new lighting fixture like this one:
Beyond that I'd get a new kitchen rug (o.co and home decorators have good cheap choices), and new curtains. Finally I'd switch out the hardware and leave it like that for a while. Eventually new doors (or painted doors) might be a great idea. I'd fix the kitchen first.
While the house needs some updating its still a lovely little place.
Definitely agree on painting the cabinets white.
Then, have you considered painting over your formica with a faux painting kit?
There are some worry-free kits over at Crystal Top Overlay. You can see the beautiful results that we get. Even if you wanted to transition to real granite on down the road, it would be a great move at this point, and it wouldn't cost much money.
The area is so small...I would lay a laminate floor over the tile...it will "man up" the floor and then a nice coat of a coffee bean color to the vanity and change out the hardware...the bathroom tiles will fit right in with that mid-century take. Do silver/chrome hardware and silver accents to go with the silver flecked tile. Plan on the laminate being a gimme. Later on when time and money permit take out the floor and replace for real.
I would leave the kitchen cabs alone including the hardware. Dark cabs suck the light right out of the room. The finish that is there is good. And the hardware is appropriate for the style of cabinet. The hardware you are suggesting doesn't complement but instead is too contemporary for your cab style. I would redo countertops, sink and faucet and paint the walls Benjamin Moore Atrium White. Like the roller shade plan. See Parnassus for the bath redo.
Forgot the lighting in the kitchen. You could install tape lighting under the upper cabs. Update the lighting over the sink with a pendant and then redo the overhead too. A smaller frig would also be welcome. Let the grocery store warehouse the food for you.
I don't think you should paint anything or replace the window shades & light until you've got all your colors picked out. Since you're probably not going to pick a custom countertop color (aside from the dozen or so standard choices) you should start there, and then paint or decorate to that. It'll be easier than trying to match the countertop to a window shade or paint color that you've already picked out. I always start with the item that has the fewest options.
We have those same dated cabinets and I have the same "won't paint wood" issue at my house.
One thing we did that helped a lot was to take off that frilly moulding along the top. You can probably knock it off gently (as in, it's likely not on there super tightly.) Be aware that it might leave glue or ridges of varathane aroudn the edges of the removed moulding. If it leaves lighter marks, you can sand with the grain, and to darken "dry" lighter oak if you expose it, try a moistened black tea tea-bag to stain it darker to the surrounding wood if need be. Use one of those waxy hole-filler crayons in a matching oak colour to fill any nail-holes. Once you've smoothed out the look and made it all match, a clear spray varathane or whatever will match the existing finish on the cabinets to help it blend in. We raised a microwave shelf this way to accommodate my kitchen aid mixer, as well as removed cheesy mouldings from the top (including a header board with a heart cutout that was over the sink window) and you'd never know it was done.
I would really think about painting the cabinets. If you paint them, you can even disguise the arch - like this http://manhattan-nest.com/2010/10/13/conquer-your-vanity/
I would leave things as they are for a bit. But I would put up some affordable bamboo blinds in the kitchen and bath, that alone will make you feel better. Getting a stainless frig will completely transforn the kitchen.
Monet's house at Giverny has traditional French country cabinets, but in such wonky color combinations (yellow, turquoise, etc.) that it feels artsy and fresh instead of Grandma. Maybe there's some inspiration there?
Another possibility for the kitchen is to do a Dorothy Draper black-and-white paint job on the cabinets -- i.e., paint them black, with the indented section in white. Swap out the flooring with black-and-white checkerboard linoleum, and it could all look glam.
Examples of the Dorothy Draper look:
I would say keep the kitchen cabinets as is. If you're bothered by the countertop, and don't want to paint- try contact paper. I put "Instant Granite" on top opf my old countertops and while it took a lot of patience, it looks much better than expected. And was about$100 for materials. Change the kitchen shade to something graphic to add color/interest. For the bathroom, I think a fresh coat of paint and replacing the cabinet with art would make a hug difference and getting a new shower curtain would make a huge difference.
Have you considered painting the backsplash?
Sorry but those handles are not going to improve those cabinets. They need to have the arches disguised like Fulinlin above commented.
