What a Productive, Exciting Day

Yet another Mike has entered our lives due to the kitchen remodel. This one is from Swiss Woodcraft, the cabinet shop. As Bob described him, he is the one who takes the precise measurements. Contractor Mike also came at the same time which proved to be a boon since there were several discussions between them about the quirks of our old house and how to deal with them.

I thought that Cabinet Mike was just going to measure but no, he came with cabinet fronts in the three styles we had told Bob we liked, two pieces of wood with two shades of white finish, the whole display of the small quartz samples, and a comprehensive catalog of hardware.

We selected Pure White rather than Wedding White, more ivory than we liked, for the cabinets. The quartz for the countertops will be Flint Black and our buffet will have Waverton, reminiscent of marble, added to its top. This will become the home of my Sweetie’s Keurig and also a higher work surface for my tall guy.

I surprised him by being very decisive. No analysis paralysis today but, as I pointed out to him later, I had done all the research so I knew what I wanted. Fortunately, our tastes are the same - at least as far as kitchens and bathrooms are concerned.

Tomorrow we are off to look at refrigerators and dishwashers since Cabinet Mike needs the specs. We do not want to delay the construction of the cabinets at all.
