Summer, 2008 - We Finally Have a Plan

After a year of researching kitchen makeovers, we have decided that painting the existing cabinets and adding a few more to the present layout is the perfect solution. This idea of a "face-lift" is more economical, it does not waste the existing cabinets, and it will be less disruptive to our family. I have to thank a fellow ebayer for posting some pictures of her kitchen on a discussion board. Thanks mvpp5!

It really convinced me that we were making a great decision. I say that now....wait until we are in the middle of the project and I might change my mind.

One reason we are able to do this is because we have wood floor under the existing cabinets - which means we can move some things around to make room for a bigger island, etc without having to redo flooring. Thanks Mark for helping take apart the island! It was hard work figuring out whether or not there was oak under there.