Besides putting in a new counter (maybe Corian or cheapie Ikea butcher block, if he doesn't like laminate) and getting a new refrigerator (the old one looks pretty ancient, so you may just want to wait until it dies) I wouldn't touch either of these room- any light renovation that doesn't immediately improve the usability of the space is just money wasted when you renovate for real a few years from now. That kitchen looks eminently usable and the worst part of the bathroom looks like that ultra shallow tub.
My own take on it would to be put up some fun window treatments and fixtures, maybe a backsplash, paint the rooms some cool colors and then bide your time until you have the money to do it properly. I personally think you'll be MUCH happier when you don't have a bathroom with a cheapo new vanity and an ancient tub, or a kitchen with new floors and old cabinets.
You must consider this: SAVE THE PINK BATHROOMS
For the kitchen, stick with small changes until you can do a full well thought out reno. A new butcher block counter stained dark with a new sink would be an improvement. Check out Shades of Light for great, modern, reasonably priced flushmount ceiling lights. I agree that the pink tile in the bathroom would not be a problem if the walls were painted in a colour like gray and the cabinets were lightened up with white paint.
Some elements from this remodel might work http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2012/07/alma-project-kitchen-remodel/comment-page-1/
If you do get the rolling screenshades get them in the same color as the wall otherwise it will look like a big hole.
I would wait on the kitchen. There might be some really interesting things to do with the cabinets... I might consider a white-wash sort of thing on the cabinets. Whatever happens to the cabinets, since they seem like they will stay in some form...will lead you to whatever happens to the countertop.
As for the bathroom. I would ditch the vanity and cabinet completely. Get a white pedestal sink. That will help it feel less claustrophobic. Keep the floor tiles. I can't see the walls, but I do have a soft place in my heart for that flecked linoleum. (I did a retro kitchen with it). Find some shiny chrome things for the bathroom (shelves, handles) and let it shine. The floor will look like it belongs. But firs, ditch the sink. Its an easy install and not too expensive.
I would put can lighting in the kitchen, and then select a fixture for its decorative impact rather than its output. If you want to disguise the fridge, look for the smallest size you can find, and then see if the required opening will allow you to frame a wall where the exposed side now is. That bulk you see is very distracting. Other than that...don't do anything. Don't replace Formica with Formica. If your partner doesn't want to paint the wood, that's his call. Do things for functionality and enjoyment. You will be happier learning to live with it than thinking something like new hardware will really make a difference. Because it won't.
I'd say get a new floor for the kitchen, as it looks terrible with the cabinets. Also, I'd consider getting a different color refrigerator (maybe black? or stainless steel?). The kitchen cabinets are actually attractive, at least in the photo.
As for the bathroom, getting a new, colorful shower curtain would help the most for the least outlay of cash.
I'd address the bath first. It would not be expensive to replace the vanity entirely -- there are many reasonable options from Home Depot, Lowes, Ikea that would be better design choices and not break the bank. You could also lose the over-the-tank cupboard and install a nice mirror and light. The only possible snag here is the flooring. Does it go under the current vanity? That will dictate the size/shape/type of new vanity -- or expand the project to include new flooring which I'd avoid if I were the homeowner -- that floor is OK looking. Paint & shower curtain will complete the deal.
As for the kitchen, if you are going for a minor change with no plans for additional updates in the foreseeable future I think replacing the counter and sink are a good idea. You can choose a more attractive formica or really whatever you want. Personally with the oak cabinets I think darker would be better -- dark grey would look good with the floors. One fairly inexpensive option would be to tile the backsplash all the way up to the cabinets with something that adds sparkle like a glass mosaic tile and keep the counter dark and plain. I'd also replace the fridge with black or stainless, and look into options that will result in a better fit into the space. For the hardware, updating to nickel is a good idea but possibly choose a slightly traditional shape -- squared off, but with bevels perhaps -- so you are not fighting the cabinet design.
I think you can keep the changes pretty minimal and still end up with spaces you enjoy. I'm working with the same arched cabinet door look in my kitchen, and while I wouldn't choose it I think it is not a deal-killer.
