It's been quiet on the blog. Sorry! It seems like life is just crazy right now. Well that, and multiple not-fun house issues have happened this past week. As in, calling multiple different professionals in ($$$$). Grr. Anyways, on the positive side of things, I think we have a more concrete plan on the happenings with our kitchen. #imsoexcited We've made some kitchen progress and have the other bunkhead down. Yay! So, I thought I would fill you in on where we are at. And then don't expect another update until... hmm... how about August?! lol.
So, when we took down the bunkhead around the main kitchen work area, we left it over the stove and the fridge.
We knew that we wanted to take it down, but there's a light in that one and we didn't want to move any electrical until we knew what we wanted to do. We've slowly been making decisions around the design for this section of the kitchen and had come to this...
Basically, get rid of everything with "X's" and move everything with arrows.
We started that process and I'm always amazed how it goes from bad to worse before it gets better.
We decided that if we were custom-building cabinets that we wanted to do it for the longterm, so we splurged on new appliances.
We are going to take the next few weeks and firm up the design plan, but I'll be back soon with details.
I kept thinking in your instagram post, that stove looks different....LOL - love the new appliances! Interested to see what you have in store.
We *might* have splurged a bit. Lol. =)
Swanky appliances! Progress is looking good!
Thanks Corinna! We still have so much to do, but baby steps are getting us there!
New appliances get me excited, especially the stoves with now back. Why do they have to be so much more expensive?
I have no idea!! I told Luke that I wanted a double oven and he could pick the rest. The no back options are really pretty though.
Stumbled on your blog from another... I just wanted to suggest Barker cabinets. My husband is handy and we planned on building our own, but we found the pricing to be pretty good through Barker. We have recuebed some and started rebuilding our kitchen and are really happy with them. Not a scammer, just thought I'd share! We have that stove in gas and love it. Good luck!
I just checked them out! They do seem to be a pretty good deal!
So, looking for how to solve wires angled through the soffits (a surprise, but should not have been) came across your blog. How did you deal with the wiring, or was it time to call the electrician? I know this is an older post, but hopefully will hear from you. - thanks!
Hi Allen. Glad you found the post. Wires where you need drywall to be is not a nice surprise. There are ways you can reroute the wires DIY, but, depending on your situation, it might be more trouble than it's worth. We called an electrician for ours. It was under $200 which seemed well worth it.
Thanks!
