I thought this day would never come--we have a start date for the kitchen! Yay! I'm so relieved. It's taken us so long to get to this point, but we met with our carpenter and September 5th is the day. Soon the dream kitchen will be a reality and not some distant figment of our imagination. That also means that we will be moving in soon. FINALLY. I am almost afraid to believe it because so many things have gone wrong. It's looking like we will be moving in by the end of October.
We're making good use of our weekend by getting some things accomplished. A new slab of Valley White granite has been shipped from India and we went to the store to approve the selection. We got a sample of the slab so we can match up paint colors and decide on a backsplash. We chose a stainless D-shaped sink and are considering two different edge profile upgrades. Although the rarer granite itself that we chose wasn't as expensive as I originally thought, the upgrades are much more spendy than I thought so we will have to weigh our decision carefully. I want to be budget conscious, but I also do not want to regret any shortcuts we take.
We have selected paint tones for the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. We still have to purchase small sample cans of paint to make the final decision. I've been scouring Ebay for good deals on lighting. I'm bidding on a vintage chandelier from the 1920s that would be perfect in our house of the same age. I really hope I win the auction because the piece is so unique; I've never seen anything like this.
