Saturday was the perfect day, my kitchen remodel was FINALLY finished. Was it worth it? Heck yes! Would I want to do it again? Heck no! I don’t know how people survive building new houses! It took me a year to design and figure out what appliances I wanted. The remodeling began in May and what a transformation. The planning […]
Things are moving along with our kitchen remodel but much slower now. My contractor has been on another job that he already had scheduled. Due to our kitchen cabinet replacements taking an additional 5 weeks, it is taking longer than expected to finish. He was able to come all weekend and he made progress on the tedious molding work. The […]
What a productive week this has been now that the replacement cabinets are all here! All of the gray cabinets are the same color but the shadows make them look a different color of gray, especially the little panty by the door. I left the lights off so you could see the hand blown glass design. With the lights on […]
Did you hear me yelling with excitement on Monday? My replacement cabinets came and they were bubble wrapped and perfect! They should have used bubble wrap the first time. In the picture above and below you can see where the contractor installed all of the upper cabinets. The island is ready for the granite to be installed on Tuesday. I […]
One thing about the refrigerator, it’s gigantic! 6” deeper than the normal size. What does this mean? Well the contractor needs to move the island 6” further away from the refrigerator and then level the island again, I swear, nothing bothers this man. Our entire house has had dark molding and doors, but not anymore. He still has all of […]
Today is a sad day! We had to disconnect my gas range because the countertop installers were coming the next day. I think I will survive two days without it but I don’t want to, I sure do love that range! We crammed it in with everything else but in front of our basement door, we can still squeeze through […]
Our contractor completed the kitchen floor installation and installed the base cabinets! The countertop company used the laser and made the templates this week. I asked if they can install the granite on the island next month since we have to wait for the replacement cabinets and they agreed. Do you see that nice shiny gas range along the back […]
Sneak Peek of our new granite countertops Did you know that you can go to a countertop distributor and pick out the exact granite, marble, quartz or quartzite slabs for your new counters? We had no idea until I couldn’t find a quartz slab in town that I loved. They suggested I look on line at a distributor and they […]
All I thought about when the cabinets were delivered was where in the world is all this stuff going to go in my small kitchen? There is still a huge cabinet in the garage plus all the appliances. The cabinets are all custom made with so many fun features that I have never had before. Our old kitchen was put […]
I will hold off on my before picture until the kitchen is finished so you can appreciate the difference when it is complete. Gone is the 70’s and coming is a brand new modern kitchen. We had to make a decision to hire a company with people we didn’t know or hire a friend that has been in the construction […]
