So this is our big Spring project, a kitchen remodel. Went by an appliance place we hadn't gone to before in the area, and I guess it was a successful visit because it changed our minds (maybe) on everything we thought we had settled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To a degree we're suffering from option paralysis in the various design aspects of the kitchen. \u00a0We already know what we're doing physically (gutting what we have, pushing out ten feet east, to have a specific layout we've decided on), but the particulars of filling that in — cabinets (and hardware), counters, floor, paint, backsplash, not to mention appliances from fridge to drink fridge to range to ovens to dishwasher — are still way up in the air.<\/p>\n

The basic parameters are that this will be our Forever Kitchen — do what we want, no regrets, live with it until we can't live in the house any more. \u00a0Price is an object to the extent that we don't want to waste money, but my goal is to not<\/i> be kicking ourselves over not getting a particular upgrade, design item, etc. \u00a0It's already a massively expensive project, just from the construction, so the rest becomes more a matter of selection as to what will work best for us, and that we'll love.<\/p>\n

Margie's on all the appliances (with consultation\/compliance, but it's mostly on her), except the dishwasher, which I get to choose, and the fridge, which is mostly mutual consent (french doors, water dispenser that has crushed ice, counter depth). \u00a0She thought she had figured out what she wanted, but this particular visit threw some significant new options into her viewfinder.<\/p>\n

We've decided on the cabinet styles, but that's it. \u00a0Every discussion of countertops, or flooring, or backsplash becomes so interlinked that it's hard to take a step forward. \u00a0So … working on that.<\/p>\n

Time isn't of the essence — yet. \u00a0We're still dealing with architect and engineers (structural and geotechnical, since we're expanding the house). We're planning on breaking ground in the spring, though, and I'd love<\/i> to have some of this figured out by then …\ufeff<\/div>\n
