New Kitchen

We have been working very hard deciding everything we are going to do for our kitchen remodel. Below you can see the door style for our new cabinets (oak, arched panels), the stain on our cabinets (chocolate with a mocha glaze), our Quartz counter tops (in a blue/grey/white color), and an example of the stone back splash we purchased on clearance (I can't find the exact stone because it's not on the website anymore). Seeing it all together makes me very excited and I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like!

On one hand it's great that we are able to do this while we aren't living in the house, but on the other hand it's going to be a lot of decision making on my own without having Jonathan in town. Luckily I will have the expertise of Marc and Annette to help guide through this stressful, expensive project. Marc is a great builder/carpenter and I know it will all turn out beautiful. I just wish Jonathan were here with us! To finish the remodel we are doing some heavy duty work. We have to replace the kitchen window to accommodate for our new cabinet design, install a pocket door leading to our laundry room to give us some more floor space, knock out our current pantry to make room for the new built in pantry, refinish the floors, install new lighting throughout the kitchen and dining room, paint the ceiling and two walls, and buy a new microwave and dishwasher. PHEW! I'm sure there's even more that I'm just not thinking of right now... it's just so overwhelming. Remodeling is like a second full time job! Too bad I can't devote as much time as I would like to... work is starting to pick up again and I need to be here throughout the week. I'll definitely be devoting all of my summer weekends to this huge project though. Poor Adam is going to have to live without a kitchen for at least a couple of months!
