Remodeling our kitchen, my brain and...


ALSO remodeling the family check book! (Hear hubbie groaning.) Now I need a few things more, besides all the new yummy lighting, plugs, new granite, sink, faucets, globbeta-gloppeta machine, new paint to replace old wallpaper. New pots, don't you think? New dish towels. Maybe new kitchen window shades and--
Wait, wait, says hubby. What do you need all that for?
Dunno, babe. Just in the mood. SEEMS right, donchaknow.
The above? Old kitchen.
Soon? New kitchen. We've been torn up here for--oh, shoot me, please--over 4 weeks!!!
Happy they are nearly done.
Why redo the place? Well, I spend most of my day in my office, approx. 8 hours. In the kitchen? 2-4 hours. I love to cook. It is my Decompression. Relaxation. And since I have promised for years now to close up my office at 5, 6 at the latest and come downstairs to share cocktail hour and create dinner, I figured after 15 years, it was time to spruce up the place. And hubbie has gotten himself a new super-duper wine cooler because he is my sommelier and my assistant chef and washes all the dishes, too.
Stay tuned for finished pix of new place to enjoy!

I love remodeling. I don't like it while it's happening, but I love the end results. :)
Can't wait to see the "after" pictures.

Yes, this was a necessary mess. Don't want to do any of it again too soon. But I love the results.

I'm jealous, too. You're kitchen is laid out perfectly....at least it would be for my family. We have a small kitchen and the chef (hubby) grumbles all the time.

Can't wait to see the updated look

Oh, since hubby cooks, I clean.