Ok - it seems like you want a bandaid answer .... so here goes. For the kitchen, I agree with the roller shade in the window but would skip the hardware exchange. The straight lines of your chosen hardware will only accentuate the arches in the cabinets and the mix of styles would be disturbing; the quantity of hardware would cost a substantial amount to replace unless you use cheap hardware which defeats the purpose of replacing it; if you do purchase the "good" hardware believing you will reuse it after a complete reno ... think again, there's no guarantee you will have the correct pieces and finding a match in a few years will be tough. As for the countertop - well, I did see a Rustoleum Countertop coating at the HD. for 59 or 69 dollars you can make your countertops look like granite - this may be a quick fix to remove the pink. As for the bath, I saw a shower curtain at West Elm that was a horizontal charcoal and white stripe. Match your wall paint to the charcoal in the shower curtain ... dark charcoal towels and rug (the largest you can find) ... then stop. Really, make it liveable for now ... and save all the money you can for that dream reno down the road ...

Hundreds of Dartmouth College students and faculty gathered just off the Green Wednesday in a show of solidarity. Dartmouth Interim President Carol Folt told the crowd why classes were canceled.
"We believed our community hit a tipping point where festering wounds and years of calls for help needed to be addressed without further delay," Folt said.
Friday night, a group of protestors barged into a performance for newly accepted students. They repeatedly chanted "Dartmouth has a problem," highlighting issues of sexual assault, homophobia and racism on campus. The act of civil disobedience spiraled into something much more sinister; according to the college newspaper, anonymous calls on a campuswide online forum to assault, rape and even kill those involved in the protest. A report has been filed with Hanover Police. They are working to figure out who is behind the threats.
"I was really upset. I was hurt and upset," said Elise Smith, a senior.
Smith spoke at Wednesday's rally. She told the crowd that she has never come face to face with bigotry at the Big Green, but she says it does exist.
"These acts of intolerance, these acts of hate, whatever you want to call it are happening and they have happened and I am so proud of this institution for really taking a stand against it. You know, we have waited and this is our time," Smith said.
But others at the rally expressed a different view, calling out those who took part in the protest, saying it was their violence Friday, specifically the way they forced their way into the building, that led to the campus controversy. Others chose not to take part and simply watched from a distance.
Campus officials said expressing positions in a peaceful way was the goal. A series of events were planned throughout the day to replace classes.
"We want Dartmouth to be unique in the leadership role it takes tackling these challenges," said Justin Anderson, a spokesman for Dartmouth College.
Not everyone at Dartmouth agreed with the day's turn of events. In facts, some students said they were, in fact, planning to attend class, silently expressing their opinion and highlighting a divide that clearly exists on this campus.
College officials say they are gathering information and statements to see if there will be disciplinary action.

For me (5'6") the waders are the correct height. The legs are longer than what they need to be but manageable. The belt is useless since it goes around the butt, so I just took it off. And the shell holder is ok. However, these waders are incredibly warm!!! Will be interesting to see how they perform in the field.
The boots were the right size, but way way too small around the body area; Too short in the body area; Too long in the legs.
work great! can't wait for duck season
One of the best buys I ever made for my son he loves them and they are so warm. Thanks
I think the waders I ordered are defective. The belt is at the level of the buttocks not in the waist line. The boots are supposed to be size twelve and they look huge and are loose on my foot.Please enter your comments about this product here...

