Kitchen Remodel Part 2

So, the holidays came and went and yet our kitchen is still not done. However, the cabinets are re-painted, all of the cabinet doors have been put back together, and our new cabinet hardware has been installed. The cabinets look so much better - it's truly amazing what a coat (or two or three!) can do to cabinets. Of course, every remodel project isn't complete without it's share of drama. We ordered Formica countertops not once or twice, but three times now! The first two times they came delivered damaged. Let's hope "third time's a charm"! It's very difficult to cook in a kitchen without countertops. It's messy and hard to use a surface you can't wipe clean. I've been searching for very inexpensive subway tile for the backsplash, and have yet to find super good deals. I almost found it at this local second use store in Seattle, but they were 20 square feet shy of what we needed -- arghhh!! They also had some Ann Sacks tile I really wanted, but again, not enough and probably would have been more expensive to buy the remaining pieces we needed.


I'm feeling hopeful, however. Perhaps another two weeks and we'll be there. Cross your fingers and stay tuned for more updates.
