Hey everybody, things are moving along. The new design is drawn and 3 designers are bidding on custom cabinets, I have picked out the granite and fabricator, and have a start on selecting appliances. Wow, so many meetings, and so many decisions that I hardly have time to spend on YT.
It takes 10-12 weeks to get cabinets made and delivered here, so we won't do demolition until late August or early Sept. and hopefully will be complete at the end of September.
I will attach a "before" photo of my now 22 yr old kitchen that has served me well, but now time to move on. It looks smaller in the photo (the long bar top is actually 12 1/2 feet, and kitchen extends wider than photo into pantry).
Wish me luck

This is really exciting, and I am not as scared as I have been.