BARCELONA, Spain - A split second off the lead with the mighty Pyrenees looming, Lance Armstrong now gets to see what his rivals can throw at him.After mostly flat, wind-swept stages along the Mediterranean rim this week, the Tour de France enters mountainous terrain that has long belonged to climbers. Armstrong remained just a fraction behind overall leader Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland on Thursday after a treacherous, rain-soaked ride filled with crashes. Thor Hushovd of Norway led a mass sprint finish to capture the 113-mile sixth stage from Gerona to Barcelona. The field faces a 139-mile haul from Barcelona to Andorra today with a grueling uphill finish - the first and hardest of three days in the Pyrenees. 'Tomorrow is an important day,' Armstrong said. 'I don't know if it's the most important day, but it's definitely a big appointment on this Tour.' The seven-time champion said he was happy to emerge unscathed from Thursday's 'nervous' ride. Two spills marred the last six miles - one involving Yukiya Arashiro of Japan, another involving former world champion Tom Boonen of Belgium, one of Hushovd's sprinting rivals. Cancellara, a time trial specialist, acknowledges he's not the best climber and his six-day run in the front may soon end. 'What do I have to do (today)? It's a good question,' he said. 'It's been a beautiful week to be in this yellow jersey. ... I'm going to try to defend it but I don't know how well I can do.' Carlos Sastre, the 2008 Tour champion and one of the world's top climbers, clearly is on the radar screen of both Armstrong and Astana teammate and rival Alberto Contador. The 37-year-old Texan says the burden falls on riders like Sastre. 'I think the others will attack,' Armstrong said. 'We are in a position where we can wait and watch the others.' His Astana team is rich with talent, holding four of the top five spots behind Cancellara. Contador, the 2007 Tour champion and a world-class climber, is a close third, 19 seconds off the lead. During his long championship reign on the Tour, Armstrong always made his mark by the first big mountains - methodically gaining on competitors while keeping an eye over his rear wheel. Armstrong says the riders to watch are Andy Schleck, who is 1 minute, 41 seconds back; his brother and Saxo Bank teammate Frank Schleck, 2:17 behind; and Cervelo's Sastre, trailing by 2:44. 'I expect Carlos to make some accelerations,' Armstrong said. Such comments are surely part of a psychological game. The wild card is that Armstrong will also have to watch Contador, who was considered the favorite before the Tour began. 'I know Alberto wants to assert himself in the race. I don't need a team meeting to know that,' Armstrong said. 'If he goes and nobody can hang with him, I'll just stay with the other leaders,' he added. 'But I'll show up (this) morning, try to do my best, get to the top as quick as I can, and we'll see.' The mountains figure to play a bigger role in this Tour. Today's jaunt features the Serra Seca pass and a finish into Arcalis in Andorra that's so tough it's beyond classification in cycling's ranking system. The granddaddy stage comes the day before the July 26 finale in Paris, with an uphill finish on Mont Ventoux, one of cycling's most legendary climbs. So far in his comeback year after 31/2 years in retirement, Armstrong has proved he can hold his own in time trials, like the one on opening day in Monaco, and gain time in the flats. The biggest question is whether he still has the legs to climb. 'I feel good, I feel strong, recovering well, relaxed,' he said. 'It's been a while since I've ridden at the front of a big mountain stage, but I'll be ready.' AP Sports Writer Samuel Petrequin contributed to this report.

Katy's Mailbox
I really do feel like that creeper from Blue's Clues everytime I say the word "MAILBOX."
Childhood nightmares aside, here's this week's listener email.
My best friend's been dating this guy for about 6 months, and last week, she found a receipt from Victoria's Secret in his wallet. She figured he had just gotten her something from there for Valentine's Day. Well . . . Valentine's Day came and went, and no lingerie. He took her out to dinner and got her flowers and a necklace . . . but nothing from Victoria's Secret. Now she's not sure what to do. It COULD be something as simple and innocent as he originally got her something from there, but decided to return it and go with jewelry instead. OR it could be TOTALLY sinister and sneaky and the lingerie could be for his side action. Should she confront him about it?
No matter how you spin that – it doesn't sound very good. He either bought it for another woman *BAD* , bought it for a family member *WEIRD* , OR bought it for a friend who didn't want to go into Victoria's Secret *UNLIKELY*.
What do you make of this?!
My suggestion? Try this super sweet app that erases him from you life.

I like Huntsman's message, and I like his background. Seems like a smart guy who has a good feel for business and excellent diplomatic skills (one thing we could surely use is a good relationship with China).
That being said, he's far too wooden and bland to be a serious contender. A presidential candidate needs to be able to project a dynamic prescence, get people thrilled and excited, and have an electric personality. Huntsman doesn't have that.
Plus, he looks like this guy:

I followed this recipe exactly (except for cutting it down by 1/4 to make just 1 serving), and it's wonderful. The olive oil, salt, and oregano provide a burst of flavor that mixes well with the tomato's juiciness, the eggs provide texture, and the muffin grounds it all. I don't think I've ever eaten that much raw tomato and not minded. I almost forgot the olive oil and salt though, so be careful to follow all the steps. It also occurs to me that this is a completely balanced breakfast. If you boiled the egg the night before, it wouldn't be too hard to put together. I used the toaster oven for extra ease.
