I met with the cabinet designer today and saw a mock-up of his ideal design. Its fabulous, and within my budget. How on earth did that happen? He needed a couple measurements to give me an exact price on the counter tops, and when his bid is written up I'll go back to cement the details. I picked out real wood cabinets, painted white to coordinate with the built-ins in the living room, and I'm leaning towards Corian counter tops that look like beach sand with a fused-in Corian sink. No more white that shows every crumb and the pale sand color will look good with my new floors.
I also went in to the flooring place and got an invoice for the materials for my hardwood floors. Its fabulous and the wood is on sale so its within my budget. How on earth did that happen? I picked out a carbonized woven bamboo. Its purrrdy.
So, once the final details of the cabinets are picked out and they can be ordered, it will be 6-8 weeks for construction. In the mean time, I have to get the old tile out, take down the old crown molding over the remaining cabinets and prep and paint the walls and ceiling so its all done before they hang the new cabinets.
