Kitchen Remodel

Our kitchen isn't too bad.  The cabinets are pretty old and the paint is chipping.  The layout isn't very functional.  Not our style.  We've always known we would probably redo it at some point and since our adoption has taken longer, we are deciding to attack the job in the spring.  I'll have to do before and after pictures at that time.  Right now we are getting estimates - man it's expensive!  So we'll see how much I'll be able to get to do.

Here are some pictures of kitchen's l love (thank goodness for Pinterest, right?)

I love the look of a large farmhouse table in the middle a white kitchen, we'll do the same with the table Chris built.  We have 2 long benches right now with it and we'll keep a bench on one side and then have chairs - and I'm thinking white too!   Don't worry, the walls with be cream for a splash of color.  Ha!

We want to do white shaker style cabinets with white subway tile backsplash.  This style usually has carrera marble or black counter tops, I think we are going to try to find a carrera marble look alike.

We want a more rustic looking floor with color variation so you can't tell how dirty it is.  Other details I like - farmhouse sink, mudroom component since the main floor is one big room, a single drawer dishwasher with a cabinet drawer underneath for more space, and open cabinetry.  Ewww, and these lights over the table:

What do you think?  Am I dreaming?  We'll see as the money starts adding up...
