Kitchen Madness

You know our kitchen?  The one that usually looks something like this?

Well, it currently looks something like this...

You see, the day after we got back from Alaska, we discovered a leak under our sink.  A valve had given out.  And well, it resulted in 1/3 of our cabinets, drywall, and insulation being ripped out.  Good times. 

But, look on the bright side.  Now we get to tackle our first major renovation.

We've started interviewing contractors, and hopefully the renovation process will begin soon.  'Cause eating on paper plates is getting kinda old.

Currently, the plan is to:

• Keep the saltillo tiles
• Rebuild the missing base cabinets
• Reface the existing cabinets with shaker style doors and drawer fronts
• Add new hardware
• Replace the existing back splash with bead board
• Upgrade the countertops - we're thinking black granite
• Upgrade the sink and faucet
• Add a fresh coat of paint to the walls and trim
• And possibly replace the light fixtures

I think that's it.  Plan is subject to change depending on timeline, funds, and our mood given any particular day.  I'm sure there will be plenty more to come on this topic...
