Fate Plays A Card

We’ve decided that $80K is too much to spend on a kitchen. I called our designer and told her that and told her to eliminate the prep area on the south wall and add a prep sink on the east wall, on the opposite end from the oven.

When we got back from Boston I had a message from her. She said that that change, along with the change in the cabinets we requested, and eliminating the granite counter tops (which we did not request), dropped the cost to $55k. That’s still a lot.

Our refrigerator has been failing for a while. Now it can keep ice in the freezer, but cannot get the ‘fridge below 60F. I’m pretty sure that it is a Freon issue. We were hoping that it will last until we get one with this whole project, but now it looks like we’ll have to buy one now. We’re going to look at them tonight.

Today I called another design place, Artisan Kitchen & Bath, and we will be meeting with them next week Thursday for another design.
