Final Kitchen Decision Pending

Well, I was a little premature on my kitchen information in the previous posting.     We needed to get the kitchen details finalized.   Earlier I had requested bids from 3 different companies but almost had a heart attack when I saw the projected costs.   I was torn between wood finish and painted finish cabinets until we saw the two final bids for each option.  We will be working with our contractor to install the new kitchen and purchasing appliances from a local appliance store who will install them.

Our cabinets are going to be a rustic birch in a Fawn natural finish.  Our floors will be a terra cotta color tile.  Quartz countertops will be Bradford with cream, yellow, terra cotta and slate gray.  Wall color will be a nice creamy taupe chosen from the color in the sample.  The wall color could change once we see the actual color/pattern when installed.  And I still have no idea what the backsplash will be and that is the final decision.

The appliances are different than we originally planned.  We were going to install GE Profile slate gray but Mike has asked for the Electrolux/Frigidaire side by side full fridge and full freezer.  They only comes in stainless so that changed the appliance plans.  I know they look large but each side is only 18.5 cubic feet.

I wanted a gas range ever since I saw cousin Terry's Blue Star in her new kitchen.  I've enjoyed cooking on it when we visit so that is my splurge.   The kitchen drywall and gas line should be installed this coming week.   Water line for freezer needs to also be moved into the correct location.

Hopefully construction progress will continue at the current pace.  Mike is on site every day and that eliminates questions and decision delays.  He is keeping us on time & budget and doing a great job!!
