After all these long years, I am getting a kitchen!
We got a few quotes on various designs, and then we went to the place I had dreamed of (but had assumed was too expensive). They came in with a quote that was better than most, using far better materials with a far better design. Sold.
The lady came in to take measurements, took one look at it, and commented "Oh my, you really have been making do!" (true enough!)
We have zero usable countertop space, and storage is always a problem.
The lady then commented "Well, I assume you have not won any cooking competitions in here!" My lovely wife quickly corrected her. We have both won cooking competitions, but she admitted that I was the better cook.
She got the picture that we can both cook, that we like to cook, but we need a better place to do it. That's exactly what she designed for us.
Now it's only a simple matter of procuring the bank loan, tearing everything out, having new stuff made, installing it, dealing with problems as they arise, living in a construction zone, and ordering a lot of take-out. What could possibly go wrong?
