KITCHEN PROJECT

Got an email late yesterday that the new kitchen cabinets have arrived in the warehouse and need to be delivered. Then, Scott called to tell me that the new cabinets had arrived in St. Louis and he needed to stop by and get a deposit, the contract signed and to get us in the que for demolition and installation. As Eric keeps telling me, every one of these little steps move us one step closer to the finished kitchen that we have wanted for years.

This project had ended up costing us three times the amount of the original estimate. In fairness, this is not because of the vendors. It is because Eric and I kept adding on seemingly little things that we really wanted. But, we have saved for this project for years, and in the end we will have all that counter space, the appliances we have wanted for years, enough electrical sockets--finally, lots of under cabinet lighting, and all the other stuff we have dreamed and planned for over the years. And, I bought a gorgeous sink, classically simple cabinet handles and knobs, and a beautiful gooseneck faucet that will allow us to fill large stock pots with needed water. And, the countertop will just be simply gorgeous. Can't wait to post pictures. Plus, we both will love the new tile backsplash and that fancy molding around all of the wall cabinets. Can't wait to post pictures. Just wish we could move it all along a bit faster.

I am currently waiting for Scott to show up, pick up his signed contract & check, and put us on the list for demolition. Just wish he would hurry up and get here so I can get on with my day.
