Kitchen reno update. Miles to go before we sleep, but the big news is…
We found an oven! It will take a decade (or like, three months) to make its pretty self to us, but the order is done and dusted. Woo hoo! We already have the dreamiest cooktop sitting on our dining room floor, and the fridge was able to be installed so we can use it while we wait for eternity to arrive.
Cabinets will be ordered this week at which time we will be told when we can expect them. I am stocking up on hair coloring because I know the gray will be here before the cabinets.
I also spent the wee hours of the morning researching kitchen sinks. This seems like a no-brainer, but it ain’t. Steel gauge is apparently something we should pay attention to. And we might consider a ceramic sink. Crazy!
We are looking for a range hood for an island 36 inch cooktop. We are thinking of going with an in-ceiling range vent. See sample photo below. Has anyone ever used one?
Next item on the to do list is for us to remove the flooring and try to save the hardwoods for replacement once we drop the dining room step down. Has anyone ever removed flooring and actually been able to save the tongue and groove? Apparently, the eye roll our contractor gave us when we told him what we planned to do doesn’t bode well for success.
