After a half dozen or more meetings, numerous phone calls, and emails flying back and forth with three contractors, we decided to sign with Mike Foster. (Yes, Kiki, the worried one).
At our first meeting with him, I asked him if they have done small jobs. I was reassured that he had done all sizes. I guess photos of a smaller kitchen don’t have the greatest visual impact on the net. Tho I could see before-and-afters being of interest to customers. And yes, my loyal followers, I will be posting photos every step of the way.
We have the most amazing cabinet shop, Swiss Wood Craft. It is in Rittman, just a little over an hour away. The man who does the precise measurements will be coming up next week. Will he be Amish or English?
We also decided on Cambria quartz for the countertops. We are definitely looking forward to a no-maintenance stone. How can one not fall in love with it when this is the care and feeding of it:
CAMBRIA PRODUCT CARE & MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Maintaining Cambria is easy. Simply wash with a soft cotton cloth and warm water; use a mild soap if desired.
Yep, no sealing. No worries about spilling red wine on it.
So now we have to shop, shop, shop. Most of you know how I hate shopping. But I can get behind this kind.
In 45 days or less from August 23, barring horrors hidden in the walls or floor, we will be enjoying our new kitchen.
