Finally...

We've been working on remodeling our kitchen for the past few months. Today we finally took the plunge and ordered brand new maple cabinets & beautiful quartz countertops.

In 5-6 weeks we'll have a brand new island (complete with dishwasher), brand new sink/faucet, new over-the-range microwave, new tile floors and a new wine refrigerator. Due to the ridiculous prices of cabinetry/countertops, we were unable to purchase enough cabinets for the entire kitchen, but have purchased the majority. We should have the rest of them by the beginning of the year. I hate going in to debt, and this is all I felt comfortable taking on at this time. I don't want to deplete our savings too much...especially since you never know what's going to happen right now. After these are in, we'll only have 1 wall of base & wall cabinets to replace, which, if all goes well, we'll have in by next Spring. We'll just have to live with a little mis-matching for a bit. It was either that, or wait until next year to do it all. And, since we don't have a dishwasher at this time, we didn't really want to wait. The colors of the cabinets are very similar, and after looking over MANY designs, it seems like mismatching styles/colors in kitchens is very popular. So, while I don't particularly care for that style, it may appear as if we'd done this on purpose.

Anywho...enough of my rambling. What do you think of the cabinets & countertops we chose? Aren't they purdy????
