In the last 3 years I've done major upgrades like beautiful teak wood floors upstairs and all travertine-look porcelain tile downstairs, new master bathroom that I adore, mahogany doors some new windows lots of paint inside and out.
But I still have to complete the guest bathroom, and replace my now 20 year old kitchen. Can't wait to get rid of whitewashed cabinets and have something like soft toned cherry or teak, with lots of big lower drawers instead of doors w/pullouts, and granite counters instead of tile, all new appliances too. I just have to be brave and be ready to have the entire kitchen ripped out for a month or two. Argg, the thought of the mess and having contractors here (while living here with 3 pups) always slows me down. |
The doggies are a big reason I do not look forward to big, messy projects.
Teak and travertine-look floors *sigh* sounds goooorgeous!
I worry too about making really big decisions like kitchen cabinets. Thinking that the white kitchens that I love may only look good in photos, and might not be as appealing to me in person. The only thing I know for sure is that I am tired of oak.
Ann, I love the house in the blog you linked. Very eclectic.
