The House!

I can’t even explain how slowly things are moving along. It just seems like we take 3 steps forward and 1 back. Nothing is getting done as fast as what I would like and we waited too long to order our appliances so they won’t be here for a while either. The kitchen is the main concern right now. We need to demo the existing kitchen tomorrow and possibly put in the tile. We orderedGE Profile appliances because Rob got a Boeing discount, we also got a deal on tile at Lowes, we also are getting a Hi-Macs countertop , which I guess is an affordable solid surface countertop. The deal included an integrated sink. We should ger it in 2 weeks.

A U shape kitchen is very hard to plan, it’s not like a galley which is really easy. We have fought and fought over what to do about the kitchen. The biggest problem is the lead time that the cabinet makers need to get the cabinets done… it’s too long and we don’t want to wait that long. In our condo we used Ikea because they were cheap and available. To our surprise they were nice too, sometimes Ikea is hit and miss, so you have to be careful. I think we will try Ikea again and here is a link to the style we are getting. So with the dark cabinets, we ordered light countertop, white sink, stainless appliances, light tile backsplash and light tile floors. I hope it works because it’s kind of nerve wracking!

Here a bunch of pictures of the cabinets we want, the house as it is right now with the paint and stuff and also the tile that we bought. The little square on top is the sample countertop.
