Good choice! I can't wait to see your new kitchen. I don't take photos in my apartment unless it's a tiny nook somewhere. It's too dark & impossible to get good photos. I dream of having a light-filled photo worthy house someday. :)kalanicuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853050797830829201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-65562993221917556282012-05-31T06:17:15.953-07:002012-05-31T06:17:15.953-07:00Sometimes you just have to gut it.

And there shouldn't be spaces between your stove and the cabinets where food, liquids, and all kinds of other gunk can run & hide? And there's not supposed to be 8 foot long cracks in your ceilings? And backsplashes should be smooth? Oh boy, I'm going to have to have a chat with my kitchen about all the lies it has been feeding me.casacaudillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737547597204258314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-55400598455802412982012-05-30T18:02:39.039-07:002012-05-30T18:02:39.039-07:00Oh the good, the bad, and the ugly - you left out ...Oh the good, the bad, and the ugly - you left out that sweet fluorescent light above the stove :) We had a similar issue with the length of our cabinets compared to the counters and didn't realize it until the contractor came in and told us that they were too low and now it's so much better. Mmmm..my biggest gripe is that we didn't put the microwave anywhere - it's still sitting on our counter. Thankfully we have a lot of counter space so it's okay but it's still annoying. I'm also really tired of the paint color in the kitchen. It was just chosen at the time and not really a lot of thought was put in to okay, consider the floors, the counters, the cabinets, etc. Basically the wall color matches the floors and it's not pretty - not pretty at all. Hence the reason I'm itching to paint the entire first floor. (Can we say longest comment ever? Wow, sorry about that :)Holly Gruszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562245870313515897noreply@blogger.com
