Remodel

The choice has been made: We are remodeling the kitchen! No turning back now - appliances have been ordered. Now all our appliances will match! I find it strange that the previous owner of our house was one of the architects for the home builder, yet he didn't choose to have matching stuff. Weird. The new ones should ship next week and so we have about a week & a half to get some other stuff done. We have a LOT to do: talk to the countertop guy - do we granite or do we quartz?, choose paint & hardware, backsplash, get new sink fixtures...the list goes on. Neither of us are super thrilled with our island. It has great storage & workspace, but it takes up a lot of room in our narrow kitchen and we usually end up piling things on top of it. We'd like to replace it, but I don't want to lose the storage and there are other technical considerations also (it has electricity & gas in it). So that may have to be tackled at a later date. We will be changing out our kitchen flooring later also, at the end of the year when we get the carpet. For now the generic blah tile will have to stay (again, architect choosing blah things??? - this is why Aaron says they'll give anyone a degree in architecture from A & M). I'll post a before picture soon - as soon as I have cleaned my kitchen and there isn't a sink full of soaking dirty sippies. ;)
