Kitchen Design 101

So we moved into our house in late August of 2009. We bought from the original owners who built the house in 1969. The kitchen definitely lived in the 70s. With beanette on the way we figure we better do this now or it won't happen until she graduates. We had a lot of other house work done in April of this year, but we put off the kitchen with scott's school expenses and figuring out this whole "how much will a baby cost" thing. We still haven't found out the second one, but decided we needed the kitchen remodel to happen...quickly. I guess this blog will become a baby/kitchen remodel blog.

We finally bought cabinets yesterday. Here is the new design.




Very exciting! Isn't it lovely? A special thanks to Robin for all your advice. (Robin is one of the top kitchen designers in Atlanta. She designs the most beautiful high-end kitchens and just won this big award. I can't afford her cabinets, but she's the best!)

Now onto kitchen appliances, which we think we decided on GE Monogram. We did buy a Samsung fridge this weekend, 20% off makes this bargain shopper happy =)

We also primed the nursery last week. We finished up Saturday. I'll be sure to post the "blank slate" pic then show you what we end up doing for the painting. I'm going to try stripes. If it looks bad, we'll paint over them =)
