It begins
Pete & I have been planning to remodel our kitchen ever since we moved in six years ago. The place is 30+ yrs old and was built in the housing boom when plenty of folks decided to move to California. So the cabinets were thrown together – nails protude from either side of the shelves inside of the cabinets, the dishwasher is going, the stove is going, and as an additional insult, there’s lovely 70’s wallpaper on the kitchen walls, ceiling, and door to the washroom. There’s also four different types of flooring in about an 800 sq foot space – spanish tile for the entryway & bathroom, fake wood for the living room, carpet for the dining room (?!?) and a different tile in the kitchen/washroom.
We met with a designer to look over cabinets, discuss layout, ponder functionality. We tramped the showroom floor for an hour and a half reviewing counters, wood type and space saving ideas. Our first floor was measured. Now we’re also doing the bathroom.
Our designer took a week off to get her daughter settled into college. Then she had jury duty. Now her mother-in-law has passed away. We’ll wait on the kitchen design, but we have the quote for the flooring. I’m looking into a home line of credit.
And so it begins.

余艾蕾 and I plan on putting putting in a new kitchen when our house fixed. It too wax nostalgia of The Brady Bunch. We plan an swapping the office and the kitchen so we can have an area for the three of us to sit. The old kitchen only had room for two.

Well, if you’re both remodeling, I need to tell you about my brilliant idea for a sink…you get one of the hospital sinks, that you operate with your feet. No more chickeny hands all over the faucet. So much simpler. You can have a faucet as well, but for the nasty stuff, it’s all about your feet. I LOVE that idea.
