The Process Begins

Stainless steel? Granite? Quartz? Bamboo? Cork?

Just a few of the decisions to make when remodeling a kitchen that last saw improvements in the 1940s.

Since 1986, many wonderful meals have been made in this inefficient workspace. First, by my late husband Richard and now by my Sweetie.

So why remodel? My Sweetie gets such pleasure out of cooking that I want him to have the best organized workspace possible.

We spent two hours this morning with a designer from a company that was highly recommended by friends. The company does not begin work at the house until all of the cabinetry, appliances, flooring, countertops, and lighting are on hand. Then a dedicated crew comes everyday until they are finished. He estimated 5 or 6 weeks to complete it.

I have heard of the horror stories of kitchens taking 6 months because the crew is working on several projects at once. It has been one of the reasons I have not been enthusiastic about having it done.

Now I am excited.
