Project At Long Last

I can't believe it's been 9 months since we moved into our place.

And 9 months without a major house project (I won't count any of the work we put into the place before moving in.) But the kitchen sink has gotten to me at long last and I think we're going to start our kitchen project very soon. It will be relatively simple, as far as kitchen projects go. We're just painting the cabinets and having the countertop and sink replaced.

But when you go into Home Depot, it's never that simple. Because then you think, "well, if we're going to all this trouble to replace the counter tops, we don't want the cabinets to look awful... should we replace them too?" and the Home Depot team is very helpful in suggesting all sorts of possibilities up to and including a personal in home designer who will come for a mere $100 to look at you place and suggest the perfect configuration of cabinets to best suit your personal needs.

Except that all we want is a new counter top and a new sink. And now I have 8 brochures from 4 different cabinet places. How did that happen?

I'm excited to get started on the pulling down of cabinet doors and the cleaning / priming of shelves.
